Felt Trousers?

[barry1010]

My wife is looking for heavy weight, wide legged trousers in what she calls felt. She can’t find what she is looking for online and wonders if felt is the wrong term.
Can you suggest what she should be searching for?

Moleskin?

Think she wants to look for wool felt. Felt only would not be good for clothes

My expertise is in women's underwear circa 1952-2022, but I am willing to wander outside my comfort zone.
Felt is a material and Felt trousers both for men and women are available on the internet.

Well done sqad, not a bit of sexy knickers in sight :-)

Velvet is very different to felt. Thanks Sqad but a lot of those trousers aren't felt, the word felt is just used in the other sense - these trousers felt comfortable...

mj, I wear a lot of moleskin trousers and I can see the similarity but they are much stiffer than what she wants.

As felt is a process rather than a specific wool, the nearest to felt would be Microfleece

She wants wool felt, tailored trousers

[pastafreak]

This came up on a search...but I don't think they are felt.

Google Matthew Williamson.

[pastafreak]

If you scroll down, there's quite a few wool felt trousers...but they are quite expensive.

Does she mean serge, the fabric they make uniforms out of?

[calmck]

Does she have any clothes in the material she wants? If so take it into a shop and ask for a buyer who could maybe point her in the right direction

Boiled wool?

[barry1010]

Thank you all and apologies, she now realises it is flannel trousers that she should be looking for.
They don't feel like towels, apparently.
Wish me luck

[Vagus]

Ahh, that makes sense Barry. And yes, it’s not toweling :o)
