From Wyoming comes a new manufacturer with an old idea: use heavy, double-weave cotton canvas to make durable but supple outdoor clothing. Mountain Khakis’ Alpine Utility Pants are triple-stitched and have a double panel on the rear, knees and backs of the cuffs for long life. True, you don’t want to get them wet, but if day-tripping at either end of the season, these should be your pants.
