Some of the hiking pants are pretty hard to tell from just casual pants. Kuhl is a good one for that category with lighter fabrics. You might also look at things sold more as travel pants, like Eddie Bauer. I'm sure someone will recommend lightweight "tacticool" pants, but those are not really any cooler than jeans to me and likely not appropriate for an office job. Some of Dickie's stuff is lighter. Not the most stylish and the durability is variable. Uniqlo might also work as being slightly more durable than your average mall store, but don't expect to do hard labour in them. More offbeat suggestion - Utilikilt. There are also some other good sport kilt makers out there, but very much if it seems too cheap to be true, it probably is.

Cotton or cotton blend khakis are much more comfortable than jeans in the summer.

I always got them from Gap or Old Navy and they would last maybe 5 years.

Orvis makes some delightful lightweight pants. I guess they're technically hiking pants, but they're super comfy and don't have all the cargo pockets and extra zippers that some hiking pants have.

They are the only brand of boxers I wear personally.

I tried Saxx which are similar didn’t like them as much. Tried some of the MyPackage boxer briefs (former name of Bn3th). And liked them, they were cheaper too.

Been wearing them ever since. I am still trying to find what style/fabric I like the most. So far the basic cotton ones are my go to.

My GF has Docs from the factory in Nottingham. They cost about £15 more than the standard.(£200ish IIRC) One quick way to tell the difference is the leather strip that covers the back vertical seam is uncoloured on the edge. The others have the edge dyed black. She also has a 24holed embroidered foreign pair and a brand new nubuck steel toe capped pair she is currently breaking in on an Azerbaijan oil rig manufacturing site….does anyone remember the Alexei Sayle song that declares the retail price of £19.99??..@1984
