Do you mean UK or US pants? ie underpants or trousers?

Trousers sorry I was in USA mode

I bought some cotton/wool blend OG german trousers from ebay a couple of years back - they were advertised as moleskins, but while they're the same design, they are thicker and, well woolier. They also don't fit so if you're a 30' waist you're welcome to them.

I bought some original Swdish Army issue wool trousers circa 1946 and completely unworn for about £25 plus postage from www.britisharmysurplus.com . The real McCoy.

I can send you proper measurements and pics over the weekend if you're interested in them. I'm at work until tomorrow but let me know and I'll pm you. They're just sat doing nothing at the moment.

You had me worried, tad itchey for the delicate regions, also a nightmare to clean, not like popping your cotton underpants in the washing machine.

I know that overhere (NL) you get taxed when you go over 80 EUR, that includes costs for postage (...). Probably the same in the UK, as I thinks it's derived from EU directives.

60 USD (44 EUR) is about 40 GBP, so you'll be on the safe side.

Ta for that I thought it was £100 bit out there then!!
Ta for the offer of the 30" trous I think \i had better go for a bigger size as they may be a bit aherm tight.
