I only use Tilley's stuff as travel pants - their casual pants are jean-like but have features designed for travel - velcroed pockets, secret pockets, quick-dry. They are expensive but they last forever and serve the purpose for many things. There is an annual warehouse sale. Here's an example

B1: I asked in another thread but got no responses: what is the drying time of the Tilley pants? They have lightweight nylon pants that would obviously dry very quickly. But they also have pants in 'adventure cloth' (which is what I assume you are talking about). Those pants are 70% polyester and 30% cotton.
How quickly do they dry? I ask this because I am suspicious that anything cotton will take a long time to dry.
