Possible Pant Alternative?

I got a pair of "chinos" at WalMart the other day that I feel are the best store-bought replica of Indy's pants, with respect to color-likeness.

The pants have pleats but the back pockets aren't flapped. There are cuffs at the ankles, but I had mine removed and hemmed. I reckon if you were to buy one size smaller lengthwise you could just undo the cuff attachments and the added length would be just right.

There's a link below to these pants on WalMart's website. The color I got MUST be what they call "mocha" on the site. But mine're just slightly lighter than their color sample. Mine are about a cross between the "mocha" and "khaki", with maybe a hint of "olive" thrown in.

But yeah, these pants are the PERFECT color, in my opinion. It's virtually impossible to find store-bought pants that aren't super-light khaki-colored. In photographs the khakis look nearly white. But I reckon these "chinos" would hold up good in pictures.

They're a good choice, I think, at least for the "Temple of Doom" pants. And at $19.96 you could buy a crapload and beat the hell out of 'em.
