    Sir,

    I'm confused by your question...you asked for "thoughts" on single and double fall pants "trousers"...and then give for example fustian/linette (linen/cotton) mix materials...

    As I know it, single and double fall trousers have to do with the construction style of the trousers, and in many cases are directly related to the period in which the trousers were constructed (of course there are exceptions)...

    If your'e asking if the following fabrics; linen, cotton, or a mix of the two were used in constructing trousers...then the answer would be a most definent maybe, depending on the impression; civilian/military/militia, location, time period, and time of year...(I don't think linen trousers would be very popular in the harsh winters of the Great Lakes Regions).

    Please try to be a little more specific with your questions, and I am sure the members of this forum may be able to provide some help.
