The mostly-nylon types hold up MUCH better than the cotton ones in my
experience. I have a pair of "Elan" cotton-lined smooth nylon breeches
(Millers used to distribute them, they have a funny contour cut
and no kneepatch) that are in great condition after 11 years!
I've had really bad luck with the cotton breeches. I got a couple of
pairs when they first came out and they were REALLY comfortable
and I thought they were just going to be THE best thing, but they
started to rip at the seams and where the patches were sewn on in
only a couple of months. They may have fixed this problem since,
but I've never bought another pair.
