"In general, the minute you tack the word "travel" onto almost any garment, it becomes more expensive and, well, uglier. While they're still a little pricey, the P-cubed Adventure Traveler Pants by Clothing Arts don't fit the baggy, saggy nylon pajamas stereotype; the cut, styling and feel are closer to a comfortable pair of khakis.
