I hope this hasn't already been covered, but how easy/practical is it to reverse engineer clothing? The reason I ask is my work pants are slowly dying after 3 years of constant use and I really need a new pair. The shop they come from sells the same design still, but they only have lovely fabric this season and I refuse to pay $200+ for that. The ones I have are a wool mix and I got them half price at $100 so I ain't paying double for crap no matter how nice they look. So is it possible? I don't want to have to pull them apart either, but I guess that's an option when they're so worn they're unwearable.

You shouldn't have to pull them apart--lay them flat and trace them out on some muslin or junk fabric with a similar weight, and use that to make a prototype that you can alter, then make a final paper pattern and find the actual fabric that you like. Awesome  Thanks!
