Smart long wool trousers with deep pockets

Do they exist? For women?

I am looking to buy new smart trousers. I want trousers with deep side pockets (think as those typical for men's trousers) and not made of synthetic material. I wear 32 inch inside leg.

I don't think these are odd criteria, but I see them only as made for men. I wear only men's jeans and that works fine for me, but in smart trousers I've found where I sit down there is a roll of fabric that forms halfway down between belt and crotch, because of course I do not have male anatomy. I don't know whether this is something that a tailor could adjust the trousers for (side question!) but I'm starting to come around to it as being a lesser problem than the problems I encounter in women's trousers. Even when they're not only made for shorter women, they have no pockets or titchy pockets, and there is polyester everywhere!

I want trousers that are wool, possibly a wool blend, or actual cotton, but not polyester/viscose.

What is your budget. They exist, but they tend to be expensive IMO eg Margaret Howell . For me she’s crazy expensive but obviously some people can afford her stuff www.margarethowell.co.uk/womens/mhl/trousers/high-waist-flat-front-trouser-barathea-wool-blend-black

Budget probably in the 100-200 range. I see a lot of men's trousers like this in the 80-180 range, so probably aiming for similar.

The first one at Cos looks sort of like the right sort of thing (not clear what the pockets are like), but the length is only 31 inch. The same is the case for most of the House of Bruor trousers I can see. One of the wool blend ones does do 32, but only has a single back pocket and apparently none in front.
