I have made plenty of copies of the Marx-Etzel trousers for customers, and they are pretty wide (55inches to be exact) - it is thought they were quite short, probably mid thigh length as the original - it is also thought that the Marx-Etzel pattern could well have been a ladies pair of maternity underwear...
For the blokes, they have to be modified slightly, and made longer... but they do the job and the number of comments I have had about their durability suggests they may have been a 'daily' wear item of clothing which were suitable for long marches
