WTB: Acne Wallstreet to complete Shanghai Outfit

BCFDRay

Any chance someone is selling or has leads to a pair of the Acne wallstreet trousers from the Skyfall Shanghai scene or a fairly accurate alternative? I'm a US size 36x30

Lots of alternates and ideas for lots of popular Bond items, if you don't already know.

And, IMO, the best overall alternate (style\price\color) for these pants is the Apt. 9 Trousers from Kohl's.



BUT......... they were on sale before the New Year for $33 (and that's not counting the extra 30% off you can get as a cardmember 12 times per year) and they jacked the price up.... I'm assuming they jack up prices for the first several weeks of the new year to get extra $$$$$$$$$$ out of people who will be using the Kohl's gift cards they got for Christmas.

So if you're willing to wait a week or two to see if\when the price drops, these seem great. But if you want something faster, then check out the other options on the site I linked to.

Best of luck!

Thankfully decent alternatives aren't impossible to find. Check out Armenian's link. And you can Google grey sharkskin pants.

I just bought these last week on sale at Macy's for around 100 bucks:

I was just at Khols today looking for an alternate and must have missed those.

These seem pretty close, what do you think about the color?

Based off of pictures, and perhaps because I'm biased towards Kohl's, I'd say that the Kohl's pants are a tad bit darker and thus more similar to the Acnes than the Dobell pants.

But if you like the Dobell.com pants better, then just grab those.

Perhaps someone else can weigh in on these. Furthermore, if you're willing to wait for the price of the Kohl's pants to drop, you'll get an extra 30% off plus free shipping.

And they are online only, which is why they're not in stores, though I've seen similar shades around in the store.

Furthermore, another possible option, while complicated and has many snags, is to just grab the few alternates you have your eye on and compare them face to face, next to each other. Just make sure shipping and returns are free of course. lol

I hope to be doing this with the Brunello Cuccinelli Morocco trousers over the summer.
