I've been fortunate enough to be able to buy a Massimo Alba sloop jacket on eBay, which I've received today.
I'm looking for recommendations for alternatives to the Massimo Alba sloop trousers (as they're not sold separately to the jacket as far as I'm aware), ideally in the U.K.
Any replies and advice greatly appreciated.

The sloop suit comes with both trousers and jacket... That's how I bought it. Massimo Alba sold it as a complete suit
The colour looks like a decent enough match, unfortunately they have a drawstring waist. You could take that out and cover the holes with a belt?
Thanks.
Here’s a couple of alternatives I’ve seen so far:
The colour for the M&S trousers is “sand”. There are limited quantities left, so I’ve ordered a pair of these.
These from Hackett aren’t available in my size online but there are a few pairs at stores in London, so I’ll try a pair on if I’m in London soon:
These are another option from Massimo Dutti:

I’m getting some alterations done to the jacket, so once I’ve got that, I’ll be able to colour match better. I might see how they look with a pair of Massimo Alba Winch2 trousers too
If you can't get a pair of matching Sloop suit corduroy trousers from Massimo Alba, any other corduroy will be a terrible clash with the sloop suit jacket. You'd be better off wearing it with a pair of cotton gabardine trousers or chinos in a couple shades lighter or darker than the jacket.
You’re right Matt, I realised that as soon as I tried on a pair with the jacket. Thanks for the advice and keep up the good work.
