    I got a decent pair of chino type trousers from Massimo Dutti (who are owned by Zara).

    Priced at £39.99 and they're a jeans shaped fit.

    Unfortunately, I've found it difficult to even find a pair of white denim jeans, let alone ones with a similar fit.

    It's a bit disheartening because I actually happen to like the style, and not because of the bond movies.

    Levis makes the 501 in white, and they supposedly updated their fit, but I'm doubting it's going to fit like the sta prest.

    The 501's are now a straighter/slimmer fit that previous.

    You could go for the white 501's and get them tapered.

    I managed to find a pair of cream 504's which are the green label organic cotton, they're a very good alternative to the 306's if you can locate a pair I'd recommend them.

    I bought the white 501s one size larger than normal to try to get a fit closer to the sta-prest (in the upper portion of the jeans at least), and I think it's probably as close as you can get. I have the tidal blue 501s in my normal size, and the white ones aren't nearly as tight, but I don't feel like I'm swimming in them either.

    To be honest, I've never had a pair of jeans tailored. I might try that {[]

    Oh, and does anyone know the leg opening measurement on the Sta Prest? That might help when getting 501s tailored.

    HI, just joined up.
    I got a pair of white slim fit gap jeans (32"w, 30"L) from gap, in their sale for £14.99. Perfect with my navy polo shirt and Brown Clarks desert boots.

    Hi to you.

    That's a bargain. What jacket are you going to finish it all off with?

    Already there with a navy Ben Sherman "harrington style" jacket. Like the one DC wears at the end, as they are both very similar.

    I have one of those jackets, they're a good price at £60 I thought.

    Also I have a navy Lyle & Scott jacket which has button cuffs, they're a great jacked as long as you don't mind the eagle logo on the chest.

    I quite like it myself.

    If you guys are looking for a jacket somewhat similar to the black one DC wears in QOS, look at the dickies unlined eisenhower jacket. It looks pretty close to me.

    Is that available from the UK?
  • 82Benedetto82Benedetto Posts: 64MI6 Agent
    I'm not sure if they sell the jacket in the UK, but I'm positive you could find someone that will ship it there. It's not an uncommon piece of clothing and it's relatively cheap.
