Alternative to Levis 306 Silver Birch

TheExit148 · March 2011

I found some Levi's 511 in Silver Birch on Urban Outfitters. Just ordered myself a pair. Pretty sure these are very close to the 306's in material and fit. Great alternative at a nice price.

Other option is to go to www.urbanoutfitters.com and search 511 white. I got confirmation from their customer service that the white is "Silver Birch" just incase any may doubt.

Hi there

Your link doesn't appear to work for me - not sure about other members but I can't see the item.

However, I actually have a pair of Levi 511's and I must admit they are lovely trousers! Not 100% sure on how close they are to the 306's but they do give a similar look I admit.

Any chance of a pic?

I found some pairs of Levi's 501 jeans that look similar to the 306's that he wore in the movie. The colour "Grit" looks like Silver Birch (Haiti), & "Mushroom" looks like Sand Pit (Talamone).

Trouble is that the longest leg on that website is 34. I wear 36. Where can I get something at an adult size?

welshboy78 · March 2011

I find them too skinny compared to my 306s

swisschalet · March 2011

I've been trying to find fit info (especially measurements) of the 306. Can you provide these or point me to where these can be found? Thanks in advance

At the end of QoS where Bond goes to get green with Camille, he is wearing Tom Ford Glasses and jacket, Church Ryder III boots, but what jeans is Daniel sporting?

I could be wrong but I think they might have been "7 For All Mankind" jeans. If not I'm sure members will correct me

These are the jeans at the end of QOS. I have a pair and they are great.

Those are the correct jeans, but Seven has removed details, such as the double belt loop in the back, and blue coloured rivets on the jeans. Other then that, I believe fit, colour and denim used are all the same.

Not trying to get off-topic, but I just thought I'd say that these jeans here: http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3015295&cp=3146842.3146854.3691981

are the PERFECT budget alternative 7 For All Mankind Straight Leg Mercer jeans from QoS. I now own several pairs, and they look spot-on to the 7FAM, with that gorgeous dark blue wash. It also doesn't hurt that they're less than 1/4th the cost of the Sevens. Anyways, just thought I'd get the word out for Bonds On A Budget. Just make sure you get the "Tumbled Rigid" wash.

Nice find!!

I got my Sevens yesterday and absolutely love them, as they are stretchy they are soooo comfy, prefer wearing them to the Sta Prests and will def hunt down another cheap pair off eBay

DJ007 · March 2011

Real nice find BLU8! I am going to buy a couple of pair when I don't want to dirty up my Sevens. Thanks again!

TheExit148 · March 2011

I have a pair of the '67 Levis LVC 505, and they have a great fit, and look great with the desert boots. Definitely recommend the 505's. I believe Levi's updated their current 505 to be more accurate to the '67 fit, except the newer ones have a slightly lower rise then the '67 505.

Anyone have a pair of the 7's in a 30 waist that could tell me the leg opening size?

Thank you for this post! I will definitely look into these! -{

Anyone suggest a UK stockist of the 505 tumbled rigid or the other variety? -{

The 306s are quite standard and if you're in any way slim you'll find them a little large.

Wilde · May 2011

I was looking specifically for the 505 Tumbled Rigid. Can't find them anywhere in the UK.

RayBani · May 2011

Wilde i found them on amazon heres the link http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002ZG8I56/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just picked up some Levis 559s in Tumbled Rigid, and they are GREAT! The 511s were way too tight for me, but the 559s were so comfortable, that I got another pair in the other (lighter) color!

jz007 · August 2011

Grit is a nice color! The closest I could find on the Levis' website was the sand. Nice find!

Also, the sizes have updated, so for those of you concerned about the length, please have a look!

Question: are the Sta-Prest pants more chino-like, or jeans-like?

Sort of half-way house, really.

Thesy are not as loose or lightweight as traditional chinos, nor as heavy and fitted as jeans. And, of course, they have the sta-prest crease down the leg to give the look of trousers rather than casual jeans.

Hope this helps!

Perfectly, thank you!
