I second the cycle orientated casual clothing at a reasonable price. Rapha, Swrve, Vulpine and Levi commuter stuff is all pricey. No equivalent style products at the £40 or less (trousers) as far as I can tell....gap in the market?

I followed @edscoble 's advice and bought some yoga slacks from uniqlo. 20 bucks and work as well as the levis commuter at 6x the price. No reinforced crotch but who cares. Worst case I'll just buy 6 pairs. They look fine and you are tricking everyone into thinking that you are wearing trousers when in reality you are wearing sweat pants.

That's exactly my reasoning too, they come in a nice selection of colour too, can't remember the last time I worn denim.
