  • 100% this is what I’m after. But also trying to not dress in all black like I have done forever.

    I know muted green/blue/grey isn’t exactly colour explosion but it’s progress.

    Without sounding stupid, I basically just have to go out shopping and looking don’t I?
    Trying to look online seems so endless and tricky. But I’m struggling to even find a start point.

    Start with basics that can be worn frequently. Good simple heavy weight raw denim straight fit jeans, pants, plain t-shirts, functional footwear.

    If you're hard on clothes like I am, then get things that age well. Heavy weight good denim, for example. Don't get white tailored chinos because they look fresh in the shop. It won't last. Once you get the basics, then get the white chinos.

    Tellason in the US is probably exactly what you're looking for. Very high quality. Ages well. Looks good new and after 10 years. And age appropriate. I'm less picky about tellason pricing because it literally lasts decades and gets better with time. Strong recommend.

    I also love Todd Snyder but this is way less hard wearing and durable. I frequently check out the sales because most of it is too expensive for my abusive use.

    If you want to go off the deep end of American style, check out black bear brand. It's kidney donation pricing but so so good.

    Out of curiosity, what about the crotch?

    I've realised that every pair of non-baggy jeans I've had have blasted through the crotch. Some faster than the others, but all without fail.

    Never tried insanely heavy weight denim as I get quite claustrophobic in restrictive clothes.

    No true cotton denim lasts with biking, if that's what you're asking. that said, i just get the crotch darned for 15 bucks and its good as new for another few years.

    the heavy weight denim takes a year to even start to break in and can feel quite restrictive.

    truth is i was thinking of the tapered pants for @Nef from Tellason when i suggested it. theyre great.

    a lot of the selections from tellason have videos of actual non-model humans wearing them.
