Mrs Bop bought me a pair of Old Navy back from the US. I have to say they weren't that bad for the price, the quality was a lot better than a UK brand like for like such as matalan..and the rise was the best Ive found on modern 5ps...only trouble was a bit of excess round the seat probably wouldve been ok if i went down a size..you Americans cut things big, even when they're slimfit

Jos. A. Bank has a decent traditional version (they go on sale often). I bought a pair of the taupe about a year ago (on sale of course).

I would just wear them as a casual grey 5 pocket. Worn with knitwear or a sweat. Maybe a topsman if you have one in a colour that works well. See what is in your wardrobe that look good.

I miss the days when you could pick up a pair of decently made, relatively cheap chinos at Gap.  A few different cuts and a few different colours. It was easy and everybody had them.

Banana Republic, too.

Bit rich for me at $160.
