"Wheat" coloured ones crop up in that Tony Curtis film where he talks about going to Le Drugstore & rides a scooter around Paris.

- How White do you like 'em, RH?
I like White best when it gets a bit old & turns to Chalk White as opposed to Snowy White (I'm thinking of OCBDs here).

I've never tried the White 501... I think they might not suit my lifestyle of coffee drips & fag ash... But I can imagine them looking good.

Best -

White Jeans with Navy Blazers & Chukkas is a very 'Polo Spectator' look. Under the Blazer goes an open collared English Spread collar shirt in one of those Jermyn Street stripes.

There are times - warm days or when I'm feeling slightly raffish - I wish I hadn't been quite so hasty.  I used to love wearing them into school, alternating them with Sta-Prest.  They look good with a chocolate brown dessie (not Sta-Prest).  Anyway they went, both pairs.  Ditto the Sta-Prest (too stiff for Ivy IMO).  Come the autumn, up at school, it'll be Bill's dark brown cords and a Shetland crew neck.  Caramel-coloured chukka boots.

I remember reading that thing about Steve Marriott being beaten up for wearing... well, white trousers if not white Levis...  and I also remember, very vividly, a dole queue in Derby and this kid walking in wearing white trousers and black winklepickers.  There were teds in there in their off-duty gear who jeered him as he came in, signed on, then buzzed off again.  He later became a designer in a Milan fashion house.

They are great on young, slim men.
Actually, that sounded a bit gay, but you know what I mean...

I think a natural ecru is warmer than white in 5 pocket jeans. I'm waiting for a suitable occasion to wear my high waisted jeans from All Saints. I think I may have a pair that were a sample. The main thing is the fit is good and I can see myself strolling alongside the Thames estuary in them.

Yeah I’ve been wearing off white denim a fair bit when the sun shines. To be honest I think I expected more of a reaction than they actually got. I’ve found they go pretty well with most things except red, white and black (which isn’t a problem as I don’t own any black tops).
I resisted going Style Council, with loafers, blazer and striped T. Too old and bald for that look.
Wife and child free day tomorrow, so I’ll be sauntering, mooching and drinking espresso in off white jeans, an olive RL polo and (probably) desert boots.

bought myself a pair of Ivory fob bedford’s when in london. Tiny bit too small at the moment, fitting into them is supposed to be some kind of motivation, we’ll see. Also ordered a pair of “off-white??  smart uniqlo trousers - i wanted something with a crease. To be paired with my red jakes chambray, a navy ocbd and polo shirts for the summer. Contemplating the most un-ivy pair of footwear imaginable to go with them - some of the Paraboot sandals. Bog standard shoe choices will be a pair of padmore & barnes (once made just up the road in Kilkenny) in something pale & Alden LHS no 8. Possibly even the Sanders low-tops in snuff, no socks.

Is wheat white or off-white?  I see it as off-white - specifically off-white.  True or false?
A poster - some years ago - classified them as a very American look in (perhaps) the 1980s.

I have a couple of pairs of vintage Levi 615 jeans in what I take to be wheat colour. A nice cut, straight leg and a good 12??  rise in a 34??  waist. There’s loads of them on eBay, a seller up Watford way seems to specialise in them, for £20_£30 a pair they are an excellent buy. Wheat is a very light shade of, dare I say beige, or it could be off white or even khak, or maybe ecru. Anyway, worn in a relaxed fit they look fine and entirely appropriate on the mature gentleman and great with madras shirts. AFS  -  get yourself a pair and stop using passe’ words like ‘slacks’ please.

Instinct tells me I'm too old for these.  I was really too old when I wore them previously.  I'd say forty is the absolute cut-off point.
