Alternatives to Dickies 873 that sit at the waist (UK)
Oh nice, I might order a pair to try them in that case, I really like the brand ethos and been wanting to check out their stuff for a while

It's cool but I'm looking for something for the office, I'd probably be wearing with a tailored shirt most of the time and brown or black derbies so I'm not sure the wider, work wear style will fit

As an aside, have you ever seen the CC selvedge? They look really nice but it's a fairly lightweight denim, 12.5oz I think?

Oh those are nice, and I've heard good things about the brand. 8.5inch hem feels a little massive to me, I'm still quite attached to my slim silhouettes

Thanks very much, that's very kind.
I think you are probably right, so I've started looking at some of the brands recommended above and will do an eBay/vinted deep dive this weekend

Yeah my thinking is to add to my wardrobe piece by piece, I've got a lot of fairly neutral dress shirts and OCBDs that I think would work well with more classicly tailored trousers and potentially jackets.

Thanks, this is an epic list which I'll have to work through properly, but off the bat, I like (despite my best intentions) quite a lot of the Abercrombie looks recently.
I've not really looked at much of Cos' stuff, I think I got put off them a bit when I was younger due to cost and my desire not to depart from slim tapered jeans.

I might need a slightly more conservative jacket, or perhaps a jumper/cardigan instead?

As a bonus, I am also looking for a bag for my commute. My Eastpak backpack feels a little juvenile, but I'm struggling to find something that fits my requirements.
I like the idea of a modern briefcase with a strap, but not something overly formal that's got decent compartments. From my searching so far, the Filson Tin Cloth Compact Briefcase in Navy (https://www.filson.com/bags-luggage/briefcases/tin-cloth-compact-briefcase.html#sku=20263587-fco-000000074) is really up my street, however I'm not sure how easy it is to get in the UK so would be grateful for similar alternatives.
