    I've got a few pairs of combat style utility trousers from my Navy days. They are dark blue, with numerous pockets. They are in pretty good condition too. Should be fireproof also - but the onboard laundryman usually put paid to that.

    If you want, I can send you a pic of them.

    They are about a 36" waist but as far as I remember they are very adjustable either way.

    (They are at home at the minute and I am trying to remember what they are like).

    Kilburn high road (London, Kilburn Park tube stop) has a surplus store selling all sorts of camo stuff cheap. I can't remember the name of the the stop but if you get out of the tube and cross the road so that you are on the same side as sainsburys and walk away from the tube, you will pass the store on your right.
