I'd suggest an Army Surplus store for the breeches/plus fours/jodphers from the German or Italian army. Unless you are American sized, though, then that will be a no go. Those guys are skinny. I learned that the hard way. Rapha is a bicycle clothing manufacturer that sells some, but they also have Rapha pricing.

Best bet would be to hit up Goodwill or a thrift store for a decent pair of wool slacks and get creative with a sewing machine. Mrs.C has made me a few pairs ranging from elastic in the cuffs, to velcro or buttons to make the cuffs adjustable.

Don't forget the tweed shooting jacket and a vest. With all that gear, you can also partake in the annual, world wide Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride.
