elton boots are a good budget boot that will serve you well, as will any of the cheaper type a, or c trousers. speak to justin(fr jones)he will keep you right, i wouldnt go and spend fortunes on the the shiniest, fanciest clothing, it will lul you into a false sense of security that this job is like the arb magazines, cool poses and catalogue model looks..get yourself a skid lid, boots and ballsitics and get stuck right in..welcome to the forum mate:001_cool:
