I ended-up getting a Quince Mongolian cashmere sweater for $50. It’s super soft and very lightweight. Slim, with turn-back sleeves and a short body, it does have a fairly shallow V.
Ideal for indoor wear. Perhaps not a perfect sub for the Bobby, but a great option nonetheless.
The eternal hunt for taupe Morocco trousers continues. Next I’m thinking of trying the Volcoms. Does anyone have real-world experience with these? Specifically: colour, fit and rise?
I tried the Vuori trousers next. The colour is a nice warm grey taupe but too dark for the Royale jacket and the pants are too slim all over - not uncomfortably so due to the stretch, but still feel like tights or yoga pants. The rise could be a bit higher, but I suspect the oroginal Brunos are also a little low.
Budget alternative for TB Palmyra shirt. Marks & Spencer's. Sorry think I have posted image of green and white stripe rather than blue and white stripe.

Quick question: What’s the best budget alt for the Bobby sweater right now?

Or any fresh suggestions, since the last IA post - I do see some new offerings that might match are out there.

The quest continues…
I’d say that the pair second from right with the blue lining are closest.
The problem is the jacket colour is way off. It should be darker than the chinos.
This is my current ‘mood board’ looking at this outfit for inspiration.
The screen BC Jacket changes colour depending on indoor, outdoor, sunlight, shade and filters.
They aren’t stretch, but the higher rise and straight leg appeal. My main concern is the colour doesn’t look that grey-taupe and might be a bit dark:
