Finding dull doll clothes

modernwizardLHF characters dress in one of two styles. Some wear subdued clothing, either historical or utilitarian. Others wear mismatched flamboyant disasters. See chart.
There are more subdued characters than flamboyant ones, but I have more flamboyant clothes than I do subdued ones. Because I assign each character, no matter how minor, his/her own body and outfit[s], I've run out of subdued outfits, especially pants and shoes. I wish I could just buy jeans and sneakers in bulk. Since I can't, here are some sources for subdued clothes [when I have the $$$]:
Triad's Eye Spy 1.0 is a set of 1 neutral black long-sleeved shirt and 1 pair neutral black pants for guys, $19.00. Triad also makes bootcut denim jeans for fems, $20.00, but I don't like the idea of spending $20.00 on one article of doll clothing. Triad also makes fem biker boots, $7.00 a pair.
A quick poke around the Web reveals that Doll Clothes Superstore has some REALLY CHEAP items for Ken dolls, which may be big enough to fit over Cy Girls' asses. Silk bathrobe, $4.55. Jeans, $3.50. White tank and cargo shorts, $3.85. Sport shirt and jeans, $4.35. And my favorite, What Is Going On?, $5.45. Take the link. It's silly. This place also offers clothing for Barbies at similar prices.
And more Ken doll clothes from Barbee and Friends. Higher prices [$6.50 for jeans and a T-shirt] than Doll Clothes Superstore and a smaller selection. Jeans and T-shirt with choice of colors, $6.50. Scrubs [neutral navy blue], $8.50. Pajamas [white tank and plaid pants], $5.50.
Adventure Gear has great stuff, especially plaid shirts and flannel shirts!!
Look -- dull pants from A.J. Clothiers! This site also sells historically approximate chemises, dresses, gowns, shirts, vests, etc.
What I'm gathering is that Triad's prices are quite high.
