I bought them here: https://www.machinegun.fr/pantalon-gris-p-25028
However I must warn you. I also got some damaged stuff in that order and the owner didn't want to compensate it or refund it, whlie I had an unboxing video that showed it was already damaged when it reached my home. So beware, I cannot recommend this site.
The vest is not white, but a little grey. It's not white in the movie either, so it matches well I must say.
Aaaaarghh! That's a bummer. I'll see if I can find those elsewhere. Thanks.

You can buy them there. I doubt you will have issues with only some simple pants. However I also ordered a 1/6 drum there and that one was broken, and then the trouble started. Very bad customer service at all. So for just pants you can try it. Just don't buy stuff there that can break...

Nice custom.
That was always the thing that bugged me about the absurdity of the T1000. It's just liquid, so shooting it anywhere should have no effect. Like when it gets it's head split in the elevator scene, why would that stagger it? It has no brain/cpu in the head, no eyes. I can see a the ending, it is off balance and tips over, but everything else? Robots are always dispatched like humans, headshots, so put the cpu else where in the body, like it's left thigh or something.

He is probably a bit far fetched. And he seems so much more advanced than a T-800 that I don't think T-'1000' quite covers it 
However, if you like T2 you suspend disbelief and buy into what it says about him on wikipedia and come up with your own rationalizations if need be.
So, to your points - he's only liquid when he's an actual puddle - otherwise he is always solid and as such can be physically knocked backwards when shot.
In the Pescadero scenes I see it as he makes himself 'malleable' as opposed to liquid when he's walking through the bars, quite a bit more malleable when he allows himself to flow down through the hole in the elevator ceiling - but still not quite liquid because he is able to stand back up and reform so quickly. Then in the much later scene where he anticipates the T-800's punch, again, he can't have turned completely into liquid because gravity should have made him instantly drop to the floor as a puddle - rather he remained solid to a large extent and just....gooey enough in that particular part of him that the T-800's fist passed through him.....or something.

I think a simple answer to the reaction is that whatever internal process causes him to hold a solid form needs to reset when disturbed, so all the force keeping the Robert Patrick form is thrown off by the impact of bullets and he has to reset his computing, the smaller bullets at pescadero barely phase him but grenades and rockets really mess him up.

but...but...but...but, how could it travel thru time if it's 'liquid metal' NOT surrounded by living tissue!!
Personally I just rolled with that one and gave up long ago on trying to figure that plot hole out...
Obviously the T-1000 Is pure fantasy but I don't think that the idea is that its CPU and optic sensors aren't localized somewhere on its body (assumedly its "head.") It does seem to have a central "hub" that is required to function as implied by the scenes where pieces of him had to rejoin to become functional again as opposed to just growing into a bunch of autonomous mini-terminators.

He arrived inside of a big sack of human flesh. Cameron opted not to film that though presumably because it would have made a weird as **** visual.

Good call James Cameron. Sounds like it would look like a ball sack.
