hello.. after obsessively reading this forum for the last year and a half or so, i am starting to wear higher rise trousers with suiting and odd trousers, and i feel this approach looks better on my body type (slimish at 145 pounds, 5'7, broad shoulders but slim legs and slim hips) so, question for streetwear is - i desperately need help choosing raw denim that has a higher rise. reason is, for work i usually wear jeans with a soft collared shirt or button down tucked in, and this just looks ridiculous with low rise jeans on me, i'm basically busting out of the jeans anyway, so tucking in a shirt just accentuates my largeish shoulders and skinny legs..not a good look. bit more background, i've only bought dior 19 raws and APC petit standards over the past 3 years. now, usually a person should be able to buy 1 or 2 dior raws, but on mine, the crotch blows out after 6-12 months of 2-3 day a week wear, so i have a experimented with different sizes of diors thinking that was the reason for crotch blowout. on the APCs petit standards, i've only recently looked in the mirror and realized how ridiculous they look on me. the thighs are too tight, the crotch area looks tihgt, and the rise is super low on me, so i have to wear them very low. i've bought into looking comcortable in clothing,so trying to look cool and comfortable not digging the squeezed into low rise look anymore anyways this is getting too long sorry..to make it simple in case i lost you - - dior 19s: higher rise than APCs, look better on me than APCs i think, look more comfortable and can be worn with shirt tucked in, and can be worn higher on waist which seems to make me look a bit taller - APC petit standards: look OK when worn with beaten up plaid shirt overtop when hips covered, but look ridiculous when i try to tuck in a shirt. also, cant wear them higher and rise is so low on me - levis 501s: have an old pair which seem to have a higher rise as well so what i'd like to know is what are raw denim brands i can so i can finally get a pair of jeans i love that actually fit well with a higher rise. the only brands i really have tried on in years have been levis, APC and Dior, so i have no idea where to start looking for other options (i'm in London if anyone has stores)...thanks! OH..i should also add: i would like low rise but with legs on the slimmer side, as i think i suit a slimmer leg as a shorter guy

Petit Standards are just a low-rise version of the New Standard. I don't know how people came to believe other things about them, I think people believe they may be slimmer or something. I don't really like them but I have a pair I wore quite awhile and they look nice - I just can't keep them up because the rise is too low. Diors have an awesome rise. I love the block on that jean. I just wish I didn't have to wear the Dior branding on my ass anymore. I think the jean you're looking for is honestly a plain old pair of New Standards. Similar rise to Diors, more suitable leg if you're trying to wear them for biz caz.

hey..
i hear you on the PS rise, they look silly on me, wish i realised sooner before putting in 8 months with them. i do think you need to be slimane model slim to wear them, otherwise they look unflattering
i also agree with you on dior branding, i despise logos - but like you i love their cut. although, i'd be curious to try a higher rise, and open to slightly less tight thighs (maybe thats why the crotch always blows out before i even achieve any wear and character to the 19s).
can i ask you - do you know how the rise on NS compares to rise on 19? higher or lower??...
i'll try on a pair of NS, love that idea just hope rise high enough
i though difference between NS and PS was the width in the bottom half of jean, though NS was straight cut versus PS tapered but i could be wrong.
this page shows APCs in action (but guy skinny so looks good in all 3 cuts)

The rise is pretty similar between the NS and 19cm, not big enough a difference to get out the measuring tape. The Diors look a little taller because they dont have a button to break up the waistband. New Standards are 'straight fit, with a gradual taper from the knee down, neither too tight nor too loose' Petit Standards are the same jean with about an inch or inch and half lopped off the rise. They discontinued the Hipster model when they came out with the PS, which was their low-rise jean before.

just a quick update on my search. i finally settled on a pair of LVC 55' 501s. they have a higher rise then the diors. moreover, i've only recently realized how silly i look in dior 19s (i am of average build, not skinny) - they 55's are also a lot looser in the thighs and legs...feel and look a lot more comfortable!
