I hate it but I've been unable to find pants with a sensible raise (even at supposedly stodgy places like brooks bros and jos bank)
One exception are the Epaulet pants, which have a nice 12.5" rise, but unfortunately the overall cut is terrible - they are clearly meant to be worn by anorexic hipsters, rather than average guys (I'm not a single pound overweight or disproportionate in any way, yet their pants are just tight and uncomfortable). Please suggest alternatives Thank you

Have you tried to size up in the Walt's? Ie, if you are a 32 buy the 34?

I have an athletes body and I found sizing up in the Walts and then having them taken in works fine.

Your quads are over 24'?

I'll probably give it a try sizing up the Walts since these are overall okay pants, it's jst kind of sad that for all the purported renaissance in mens clothing, overwhelming majority of choices are stuck in a particuular paradigm that has some major issues . I have to admit that the Epaulets look pretty decent - as long as you don't move at all. Once you do, you start to feel constricted in a way that shouldn't be an issue in quality clothing. (And again - I don't have overly huge thighs,butt, or you know what , so that's not an issue of non-standard build)

I have decent size legs and a prominent seat, tied to a 32' waist. I'm not a bodybuilder, but years of squats and running for sports built up my legs quit a bit (for my size anyway). If your quads are not over 23' your problem should be solved by going up 2 sizes and seeing a competent tailor. The end result produces a nice fit with the highest rise you will find RTW.

There are only a couple Rudy options.

I have muscular legs and a prominent seat, but a somewhat slender frame if that makes sense. At any rate, if your quads are 23' or under, the walts will work fine by sizing up. I wear a 32 waist, sized up to a 34, and had my tailor make adjustments. The end result was exactly what I was after: a slim fit trouser with a high rise.

I would look into having a tailor create some trousers for you.  It might be the only way to get what you are after. The walts are going to be to small for your quads.
