What highr end jeans makes the lowe rise 8"?

I am a 31" waist with big thighs.

 

I see a lot of 9 and 10" low rise and a ton of 10.5-11". But I can't find a high denim with a low rise around 8-8.5" in a 31 waist unless it is a skinny guy fit.

 

Any suggestions on what brand i need to look at?

 

No skinny jeans. My legs are big and i have a super small waist (comparativly). So I am looking for something with a low rise and more standard leg size. So far Abercrombie is all I have found to match these criteria. I am just shocked that all these high end compamies either cater to skinny or super high front rise jeans.

No low-rise jeans?

 

 

Any high end heavy oz denim low rise jeans being made? I don't see them in the known makes like Iron heart, Naked and famous, Nudie ect. 

 

Or do the better cuts just exist on the fashion designer labels like True Religion, RRL , Abercrombie ect ?

Thanks so much. I am looking for a pair of these now in 30-31 waist.

 

It is just odd to me that there are hardly any low rise heavy denim jeans avalaible.

Yes, 8 is the number he typed.
Yes, he appears to be serious.
One presumes he understands the proportional meanings of numbers up to 10.
Perhaps he is "small" -- take him out to dinner first why don't you.
Maybe he would rather ask a forum full of men about finding men's jeans than wear women's jeans.

Do you feel better now?

You're not going to get a 8" rise on a 31" waist jean unless you buy a woman's jean.
The closest i think you'll come is these, the rise will shrink to 8.5" on a 31:

I wear a size 26 in the Somet 003. I also like the size 26 in Naked & Famous "Slim Girl" (Women's) jeans. ... The N&F "Slim Girl" jeans themselves are genderless ... no luscious ass pocket bedazzling or anything ... Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to find a retailer who's got them ... Everyone carries N&F for men but not for women ... .... ... I too like a low rise, as I find anything with a rise greater than 8.5 ends up unflatteringly sagging sloggily below my at my non-existent ass ... However, there aren't as many selvedge options for women's jeans as there are for men and there aren't very men's jeans with such a low rise ... So you'll have to do some searching ... Best of luck in this endeavor.

Tanks for the reply. I am just surprised that so many of the well know jean makers make the low rise for men and built thier reputations on them and those are the highest selling jeans in America. yet the better quality denim/Japanese/selevedge jean makes make old fart pants styles. If i spend that much money i don't want to look like granpa just to say i got good quality jeans.

The Lee Gold Label 101s used to have an 8.75" rise, although I'm a little unsure of the direction(s) the Lee 101 line has taken. I've seen similar rises on Eurotrash D-Squared jeans.
