Other suggestions on durable slim fit jeans under about 50 bucks are welcome.

I am a 31 waist and all i see are 10+" in jeans like iron Heart, Nudie, N&F. ect.

Now I do see plenty of lowrise with a rise of about 8' in True Religion, Abercrombie ect. Just can't find a good cut in the quality jeans as all seem to have front rise from 9.5"-10.5" and cuts like a Levis 501 jean. Both of which I can't stand.

The thing is that some fraying has appeared in the honeycombs which was not there before. I washed the jeans alone in 30 degrees (Celsius, obviously) water, inside out.

 

What did I do wrong?

Question: Should I just wear and wait for these creases to 'melt away' - or should I somehow iron or otherwise get rid of them before wearing?

The downside: I have repurpose the pair I’ve been using at home—where I’m constantly down on the floor with kids, hence the crack issue—for occasions where I will essentially only be standing. These are an old pair of Levi's Hesher. The upside: I get to buy some new jeans. Doesn’t have to be excessively high waisted, well at least not what I consider so, some on here will probably differ on what excessively high rise is. Think 501 type rise, but not low rise.
- Straight or potentially slim straight fit. But no skinnier. I generally find that on many jeans, especially those that veer a little skinnier, it’s often too loose at the waist relative to the thighs.
- Non-redline selvage. Green/Purple/Orange etc. would be fine. Because. Well, just because why not.
- Zip fly preferred, though this is the point I'm most willing to bail on.

Any advice much appreciated.

Maybe Imperial Shearers. Not sure about the fly on that one.
