I am 190cm tall with an athletic build and usually wear more dressed-up clothing such ass odd trousers, sports coats, knitted vests et cetera. I always buy my trousers made-to-measure or bespoke due to the lack of high-waisted, fuller-cut trousers in the ready-to-wear market.
However, on the weekends, I would like to wear more casual trousers with knitwear, sports shirts, polos and the like. I really like the aesthetic of Japanese casualwear, Bryceland's, milsurp and the like, and would like to wear something similar. Think fatigues or cargos with denim shirts, high-waisted jeans with toweling polos, Rubato knitwear with 1940's army chinos etc. Having a high waist and full-cut legs/hips is essential for me.
The problem is, those kind of casual trousers don't really exist for us longer-legged men! Every Japanese brand seems to make trousers in a one-length-fits-all option that is catastrophic for my build. Orslow seems to think that 79-80cm is enough of an inseam for everybody. For Warehouse, it's usually even shorter, and ditto for Belafonte, Full Count, Brut Clothing, Soundman, Real Mccoys etc. I really need at least 84cm for the inseam length, usually more if it's a shrinking fabric as is usually the case.
So far, I've only found longer options from Casatlantic, Stan Ray and cheaper denim brands. As for Casatlantic, their Tanger cut is okay, but the others don't really fit me well – and they don't have too many styles. 34-length Stan Ray fatigues aren't really sold here in Europe, and moreover I find the material really lacking compared to, say, the Orslow fatigues. Levi's, Lee etc. do sell 34-length denim, but they never have the styling I am after (high rise of 33-35cm, full cut in the hip and length) and the fabric is usually lacking. Military surplus or vintage usually offer very short styles as well.
Does anyone have any brand suggestions for higher-end casual trousers with longer inseams and the styling described above? Preferably available in Europe.
