High-rise flat front trousers

Does anyone know where I can find high-rise, flat front trousers with side adjusters? Seems almost impossible outside of MTM, as high-rise trousers are generally pleated and flat front trousers are generally low-rise. Rather surprising as I really love the sleek look--pleats tend to add a lot of volume.

I have a couple pairs from Berg & Berg (Alfons fit) but they no longer make them.

Nvm, saw you also wanted adjusters. Maybe Cavour has something.

Eidos had a model called Sal (I believe) that has a super high rise, is flat fronted and has side adjusters. Problem is that the brand doesn't exist anymore. They do pop up on eBay from time to time.

No side adjusters, but O'Connells (the trad store based in Buffalo NY) has a whole line of flat front (as well as pleated) made-in-USA pants where you can choose regular or long rise. They also include brace buttons.

With Spier & Mackay off-the-rack, AFAIK, you can get high-rise dress trouser with pleats and side adjusters OR high-rise cotton flat front chinos with belt loops. But NOT high-rise, flat front, & side adjusters all together. However, you can custom order trousers from Spier, and I'm sure you can get high-rise flat front w side adjusters that way—which is much more expensive than OTR ofc.

Scott Fraser Collection, is the answer.
Or other vintage repro-brands. Would also recommend buying womens pants, if thats a possibility. You will usually find that sort of fit over there. Zara also had some nice high rise, flat front this summer.

Maybe check the S3 from Scavini, they are quite popular in France.
One of their models with adjusters has one pleat but it doesn't seem to add much volume.

Putting budget aside, I’ve fallen in love with Husbands pants.

I saw people finding and buying high-rise trousers with 0 or 1 pleat with side adjusters at Pini Parma.
