Anyone know of any good denim with a higher yoke? I guess I just want a pair with around an 8" rise and a yoke that doesn't make the pockets hang down the back of my legs. I want my pockets to be on ******.

Honestly... Girls jeans. This is the way women's jeans are typically cut.
I warn you though, the jeans are going to look pretty effeminate. An 8" rise is very low, and combined with a higher yoke... you may want to rethink this...

APCs, Dior, and Somet are probably the closest you are going to get without looking like a ****** hooker.

Wouldn't PBJ XX-005s also fit the bill, albeit without such an extremely low rise?

Yeah, an 8" rise is great if you want to show everyone your pubes.

Surely he's measuring differently...? Like to the bottom of the waistband... would make it over 9 at least?

No, I mean 8". I have 9" right now and they're fine. My pubes don't show, so don't worry. I know D&G used to make a 7" rise, but that was a few years ago.

I'll check out the APC hipsters. Thanks.

I still prefer 9-10" yokes.
