I have a pair of Samurai Jeans Chinos which I absolutely love. I'd like something like those, but with a higher rise to make them higher-waisted and with similar hem width. These trousers would be paired with blazers as well casual fits reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s - short or tucked in sweaters, tucked in shirts and jackets that end near the waist of these trousers.

Something with:
  • Waist 30in/76cm
  • Front rise (at least) 12in/30.5cm
  • Inseam 32in/82cm
  • Hem opening (flat) 8.5in/22cm - 9in/23cm
I am open to the fabric - cotton/linen combos, whipcord, cavalry twill would all be fine.

I have completely struck out. I am thinking about having a bespoke pair made.

Before I go down the bespoke road, I thought I'd ask here.

TIA

Just found the the Wide-leg Trousers from Scott Fraser. These might be what I was looking for in a cotton fabric.
