Shrinking rise on BB Fitzgerald suits?

I have several Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald suits in 38R purchased over the last 2 years. I just ordered a couple more from the website and after trying them on, I find the rise to be way too short if the pants are sitting at my natural waist. Is BB selling low-rise suits now? I measured the zipper and it's only 5.5 inches on the new suits, a full 7.0 inches on my previous suits.

I know the tailor can let the rise out a bit but this is too much of an adjustment to trust them with. I'm returning the suits. Are there any other options for slim fitting suits that have a traditional rise?
