I usually have to buy vintage pants on Etsy or in thrift stores to get a proper higher rise in the style/colours I like, but I have a friend who buys new ones from Red Kap.This isn't a shoe question but thought I'd ask you well-turned-out gents if you wear or know of a maker of a high rise trouser? It seems more logical and ultimately more comfortable but I'm trying to gauge that with pants that don't have enough rise at the moment. Thanks.

Depending on who you ask they are, though fashion these days seems a bit more random than in the past so it's hard to say for sure. Regardless I'm 23 and most of my pants are pleated, but I almost exclusively wear vintage clothes (hence my username).Are pleated pants making a come back? My high school uniform pants in the 90s were required to be pleated. White or blue dress shirt. Black dress shoes.
Now the students wear cargo khakis. Casual style tops that have school emblem. Any footwear is fine. How times have changed.

In my opinion I think the key to pulling off pleated pants now is to make sure the pleats aren't too deep/poofy which can make the pants look ill-fitting and baggy. Trimmer more streamlined pleats along the lines of what someone would wear in a classic 1940s Hollywood movie have
I teach at the high school I graduated from. When I was a student a decade ago, we had a dress code that required a solid color collared shirt tucked in to a pair of slacks or chinos in black, navy, gray, or tan. Solid black or brown shoes only. A well-dressed friend of mine, who went on to become a lawyer, once got a detention for wearing an argyle sweater (not a solid color). The dress code has since been removed, and the norm is sweatpants or pajama pants and Crocs or slides/sandals. Times have changed indeed.
As for pleated pants, I'm not sure. I don't see them too often. I find myself wearing pleats more often now, as I enjoy the relaxed fit they usually have.
I put on some Glenn Miller and got to cleaning these. I hope that '1944' is the production date. Here's my case.

One of the most commonly seen features on United States Military Equipment and Clothing is a DA, DSA, DLA, or SPO Contract Number stamp. The first was DA, which stands for Defense Agency. It ran from 1953 to 1961. If your item has a Manufacture’s Stamp only – it was made prior to the beginning of the Korean War. DA stamped items range from the Korean War to very early Vietnam War. Look for a two digit number, typically near the end of the code (it will range from 53 to 61) for the exact year of manufacture of your item.
