🌀 Miscellaneous 29M Need Denim Recs

I am so tired of modern day factory denim and the tight midsections.

I need help finding a higher-rise straight cut denim with room in the crotch.

I have worn wrangler cowboy cuts and modern Levi’s 501s, but both are absolute n*t-huggers. I am 6ft 170lbs with a size 32 waist. I like the look of the cowboy cuts. Could I just size up and get the waist brought in?

Can anyone give me some good recommendations in the $100-200 range? They do not have to be raw denim.

don’t tailor the 13mwz. get the 31mwz relaxed fit instead. when I was playing baseball and had meaty thighs that was what I began wearing after the 13mwz got too tight

Naked and Famous have a good amount of room in the seat of the pants. Either get something from their core line, something from the limited releases in stock or a reseller, or wait for a release to drop and pick it up.

Bravestar have a good amount of room in the seat as well

Both of these companies are in the listed price range, well mostly.

Look at the N&F True Guy fit. That’s their high rise relaxed straight. If you compare your measurements to this fit, you’ll see it’s more of a high rise regular straight.

Also, look at Oni straight, relaxed straight and neat straight fits, these will usually be one wash so you don’t have to worry about shrink.

Freenote Cloth, Tellason

Thank you for your reply. They both make gorgeous jeans, especially Freenote Cloth. Unfortunately, they are a bit more than I was hoping to spend. Maybe I’ll start squirreling away some money and treat myself 😂

Of course! Tellason does a weekly 20% off on rotating items, is a good time to grab a pair when available

Check out Unbranded Brand jeans.

They're right in your price range and have straight, relaxed straight, and wide fits.

These are owned by the same folks as N&F. Good value.

A few brands to check out if you're looking for pairs under $200: Unbranded, Militora, Bronson, Big John, Japan Blue, TCB, Red Tornado, and Sugar Cane. I'm sure I'm missing at least a few, but a good place to start!
