Recommendations for High Waisted light wash jeans?
Hello,
Trying to find some high waisted light wash jeans. Looking for a rise 12-13.5 inches (higher the better) in a 31/32 true waist. Price range is up to 300 but lower and higher priced recommendations are welcome!
Thank you!

Check Levi’s 619 on eBay. Idk if they hit that rise for your size, but I’m not sure there’s anything out there that does.
Looks like that would only get to about 11.5"

You have to go up a size on the old Levi’s so he’d need closer to a 34 which is 12” https://www.ebay.com/itm/125932310802?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=N3TR5VqiQki&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dK2RxMh1Qei&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Puma you may want to consider going mtm with luxire. It’ll take a couple shots to get the fit right, but you should still be below 300 (I think it’s 100 for their basic selvedge and I’m not sure if they charge extra to do a stone wash).
You and me both bro!
I have a pair of Levi's silver tabs with which I can sort of approximate this look but it involves cinching the waistband a fair bit which is sub optimal. I also found out about Dickie's Madison jeans which come in a super light wash but after trying some on it looks like you might have to size down 1 or 2 waist sizes to get the high waisted fit and if you're a 30w like me this limits you to 30L which sucks. If you have a larger waist or shorter legs it might be worth a look though!
I'm actually going on a little jeans quest in search of this kind of thing after work today so I'll let you know if I find anything.
How baggy, and do they need to be denim nerd quality?
send this guy an offer, rise on these should be like 12-12.5":

Also on the hunt for basically the exact same jeans. There are some great looking raws that could fit but I think I'm over dealing with raw denim
I’m still team 501xx as the 🐐. You can find them for ~$50 on eBay all day long.
So I got the Veck Jeans from this cheap british brand called Olive on @sharloy's rec and they got a nice high rise if you want baggy af jeans. Sizing pretty rough tho.

EU stan ray, 13.25 in rise on my 34 taper pants (tho check end or somewhere that does that and previous seasons will have lighter washes) https://www.stanray.com/products/wide-5-vintage-stonewash-denim-fw23
Stan Ray
Wide 5 (Vintage Stonewash Denim)
The wide 5 features all the best bits from the taper and straight just a whole lot bigger. Wider seat, thigh and slightly tapered leg give this a late 90s feel. Available here in vintage stonewash denim. Tapered-leg Zip-fly Riveted front pockets Bar-tacked stress points Triple needle back yoke two tonal stitching Sta
I actually own both the two above and both are great
If you want to see the fits of each brand on me
I realize this is the exact same fit lmao
But left is olive right is Stan ray
Consider the Levi's women's ribcage straight fit! Just tried them on and they're actually pretty good. Size down 2 though.
Have you written a vintage Levi's/denim guide at all?
I don’t know a ton about them - just the two cuts I like.
with a price range like that, i'd just go with Luxire

I have late 90s release 550s with a 13 inch rise. They’re out there.
@pumaturtle I think Berg Berg still has a pair of 30x34 washed denim in their Arthuro fit that's on sale. The measurements look like they're a 32" waist and you could get them hemmed.
Those are perfect but looks like they got sold out 😔
Whoops! They were in stock earlier this week but I should have checked
