Jeans help
TL;DR: I'm looking for jeans with these stats that I would prefer out of a pair:
Less than $150 after discounts/sales
28" waist
Greater or equal to 10.5" front rise
~15" backrise, give or take an inch
22-24" around thigh
16"+ around leg opening
Hey all, I'm looking for some help with looking for some nice quality jeans. They're not going to be working jeans, just jeans that look and feel nice. I'm open to varying styles, I just don't want anything slim really since that's basically the only type of pant I have in my current wardrobe. I would prefer to not go over $150 per pair, after sales that are happening right not
My main concern comes from my body dimensions. I have a 28" waist, and brands I've looked at (unbranded/lucky/as well as one other that I forgot) seem to not have sizes that go down to a 28" waist measurement. Luckily, I only need a 30" inseam as well so I'm not looking for anything long and skinny. Most of the tag sizes will say 28 but the actual waist measurement in their guides is something like 30" or 31". Most of the pairs that I have currently either fit my waist and are tight around the thighs, or fit nicely around my thighs with like a 2-3" leeway in the waist. Any help?

Levis has 28" waist, but their measurements may have some vanity sizing.
Self Edge had a jean finder on their website where you enter measurements and they show you what they have. Maybe try there since you know what you want
Self edge is far outside of my budget being that all the results are like $320-360, and Levi's unfortunately doesn't have any that I like, namely the light-medium washes, in my size
HINOYA Online Store
Jeans (Selvedge)
HINOYA was established in 1949 in Ueno, Tokyo. We have been selling the American Casual wears since ever. Now we are handling many kinds of Japanese denim brands with a crystallisation of Japanese craft. You'll find what you are looking for.
My bad. I missed the budget in the OP
What about Uniqlo? They have 28" waist, and are surprisingly decent. I think they even have selvedge jeans for $100
Unbranded has 27" and 28" waist.
And a lot of different styles
150 is prob naked famous unbranded territory. Or ebay.
Definitely. And if you are put off by the silly pinup on the N&F patch, get a $5 seam ripper and remove it.
@jfarrell468 I checked out unbranded before and I couldn't seem to find any that had an actual 28" waist, just a tag that said 28 but the size chart was something else - I'll recheck
So rechecking unbranded, they do have 28" waist in skinny jeans specifically, which is the exact opposite of style I was looking for. A lot of their 27s and 28 tags actually are 29" or 30" waists. Which a 29" would be manageable, but I would prefer a jean that fits without having to have my belt tighter than I would otherwise
I've never had a nice fitting pair of jeans, so I'm really stuck on finally getting that one pair that fits me. Since that's always been my gripe with jeans is how they've never felt like they fit
Naked + Famous true guy might work at that price point? A few of the models come under $150 on sale, and all the dimensions fit your criteria except the waist (29” on the size 28)
Or buy vintage and get them tailored
This just showed up on r/frugalmalefashion for $140. They have 27-28" waist. Not sure about fit tho. https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/product/apc/blue-petit-jeans/13504981
