Alternatives to Dickies 873 that sit at the waist (UK)
Hi folks,
I'm looking for some slim or tapered chinos that have a similar silhouette as the Dickies 873, however that would sit at the waist, more like the classic 874.
No matter where I look, most slim/tapered chinos appear to sit closer to the hips, which I think looks a bit odd if you're wearing them at work with your shirt tucked in (as I would be).
I've looked at a fair few brands, and it seems the closest to my requirements might be the Uniqlo Smart Cotton Ankle Trouser, I actually already own a pair but the hem on them feels very short, so I think they look very odd with shoes, trainers being the only thing I feel comfortable in.
I wondered if anyone had any other suggestions in the sub-£100 range?

Beat me to it
They have a different relaxed chino and a pleated version as well
Oh those are nice, and I've heard good things about the brand. 8.5inch hem feels a little massive to me, I'm still quite attached to my slim silhouettes
Even their slim chinos have an 8.3inch hem
The Uniqlo chinos I have are 7.5 inches
As an aside, have you ever seen the CC selvedge? They look really nice but it's a fairly lightweight denim, 12.5oz I think?

Anything from these folks strike your fancy? They carry a lot of cool workwear stuff
Although a lot of it is more trendy wider cuts
It's good, 12.5 makes nice all year round weight IME.
Hiut Denim and HebTroCo are more expensive but nice too (both do very slim fits still too).
It's cool but I'm looking for something for the office, I'd probably be wearing with a tailored shirt most of the time and brown or black derbies so I'm not sure the wider, work wear style will fit
Oh nice, I might order a pair to try them in that case, I really like the brand ethos and been wanting to check out their stuff for a while
