Looking for slubby jeans with a rise above 12 inched
I've recently gotten back into the raw denim game and purchased a few pairs that I absolutely love. Indigofera Kain, Ironheart 888, Sugarcane Okinawa and Oni Relaxed Straight Crushed Concrete. They all fit great, and they all have a rise that's 12 inches or greater. I'm good(for now) on denim with lots of nep, I'm looking for a slubby pair next.
I really love how these SDA jeans look, but the rise is a touch short at 11.5 inches for my size. I've got a long torso so a higher rise helps balance things out. Two questions:
1: Are there jeans with a comparable amount of slub and a 12 inch rise for a 34 inch waist?
2: Is a half inch lower rise even going to be noticeable? I have a tendency to overthink things so if it doesn't make a huge difference I may as well get the SDA.

How to do a modern take on 90's Armani suit tailoring
I want to try something a little different for a casual, going out outfit, not a work or professional fit but I have zero idea how to pull it off.
Basically I like the look of early 90s Armani suits, very flowy, loose, drapey etc. I don't want to just buy a vintage Armani suit and have it look dated or like a costume though. Is there a way to do a modern take on this Armani styling, and if so how would you go about doing it?

The reason I'm hesitant to just buy shit on my own is the way the shits fit flies in the face of what I normally look for: The shoulders are bigger and wider than the should be, the chest is loose to the point it looks like the model is wearing a couple sizes large than he should be, same with the waist. But somehow it still looks good IMHO

Fatigue/Baker pants in fabrics other than sateen?
I've been on a surplus kick lately, have a pair of green OG 107 pants from the 60s on the way in. I love Baker pants, I'd like to get a couple pairs with more texture. What would you recommend for fatigues in something like wool, moleskin, corduroy, etc?
