Looking for slubby jeans with a rise above 12 inched
Found them in a different store, apparently they're a very limited stock and pretty much sold out everywhere. There's only one in my size left. Going to grab them, thank you.

Looking for slubby jeans with a rise above 12 inched
Interesting, the PBJ straight fit looks promising texture wise but there's some interesting variations in the reported rise measurements.
SelfEdge lists the rise for the one wash at 11 inches:

Okayama lists the one wash rise at 12 inches
https://www.okayamadenim.com/collections/pure-blue-japan/products/pure-blue-japan-pbe-003-regular-straight?variant=49620332871976
Hinoya lists it as 29.5 cm so about 11.5

I've ordered from all three stores before and their measurements have been spot on for the jeans they've sold me, I'm wondering where the discrepancy comes in.

Black Shoe Battle: Derbies vs Longwings
Used Florsheim longwings are absolutely god tier. For me, I get way more use out of my black wingtips than my solid black shoes.

what loafers would best suit my needs?
I'm a big fan of Allen Edmonds loafers, the Randolph model fits my foot perfectly. Added bonus of them being plentiful on eBay so if you're down with buying second hand you can easily get a pair of suede and a leather pair for less than the price of a new pair.
If you can find an older miUSA pair of Florsheim loafers, they're fantastic quality too.
I'm not sure what your budget is but Grant Stone makes fantastic shoes, especially for the price. Alden, Meermin, Velesca, Allen Edmonds, Sebago, and Rancourt are all good choices

Which of those 3 overshirts look best?
Avoid anything made with polyester if you can. 1 would go with an olive chino quite well

Cowboy Boots, vintage/new what brands should I be looking at?
If you're buying second hand, miUSA Justin boots are good. Lucchese is great, Dan Post is good, a good value for your money and petty common on eBay. I've owned quite a few brands over the years, Lucchese and Dan Post fit me the best.
Also heads up, most boot brands run 1/2 size large. So if you're a 12, get an 11.5

Thoughts on sweaters/outfits like this?
Are you trying to make that style look more feminine? Because it's harder to do with workwear but if you change the silhouette, maybe make the sweater oversized, have slim jeans and a more narrow and pointy boot it might make a difference

Thoughts on sweaters/outfits like this?
To me, no matter what your build is I'd say that is a style that presents as masculine. Maybe because it's "workwear". That style of sweater was originally worn by fishermen to stay warm, jeans started as workwear, boots could go either way but they still look masculine to me.

Need advice on colors for Pants and Suede Jacket
Brown would be my pick for most versatile color for that jacket, the olive is a little washed out.
Regarding the pants, if you're dead set on that specific model I'd go for Dark Indigo, Brass or Nutmeg.

Trying to find new jeans
That's awesome! My Wranglers are 13, I've got a pair of Lee jeans from the 80s that are 13.5, had a custom pair made with a 14 inch rise. I've got a long torso and need the higher rise.

Trying to find new jeans
If you want a looser leg and more space at the top you can try Levi's 550 and 559 in most stores.
But if the price for Unbranded are close, I'd go for the Unbranded. Levi's quality has gone to utter shit lately, after multiple bad experiences I will never buy another pair of modern Levi's again unless they change dramatically

Really? For a 36 the 505s range from an 11.5-12 inch rise, if Polo jeans are higher I'll take a look at them

Trying to find new jeans
I'm going to disagree with that and say there's a reason pants have belt loops but I get your point.
The 505 look better to me. I own Wrangler Cowboy Cut slim and straight. The rise is higher than Levi's which I like, but keep that in mind
