Recs for japanese selvedge denim jeans in a high waisted straight cut
Hey,
I'd like some brand and specific model recommendations for high waisted straight cut jeans.
I'd like them to be a dark indigo blue, kind of a looser fit straight cut if that makes sense, but I wouldn't like it to be wide wide like current trends (I have lots of other wide pants).
I'd like them to be high waisted so that I can wear them with military repros like the buzz rickson ma-1 and other cropped jackets and I just like high waisted better.
I'm fine with either unsanforized or one wash denim, but in case of unsanforized I'd like some sizing advice too.
Price isn't super important, I can just save up, but it doesn't have to be expensive. Let's say around 500 eur max, but it's not a hard upper limit and I'd gladly get something cool for like 200 eur too if that makes more sense.
I'm located in Europe, so anything that's available here without vat and taxes would be a huge plus, but I'll be going to Japan at the end of the year. Wish UK retailers still fit this description, it would've made things easier.
I don't have experience with raw or high quality selvedge denim, only had levis before. These would be my only pair of jeans.
I tried to do some research before and came up with brands like Warehouse & co, Sugar Cane, Momotaro and Oni, but I have a hard time with the models and europe availability.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and tell me if I missed some info that'd be helpful.
