Similar fits to the JCrew Giant fit Chinos?

Mainly looking to replace slimmer fits like 107's and slim fatigues with proportions on the other end of the spectrum. I'm looking at Casatlantic and EG but would appreciate other suggestions, especially if they are in the current sales.

Jeans to wear with tailoring.

My increasingly knackered 105’s have a little too much character to wear with tailoring. I’m considering another pair of 105’s , SFC Jeans or outside pitch some kapital century #5s. I want a higher waist, not tapered but proportions that make sense with tailoring. Im not looking for anything too “clean” but don’t want them to look incongruous with a tailored jacket. Appreciate any suggestions!
