I say cord it up! Also that shoe makes me want corduroy pants where the wales go sideways on the legs rather than vertically. For a kind of corrugated tube effect, like robot legs. I need this.

Corduroy suits are great! The hat was a vintage one I got on Ebay--there are oceans of them out there.

(Just realized you mentioned up to $350--this is definitely not in that tier lol)

camera strap?
This is the one I have if you want something quick and inexpensive--it has worked great for me--but I second the idea of looking for something vintage as well:

Okay I understand! I just thought maybe the smallest varied or something. It's not just you guys that I see it with. 🙂

Why is it that brands like Wythe sometimes will provide measurements for all sizes except small, even though they offer small?

Advice on buying vintage Levis 550s?
I just realized this says 550s, not 505s. All of the above should still apply though, I think

Advice on buying vintage Levis 550s?
Look for "Made In the USA" on the patch on the back or the internal tag and that should mean they are old enough to be the 90s style you're looking for. I add "USA" to my search terms to get them. You can also look up other ways to date more specifically--they have a date code on the tags, and the tags themselves changed over time--but you don't have to. For sizing, they will have most likely shrunk 1-3 sizes, so always make sure they either show physical measurements (ruler/tape against the waist and the inseam) or list them in the description. Measure the waist and inseam of a pair of pants you have that fit you well for comparison--don't assume the size number you're used to buying is accurate.

Brands for Jeans/Pants
Spier and Mackay high rise chinos are only $68, are available in slim fit (though I would recommend contemporary), and they will hem them to your length for free with your order. They're not really HIGH rise (only 11.5") but they're decent for something inexpensive and readily available.
For jeans, I am a recent convert to vintage Levis, and since they shrink over time a lot of them are available on Ebay in smaller sizes with 29/28" inseams from what I've seen, so maybe something to consider. Just make sure you see actual physical measurements (measure pants you have and like and compare) and don't go by the tagged size.
