>Do you have any particular brand or even ID that you like when it comes to pants?

Absolutely. I love vintage Ralph Lauren chinos.i buy as much as possible second hand (for ethical and practical reasons), primarily though ebay. When you search for men's pants , search through the pants category for Ralph Lauren, set condition to pre owned, vintage to "yes" and rise to high. These search parameters are under the filter heading. Now, ebay's search is clunky and people when they post don't always tag everything properly. So you can have a pair of high rise pants but they might not tag them as high rise so you have to run a second search where you set the rise to "not specified" and then wade through the other listings. If you set it up that way you'll get vintage Ralph Lauren chinos that have a high rise and frankly just have a nicer, higher quality. And the prices are normally great, see pic related. The pants I'll wear tomorrow cost $15 before tax and shipping. They're from the early 90s and they're in great shape.


You should run this search through multiple brands with the same parameters. Land End, LL Bean, Brooks Brothers, Hilfiger , etc. Basically any brand that was good pre 2000 and sort of shit today. You'll find what you're looking for.

One piece of advice: Know your measurements before hand. Spend a few bucks, go to a tailor and have them measure your real waist, the inseam, your thigh,etc. Makes buying on eBay nearly risk free. Only buy from sellers with the full measurements provided, preferably shown in photos. If you do this you won't run the risk of buying shit that doesn't fit.
