High Waisted Pants

No, no, no... New Old Stock Vintage...

If you really want them and you're resourceful, you can definitely find them.
I remember when I was living in London, all the Army surplus shops and weekend stalls had a lot of old gear,'40s-'50s NOS but I wasn't that interested at the time. These Swedish pants cost me $12 off eBay from the 'States and I live in DK... stupid but I can't find them here.
If you want a nice pair, or two of vintage cut trousers, you could do worse than get the '50s vintage US Army wool field trousers, they're wide legged high-ish waisted, wool, available in large sizes and they're NOS! for cheap. They were an upgrade from the WW2 wool trousers and are pretty much the same cut but made to be useable as overtrousers- they have side waist-adjusters, which you can remove. They're mainly wool blend- 80/20 wool nylon I believe. They're a smoother wool serge than wartime, washable and more of a civilian shade of OD, they don't look absolutely military.
They have a good straight, wide leg and a zip fly and they fit OK.

...$4.99- Buy it Now for $6.99- that's a cheap pair of vintage trou'.
If you like green. I do. It's a livable green and looks nice with a brown leather jacket and/or hat and brown shoes. Don't like green? dye them-
There seems to be an inexaustable supply of these pants.

...just something...

New Old Stock...

Like- old vintage stock that's brand, spanking new, previously unsold- Deadstock.

My opinion, being quite overweight myself, is that the trouser waist should worn be at the point where one does not obviously bulge above, nor below the beltline. That usually means just above the navel. In other words neither high nor low rise. Suspenders help with a jacket, without a jacket suspenders tend to make one look partially undressed. As I said that is 'my opinion'.

I guess part of the fit-formula is surely that the crotch is where it should be-

What about real sized men?

Do you know a regular source? These are nice but size 32 would bring about The Bob Dole Trouble.

Here you go- same manufacturer/vendor- I just thought the eBay ones might go cheaper-
