High(er) rise chinos/trousers in the UK
I've gradually come to realise that I much prefer my trousers/pants to have a slightly higher rise. My favourites are my two pairs of Stan Ray fatigues and two pairs of vintage PRL corduroy trousers. Ideally, I'd like to find some chinos and/or wool trousers to expand my collection, but I haven't had much luck finding them in stores (I'm based in the UK). I normally wear a 32" waist and 34" inseam and ideally I'd find something under £100 (I've spotted some beautiful options from Drake's which are sadly out of reach). I'm not in a rush and am very happy to buy second hand. Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Have you heard of our lord and saviour Community Clothing
I have not, but these look great! Pleated chino is 🔥
Margaret Howell/MHL on eBay/vinted. You would be a size S but ask sellers for measurements. I’m in the UK too and there’s loads of listings for under £100 if you check regularly
Olderbest / Bronson MFG. might also have some if there's not something you like on Community Clothing
A little over budget but Casatlantic have some good ones: https://www.casatlantic.com/collections/all-trousers
Thanks all for the recommendations! I ordered a pair of chinos from Community Clothing but will keep an eye out on eBay for MHL/Casatlantic (the latter sadly has import duties if buying in the UK due to Brexit, pushing it a bit too far out of my budget). I liked the style of some of the things on Olderbest but it seems that generally they have shorter inseams than I need .
Does anyone have any recommendations particularly on the wool trouser front? I appreciate that these might end up being more expensive than cotton but I'm still interested
SEH Kelly make lovely wool trousers but their model is to make and sell stuff irregularly so they might not have any right now. Out of budget but very very nice for the money.
