Thanks, that's enough for me. 12 cm difference between front and back rise is very slim. Around 15 cm seems to be the stanard for high rise trousers, 17cm is pretty relaxed.

I think it depends on crotch space as well. I have a pair of Suitsupply MTM trousers with a 13 cm difference but increased crotch space and it fits good.

Interesting, that could be true although I can't myself picture how would that work helping me with a wedgie.

Edit:
I checked out these trousers:
and they have only 12 cm difference. Well, I'm stumped.

This article by Simon Crompton from this weekend aligns well with the thoughts I expressed about Berg & Berg's sales philosphy a couple of pages ago. Especially this paragraph:

"The reason to avoid going on sale too often, with too much stock, or too deep, is that customers will start to just wait for the sale. If the thing they want is always in the sale - and so they never miss out on it by waiting - why would they do anything else? They also start to think of the value of the product as being that discounted price."

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
