My first thought was that this is from the Armoury FW lookbook.

Letiquette made a pair of high waisted APCs that have me considering actually breaking in a pair of raw denim again. I still have a pair of new standards that I broke in back in like 2008 that I can’t wear with any shirt that has to be tucked in due to the crazy low rise. The funniest thing about those jeans is when I bought them after the early aught boot cut years, they felt insanely skin tight slim and by the skinny jean era in 2013 they seemed as big as JNCOs and now they’ve come back around and feel pretty middle of the road (low rise notwithstanding)

I suppose it’s a bit relative as with my impression of how slim jeans look/feel: what felt like “normal” rise 10 years ago feels really low in the current era where higher rises are on trend. I remember when the movie “Her” came out a people thought Joaquin Phoenix’s characters high-rise pants looked ridiculous but now they look like something I would wear.I'm curious what you consider a crazy low rise. Proportionally you can get away with a low rise on slim/skinny denim.
The coat looks like a straighter silhouette, which is more in line with my sports coats, and still seems to work with the pants.

My Ralph chinos are still en route, but this gives me some more ideas. I normally wear my SC's closed, but this might look better if I wear them open. I hope the rise isn't too low though.
Yeah. Someone recommended Ralph Lauren's "Andrew" Chino to me, and it appears to have basically the same silhouette as what we've posted about, including J. Crew's giant chino.You picked up some Ralph chinos?
Still figuring out the straight silhouette myself. It seems the options are either sack suit or suppressed waist in what I've been looking at. Incidentally, I have recently come into possession of one sack-fit and one suppressed-waist sport coat, both of which I have yet to integrate into my wardrobe.
mid-COVID I realized what I wanted was Polo RL chinos in a straight leg fit (what they call "classic") with a full break. I bought a pair on ebay and after evaluation, grabbed a bunch more (either used or new oldstock) in various colors. pretty happy with the fit. here's a photo from last year
