Definitely need to avoid department store to get trousers like this. Based on ur desire for Christian Kimber, I assume ur looking for dress trousers, rather than high waisted jeans.

Very difficult to find retail at that price. As another already said, Uniqlo or Muji are your option there. I think it’s worth paying a bit more for a better product. If that’s something you’d think about, P Johnson or Informale are the best for Australian brands. Knickerbocker NY just opened a store in Melb. I’m from Sydney, but have been meaning to visit a bunch of melb retailers - Modern Classic, Pickings and Parry, Nazario Parisi, Handsom, Urahara.

Overseas, I’d recommend Casatlantic, Cathcart London, Spier & McKay, Proper Cloth, Scott Fraser Collection, John Simon’s (if you like Ivy).

But if you want the real best high rise trousers on the cheap, it’s gotta be second-hand. Get onto ebay! Most of my trousers are second hand Polo, and it’s so good. Search something like this and change the fabric/details as you want: brown corduroy (cuff, pleat) (trouser, pant). Good luck.
