Because my hips are not level, if I have to wear pants (i.e. when I can't wear a kilt!), I'd prefer to wear fitted pants like the ones you describe. They're incredibly hard to find, though. The only pants I've seen that are made to wear at the waist are military surplus models and reproduction 1800s style clothing. I really like the look of 1870s style pants worn with suspenders and a linen shirt. Sadly, with modern "fashion" being what it is, this is seen by most people as being as 'kooky' as wearing a kilt. People think it's a costume. It just happens to be a costume that goes over easier here in my area of Texas.
Maybe we should both learn to sew. It really annoys me that it so hard to find trousers that actually fit to your waist.
