Heavily tapered denim- suggestions?

[bruns]

So I've got 6 weeks or so left for my 90-day no spend, and have decided this year that it'd be a good idea to curb my overall spending.
With this in mind, I thought I'd pick up just one pair of jeans. The thing is, I normally have to compromise on something (cost, quality, fit) and didn't really want to do it again.

My main issue is that I can't find the perfect fit for me. The best fitting pair I have 546's but in an ideal world I'd want a slightly stronger taper (to around a 7 inch hem on a 32-33 inch waist) while maintaining/having slightly larger thighs.

Any ideas? I know Oni does a more tapered fit but the hem would be too small. Plus, I'd want to try out another brand.

Money isn't too big an issue as I just want one pair for the whole year- but in an ideal world something in between 16oz and 21oz (would be great to wear them in the summer).

Thanks!

If you are paying big money for a pair of jeans, I don't know if you would then like to get them altered, but I had very good luck with a local denim repairer/alterer who did a knee to cuff taper on a old pair of tellasons for me.   I don't think he had to re-chainstitch the hem.  Anyway, just a thought if you were able to find the perfect pair but it didn't have an adequate taper.   Alternatively, if you wanted to wait, someone like Ciano could do more of a custom job.

check out Indigogene's stuff. I accidentally bought their 16.5oz orange id in the slim taper and they're easily the tightest jeans I own. the hem comes out to about 7.25" which is narrower than I like.

Custom pattern for any of Ciano's jeans (minus the 23 oz etc ) should run you $200 or less. His construction is better than most, and they'll fit you better than any denim.
