When I wear it lower, I feel that the thigh waist ratio isn’t working great for my body type. I cannot wear the high tapered as high as I probably should. Small differences matter more than people would think, especially when it comes to proportions and ratios. I own the Ten High Tapered from them and I would like to attempt something of an analysis why this cut is something Tanuki needed to do: I spoke with a friend who said, the measurements don’t look that different from Tanuki’s high tapered. The shorter inseam (-4cm compared to the high tapered) is something that comes in handy for me as I don’t have the longest legs anyway. The thighs are roughly 2cm wider which adds a lot of mobility and comfort to this. I think I am pretty versed in most things Tanuki, so I will just go out on a limb and say this is a new cut! The rise is slightly lower than the high tapered (roughly a cm) but it’s the wide thighs that make all the difference. You know what, screw it, I am not even ashamed to say that :D The thing that might be interesting for some of you is the cut. It will sound like a fetish, but it’s hard to stop touching this fabric. It honestly looks like the the slubby yarns are having a fight or something. Not much to say about the fabric itself: most people who have handled this iteration of the secret denim will probably agree that this is something else. I tend to write too much so I will try to keep this short. I recently had a lengthy discussion about tapered vs high tapered cuts from Tanuki and when I went to Tanuki’s web shop, I found this pair that I have not seen announced anywhere.
