Bonobos Premium Stretch Denim Jeans vs Warehouse Lot 900XX Slim Tapered Fit Jeans

u/thehang was super helpful and responded in like 45 minutes! He told me the stretchy jeans I'm measuring obviously arent the best. I asked if a 29 would work but he suggested a 30, especially to be safe. As the jeans don't expand much, if at all, in the thighs. I usually wear a 29 in most jeans (with room in the waist) so I figured 29 might work again

I bought a size 34 whereas in "normal" jeans I usually have either a 32. After some wear, the waist stretched out about a size, so it fits slightly too loose for me. I remember trying on a Warehouse & Co 900xx, which fitted me perfect (also 34), but I opted for the 800xx as I prefer a higher rise. Now, I want to purchase a tapered pair with a high rise
