The Wrong Trousers

Please help me find more of these men's trousers (or something better)! Google does not help.

For the umpteenth time, I've paid shipping for the WRONG TROUSERS. Doesn't matter that they're both "flat front" "iconic" and "classic fit," the Docker's with the red-trimmed white lining inside the waistband are game, the others are lame.

These are still being made, but the Docker's locator could only find them at this one source (Beall's Florida), and of course they're only in 32x32, when a 33" or 34" inseam would really be ideal. (This model shrinks a little.) The style number for these is 407580005.

The others are quite similar, made in corduroy, same red-trimmed white interior waistband, style number is 407580039. Docker's says they are no longer being manufactured. (32" inseam is OK for these as they don't shrink.)

It's so frustrating. Very hard to find acceptable women's clothing in anything higher than single-digit sizes, JUST the reverse for men. Mr. C has a nice physique and does not need pleats (the horror), "comfort" waistbands or any of that other nonsense. He's pretty conservative in his brand names and I'm loathe to buy him anything too designerey that he won't wear (but won't want to return).

Please help me find these trousers, or something with similar flattering fit! Many thanks.

The Dickies Premium Cotton Flat-Front Pants don't work for him? Because I always thought the Dockers flat-front twills were just a rip-off of the Dickies original.

If length is the main consideration, that Beall's link in the OP offers the 34 length in a 34 waist. Could you order that and then have the waist taken in?

Plugging the style number into Amazon gave me these. The name of the pants is different, but the description/look appears to be the same.
