Quick answer: The Denim High Waisted Flap Side Pocket Cargo Jeans are $34.99 in five colors and sizes XXS to XL. The listing puts the rise at 25–27cm from the crotch seam — three to four centimeters above most navels — so this guide is about sizing that rise correctly before you order.
High-waisted denim gets returned for one reason more than any other: the rise landing somewhere the buyer did not expect. This listing is unusually specific about where its waistband sits, so instead of guessing, you can measure. Here is how, plus everything else the listing commits to. Since January 1, 2026 this pair has logged 25 units across 11 real orders.
How high is high-waisted, exactly
Per the listing, the waistband sits approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — for most people, 3–4cm above the navel. That placement is the entire proposition: it elongates the visible leg line and stays in place through movement, rather than sliding down and folding over the way a mid-rise can when it is worn high. Grab a tape measure and check that distance against a pair you already own before ordering; it takes thirty seconds and settles the question.
The short-torso caveat the listing itself makes
Credit where due: the listing warns its own buyers that if you have a short torso, the waistband may land closer to the bra line, which can feel uncomfortable when seated for long periods. That is not a flaw so much as geometry, but it is the kind of sentence most product pages delete. If your crotch-to-navel measurement runs short, consider a mid-rise style like the Cargo Jeans Flap Pocket instead.
Size to your hip, not your waist
The listing’s sizing method: size to your hip measurement first, then consider the rise. If the waistband ends up with a little extra room, a belt fixes it cleanly. What it warns against is the reverse trade — going down a size to get a tighter waistband at the expense of hip room, which it calls the wrong trade. Six sizes are offered: XXS, XS, S, M, L, and XL.
Denim weight and break-in
Like our other cargo denim, this pair runs 10–12oz: structured enough to hold shape through a full day, breaking in substantially after the first 2–3 washes and a week of wear. Care follows standard denim rules from the listing — wash inside-out in cold water, skip fabric softener (it accelerates fade), and avoid high-heat machine drying, which can shrink the inseam by up to 2cm per cycle.
Colours
Five options on the live selector: Brown, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Black, and Blue. The product photos feature the Brown — a warm chocolate tone photographed against gray plaster — and the remaining four cover the classic denim spectrum. The listing’s styling advice for the darker options: tucked-in blouse or fitted knit, clean leather shoes, everything above the waist kept close-fitting so the pockets stay the visual interest.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the waistband actually sit?
Approximately 25 to 27cm from the crotch seam, per the listing, which lands 3 to 4cm above the navel for most people. Measure that distance on a pair you own to preview the placement.
I have a short torso. Should I order these?
The listing itself cautions that on a short torso the waistband may land closer to the bra line and can feel uncomfortable when seated for long periods. If that describes you, a mid-rise cargo style is likely the better pick.
Should I size down for a tighter waist?
No. The listing calls that the wrong trade. Size to your hip and thigh first; if the waistband has a little extra room, a belt fixes it cleanly without sacrificing hip fit.
What colours and sizes are available?
Five colours: Brown, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Black, and Blue, in sizes XXS through XL at $34.99.
Do they loosen up over time?
The 10 to 12oz denim breaks in substantially after the first two to three washes and a week of wear. Denim without elastane also relaxes slightly at the waist during a day of wear and tightens back after washing.
