Wonderful selection Yuca, right up my Straße.

Oliver,
The ones I like are the LE Tailored Fit plain front.  They fit pretty good out of the bag and even better with a slight taper IMO.  I've posted wearing these before.  Here:

Much appreciated Wm I think these are the boys for me.
I have always liked the rise on LE but have bought trad fit (elephant ass) trews.
I have then had the added expense of having them heavily altered.
It seems like the tailored fit will this for me without the added expence.
I think i might have to go on the us site though as the uk site only has non iron tailered fit.

So the trad fit are just voluminous?

I have a size 32 waist and the rise is nowhere near 14 inches, they would be up around my ears if it was. Are you talking about the back rise WM?

I just called Land's End and apparently the pants are now discontinued.

They had one model with an 11-1/8" rise in the front and according to the sales rep that I spoke with, they were the highest rise offered. It's the plain front tailored fit but NOT the non-iron. They're a much heavier weight cotton than the current offerings I'm told. Whether or not that's a good thing will be determined. Sad to say that they do not offer a single chino over 10.5" anymore, so you can all strike Lands End from the list - but not just yet...

While these chinos are no longer for sale in stores or online, they so still have some stock, and get this... THEY ARE $7 / PAIR!

Yes, you read that right.

I just ordered 2 PAIRS of chinos for $14 with free shipping delivered to my door!

Here they are in both colors ordered, size 32/30...

In case those links don't work, type in the model number 404851 in the search box on www.landsend.com

I almost stocked up on a few more pairs to offer up here, but didn't want to get stuck with wrong sizes. Anyways, not sure if it will work for you Brits but better call and try to take advantage quickly if you can because there's not much back stock leftover.

Meanwhile, I'll be returning the dodgy pair I received in the mail the other day to a local Sears for a refund.

YEOW!

Just rang up and got 6 x Pairs for aud$40 + $29 postage.
35 waist 30 inseam except 2 pair with 35 inseam.

Thats all the 35 waist in Khaki Taupe, Light Beige, True Navy gone.
I passed on the Expedition Green and Plum Grape. Green I don't wear and I have a pair of Plum Grape which are very nice but hard to pair with anything.
