How about those salt works ones halleybird got? Or the true religion ones that were similar? I think they came in dark rinse and had plain butt pockets.

james jeans fit those criteria (e doli posted 2 pairs) and the barney's co-op (in the main store) had a bunch on sale b/f christmas for $90. granted that was awhile ago, but it's worth a look. don't know how you feel about braving bloomies on a sat. but they have a really good selection of jeans, and they're pretty lax in the fitting room (i.e. a salesperson won't bother you every 5 minutes and you can take a bunch of stuff in) and not be disturbed.

also maybe try notify

the back is a little more embellished but not too much. and diesel. bloomies usually has a bunch of the rame style in the standard dark wash. but then you'll have a logo (though relatively discreet) on the front.

With a 30" inseam, you will probably need to hem whatever you get. Even if you didn't want a straight leg, you will probably get one b/c the hem will get rid of a lot of the flare.

Salt Works Orchard Street in Polished: These are not as low as the descriptions say. They're more like 8". They may be more flared than you want though...

yay! thanks guys! i'm going to write down all these recommendations.
my friend (dot) has volunteered to go with me to saks or barneys. i just get so overwhelmed every time i attempt to buy jeans.

it's so annoying - my gap jeans are total highwaters on me, but i guess designer jeans have longer inseams. i can usually get away with not getting pants hemmed if i wear them with heels though. but my legs are super short.
