I have the 55's which I like, although the waist has stretched more than I would have liked. should have downsized instead of taking a fit if you know what I mean. might take a punt on the 45's. chunky thigh/slim waist ratio is a pain for me too.
I'm getting to the point I might have to wash my 55's soon, how was the shrinkage in the leg length?

Nashvilles were one of the few cuts where the waist / thigh ratio worked for me. They are pretty straight cut so a bit wider at the ankle than I'd chose.
Another option is Edwin ED-39 which is a loose cut but with a bit of a taper.
Once my Nashvilles are worn out, I have a pair of ED-39 waiting in the wings. I've only worn them a couple of times as it turns out that I only really need one pair of jeans.
