So, as I have gone full-on SWD wardrobe, I have some thoughts.
I've gravitated towards Rag and Bone for chinos. Well made, hard-wearing, mid-rise and fit 2 works for me. Soft and smooth fabric. Not cheap. Naked and Famous make nice slim chinos, low rise, which for some would be a no-go. Quality construction and a nice fabric, with a crisper, firmer hand than the Rag & Bone. Both have predictable fits so easy to buy online. There are tons o'chinos out there, but R&B almost exclusively for me.
My favourite trousers are OG 107/Baker pants. Most have rises to the natural waist, and higher. There are enough slim brands versus the military wide leg cut.
Lightweight - Stan Ray Fatigue (slim). Affordable, well made, scarce.
Normal weight - I have Tellason, Naked and Famous, Sauce Zhan, and Orslow. I don't see anything that puts Orslow head and shoulders above the others for the premium price.
Summer shirts - Lucky Brand cotton/linen blend western shirts with snaps. That's all I need.
In remembrance of the late, grating Walker/Fritzl/Gerd, horses for courses. YMMV. And I've been re-reading the Operation Paprika thread on SF.
