Finding Pants that Fit

I know some of you are in the same boat I'm in, finding pants that fit. What brands/cuts do you wear that fit you?

I wear lots of suits and while I was big bellied it wasn't really an issue. Since October I have been on a diet and cycling more and have lost 45 pounds. Now finding pants that fit has been a problem for me. My belly is getting smaller and so has everything else, but my thighs and quads have been staying about the same size. Now I'm proud of them because that is pure strength, I can get a 30 pound bike with over $200.00 in groceries moving uphill with no major issue. But when it comes to getting pants that can fit my waist up past my thighs, it becomes an issue.

I'm still wearing my pants from when I was heavier because they still fit me when I put my belt onto the last loop, but they are all bunched up, although comfortable, they aren't the best looking. When I get pants that fits my waist okay, I have a struggle to get them past my thighs. I found one size up fits best around my waist and gives my thighs some room to move, but it's still tight enough that if I bend down enough they may rip.

What have you guys found that gives us strong cyclists a good look in pants?
