The big question here is what temps you're biking in. I recently bought some bike pants for winter biking myself.

For 45f-25f, I bought REI Novaro Headwind bike pants. They're windproof in the front and not wind proof (which is nice for them not getting clammy from sweating) in the back:
Novara Headwind Bike Pants - Men's - REI.com

For colder temps like below 25f, I'd go with something fully waterproof like Gore (Active) Bike Wear Alp-X 2.0 GT AS Pants Long:
Gore Bike Wear Alp-X 2.0 GT AS Pants Long - Freewheel Bike Shop - Minneapolis - Twin Cities - St. Paul

Showers Pass offers some stuff as well:

I wish I could be because I'd rather not change, but I am not a fan of "biking jeans" if I can help it. They wear out rubbing against the seat while pedalling - and "reinforced" jeans means they take twice as long to wear out but they still wear out. Jean material just doesn't hold up to repetitively rubbing against the seat like other synthetic materials do. Jeans also can tend to have the waistband into into your waist while riding...some people notice some don't, but pants with an elastic waistband have been waaay more comfortable for me.
