I normally wear Levi's 550 (Relaxed fit) jeans & I'm a bit fat, with fat thighs, and wear a big waist. I've found the crotch space is okay for normal activities (sitting still, walking), but has nowhere near enough room for riding. Who if anyone makes jeans (or another casual-style pant) that have generous crotch space suitable for cycling?
Levi's made Commuter 511's but I have not been able to find them for a few years. They were slim fit, taper leg, stretchy, had a reinforced crotch, and reflector piping inside that would show if you turned up the cuff. I miss them.
There are several small brands making commuter pants but I have not tried any of them.
