Jeans or casual pants w/ plenty of crotch space
I'd like to wear jeans while out riding my bike, because I'm often heading somewhere (e.g., a meeting with a service professional like a dr. or dentist, a sports event, the grocery store, etc.) where I don't want to be wearing tights and changing isn't really convenient.
I normally wear Levi's 550 (Relaxed fit) jeans & I'm a bit fat, with fat thighs, and wear a big waist. I'm not big in the dongle. I've found the crotch space is more than okay for normal activities (sitting still, walking), but has nowhere near enough room for riding, the pointy part gets rubbed and mashed very uncomfortably. If I wear a size too large, so it looks like I'm a kid gangster, the cycling is a lot easier, but I don't want to do that. Who if anyone makes jeans (or another casual-style pant) that have generous crotch space suitable for cycling? I mean, much better than Levi's 550.

You want a "gusseted crotch". Arborists wear them. Riggs, by Wrangler has some.
