Jeans for Cyclists

A combination of genes & cycling has left me with a slim (30-31") waist and the thighs of a prop-forward. I need some jeans to wear round the office, but it's been a nightmare finding the right ones - if they fit my thighs then they're too loose at the waist; if they fit my waist then they're skin-tight on my thighs.. Any suggestions? (No, wearing lycra in the office is not a starter!)

Most dry-cleaners will do alterations pretty cheaply. Buy them to fit your thighs and take them to the dry-cleaner...0

don't know what the correct word for them but it called the worker jeans which is baggy but smart-looking-ish.

There are relaxed fit jeans in Uniqlo for about £25 that I'm trialling at the moment. They seem to be good, if a little flappy around the ankles.

Wow, there's a sale on and they're only £15 now. Time to stock up, I think.Bike/Train commuter: Brompton S2L - "Machete"

I swear by my 501s - traditional (proper ) jeans they accomodate my not insubstantial legs with aplomb and make my arse look great. 8)Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Lots of good suggestions (apart from the skirt ), I'll brave Oxford St. again for another go. Wish that 501s fitted but no chance, unless I wanna look like Jim Morrison from the waist down..0
