Jeans for cyclists?

[jack smith]

hi all im having abit of an issue in regards to buying jeans, i wear shorts most days but when the weather is horrid or im going somewhere semi smart i need jeans. ive got a 36 inch waist but the issue is nothing i find seems too fit my upper legs, my legs are 28inches around and even the baggy fit ones are too tight, i was thinking jackamo ect but has anyone got any suggestions? Ive always put up with just buying massive jeans and wearing a belt but they look abit silly and are usually too long.

Mind you, I never wear jeans riding a bike. Just too uncomfortable.

Gave up wearing jeans on the bike for similar reasons. Replaced them with Trojan workwear trousers from Arco.
That was twelve years ago, at the time I was doing 250 miles a weekend, to & from work.

I go for carrot style jeans. Normal waist and bigger around the quads then taper round the shins.

I doubt it's too hard to find jeans with 36" waist that won't fit your legs. It's not as if 28" thighs/36" waist is a phenomenon unknown to man.

I haven't worn jeans since I was 14 and I am 64 now!

I had this problem when I was at my heaviest weight a couple of years ago. I was 16stone 10lbs and 38 inch waist. At that time in my life I could not find a pair of jeans that would go past my thighs, unless they were a 42 inch waist or similar.

I no longer have this problem. The solution was to loose some weight. I am now 14stone 4 lbs.

I've plenty of mtp trousers left over lol but can't really wear those out without looking a total nugget, it's not a case of losing weight at all

Endura stretch jeans?
Don't actually own any - I was looking at them a couple of months ago but didn't buy as I've mostly been in shorts since then. Always found Endura to fit me quite well.
