All the jeans I try are way too big in the waist or way too tight in the thighs (including the
'relaxed fit' ones).

Does anyone know a brand that fits cyclists bodies better?

I don't know a brand, but is there a ranch or farm supply store near you? they tend to carry a lot
mose sizes than a dept. store. Smith Roedel

So I've done this cycling thing for a bit, with the result that I now have a 28-inch waist and
23-inch thighs. Now the problem is I can't find any jeans that fit. The local dept store sent me
to the children's section, since menswear only carries down to a 29-waist. Yup, I'm getting
"garanimals"!

I once had that problem, though it was 28-inch waist and 22-inch thighs. Thankfully (?) my waist has
"ballooned" to 30-31 and my thighs are the same.

I've found that Old Navy loose fit jeans are okay for fit. The fashions cater to the young (and
still-growing) crowd, so waist sizes go down to 30 or 28. However, the fabric doesn't wear very well
and will develop holes in embarrassing places, and depending on your age, you may look like an aging
teen-wannabe slacker.

Recently I bought some Gap loose-fit and relaxed-fit jeans, whose fabric is supposedly
longer-wearing, but they are a little narrower in the thighs.

Years ago I had a pair of Easy jeans with pleats, but now I tend to wear cords or shorts.

I hear ya!

I can't find ANY casual clothes that properly fit a 'fit' individual! Seems all the menswear here in
the US is designed for fat people.

I can't bring myself to take my flannel work shirts to the tailor for adjustments.

Anyway, my preference is for regular fit Lee jeans.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I tried most of the suggested brands and had the best luck
with Gap brand "Relaxed fit". Still had to buy them a size too large in the waist, but at least they
aren't too tight in the thighs.

I'm also thinking about having a tailor in Bangkok make some custom ones for me. I did this with my
suits, with great results at relatively low costs.
