If you prefer wearing slimmer-fitting jeans (or if work allows it), this might appeal:

Review here:

http://gizmodo.com/5837730/levis-commuter-jeans-skinny-jeans-with-biking-powers

Integrated belt loop u-lock holder and water-resistant fabric.  Cell pocket and reflective cuff lining.  Seem pretty spendy at USD$78, but might be available on discount for less.

Best,

Dan.

I'm intrigued by this latest offering from Paramo. You can put them on without taking your footwear off and seem to be suitable for cycling in. Cold/wet weather only I imagine. Not cheap either at £145 but worth a look perhaps

Hi, Jags,

Just found a new item that could be added to this post:

http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/07/09/endura-releases-urban-clothing-line-fashionable-functional-commuter-gear/
http://www.endurasport.com/Product.aspx?dept_id=110&prod_id=521

I haven't seen the prices yet for urban collection, but looking good and could be cheaper then Rapha.

By the way, now Rapha has these trouser for sale:
http://www.rapha.cc/rapha-trousers
for much reasonable prices. it seems that they won't restock them anymore as they launched new model (even more expensive), so now you have a chance but for only one colour.

Regards,

Oleksandr
