Pants comparable to JCrew Ludlow 484 line

For the past almost three years I've been wearing two from JCrew's Ludlow slim fit 484 line: Essentials and Broken In. Their fit was ideal. I have slim legs and a bit of butt (from the gym and squats). Now JCrew has discontinued both. I'm not a fan of anything else they offer. Time to move on.
If anyone knows what these pants were like and could suggest comparable labels to check out, that'd be great. I prefer 100% cotton or close to it, in the US$75 to $100 range, and need pants that are black and or a dark khaki. I live in NYC so going to brick and mortar shops is rarely a problem. I prefer that to buying online and trying clothes for fit that way. Open to anything, though.
Thanks!

Have you tried Bonobos yet? Not quite the same thing but pretty close and the price is in your range.

Thanks for these replies. Checked out the cotton black twill trousers by COS but the fit is too baggy

Hi Jason. Finally had the time to drop by a Bonobos store. It’s a great suggestion. I liked their $200 chinos, which are out of my price range. Was excited they carried a lighter line for summer at $100 each, in my price range. But the fabric had too much of a sheen to it. Was definitely worth checking this brand out. Is it also a little bit of a bro brand?
