RTW and MTM Pants

[jschoombie]

Hi everyone,
This is my first post. More than likely this has been discussed in general to some degree already but possibly not from a New Zealander.

I have an issue with pants. I have a waist of approximately 32" however when it comes to the thighs I seem to need to buy a 36" in order to have something that fits somewhat well. I am tired of ill fitted pants that are to tight in the thigh and the seat. I guess I can blame my parents for my current situation! It seems as if the current styles of slim fit pants are against me.

I was wondering if anyone new of a place where I can get reasonably priced (around the $80-$100USD mark) pants that can be dressed up and down. I am open to spending a bit more however I seem to go through pants rather quickly as the inner seam of the crotch seems to blow out after a few months of wear. I live in New Zealand so if anyone can offer any solutions for RTW and or MTM pants then that would be great. I will also be traveling through Seattle way later on this year and so if there are any recommendations I would not mind stocking up while I am there. Any recommendations on jeans that would also fit what I am after would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Josh
