I wear 501's for the most part.  Levis probably makes a wider, "relaxed" model.  I have a pair of Rag and Bones from back when they were made in the US.  Their thighs are a bit wider than 501s.   If I was willing to spend over $200 on a pair of jeans (the R&Bs were on sale), I'd get a pair of Sugarcanes from Self Edge in San Francisco or NYC.

I've been looking for jeans with a parallel stitch raised seam on the outside. All seem to have it just on the inside.  Ina slim/ straight leg slim thigh in a medium raise for jeans.

R M Williams have them in their Legends range but as far as I've seen they are only in boot cut.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Anything in raw / dry?

That 501XX might be just the ticket - thanks!

That’s a sure nice testimonial you have got there, so lets have a look: After we are informed that the Diamond Gusset Defender Reinforced Motorcycle Jeans is just perfect for all kinds of typical chopperistaactivities like cruising, washing, shooting pinups and just “hanging out”, which should be especially comfortable because of the giant sized Diamond Crotch for the equally giant sized American Private Parts, we are introduced to Mr. Pitton.

Mr. Pitton, who had to suffer tragic setbacks in life, experienced a frightening event: he was driving 45 MILES PER HOUR, 30 mph more than chopperistas are used to and five mph below going supersonic. After he heroically decided to lay his bike on the ground – he did not panickblocked a tire like everybody else does – celestial trumpets blasted the national anthem and Mr. Pitton, on his way to his good samaritan work, stood up: unharmed, unbeaten in the field and saved by Diamond Gusset Defender Reinforced Motorcycle Jeans with kevlar patches. Praise the Lord.
Only socialist muslims would argue that one suspiciously uncritical written testimonial does not proof anything at all and there would be hardly any difference if you would drive naked, which would finally give giant sized American Private Parts the necessary room.

Seriously, are we all going to wear Banana Republic suits in Don Draper style because we find a testimonial by Joe the Plumber who was the star at the annual meeting of Burger King branch managers?
