I followed @edscoble 's advice and bought some yoga slacks from uniqlo. 20 bucks and work as well as the levis commuter at 6x the price. No reinforced crotch but who cares. Worst case I'll just buy 6 pairs. They look fine and you are tricking everyone into thinking that you are wearing trousers when in reality you are wearing sweat pants.
