Wider waist = larger thigh and then have waist taken in?

Traditional fit also uses a much higher rise, which makes crouching or bending over easier on the trousers.

Yes, loose and baggy, so be prepared to roll up your jeans if cycling in them. My jeans go from traditional to very traditional e.g. 1920s-early 1940s fits and I have no problem in riding in any of them. They'll be dead straight in the leg, likely the same width at the thigh as the opening of the jean, hence the need to roll them up if riding.
Example of a traditional fit:
It means you can get the right waist size and they'll still fit you. Lots of traditional jeans come with a cinch at the waist anyway. I've not worn a belt in years... At the more affordable end of the market, look for Edwin Nashville's, ED-47s. Or just go to Son of a Stag/Clutch Cafe/The Real McCoys if you want to buy a really good pair of jaens. Carhartt sadly have discontinued all of their 'straight' jeans and now only make jeans with a taper, I believe.

Is traditional fit loose / baggy?
Just ripped the backside seam on a pair of carhartt's for the 2nd time; already had them repaired once. Also happened to the pair of chinos I had before these. Conveniently, just as arrived at work.
Problem is too tight around thighs = ripping times when bending over. Oooh err etc.
Maybe traditional fit is what I need?
