My favorite pair of riding pants are "Patagonia".  They were a Christmas gift
from one of my riding buddies, a year ago.  They're extremely comfortable,
and so far have stood up very well.  They have an ultra-suede knee patch,
and wash up great in a washing machine.  I hang them to dry.
They kind of remind me of leggings, as they have a wide waist band--no
zipper opening, and comfortable wide elastic at the ankle which keeps them
from riding up my leg.

I'm almost 5'9'', and find the legs to be nice and long.  The only problem
I have is that they're not snug enough at my waist.  But I use an elasticized
belt to solve that problem.

They were really nice & cool in the summer, and long underware easily fits
under them for the winter.  They're definitely the most comfortable,
nonbinding riding pants I've worn.

My friend bought them at the Patagonia store, which is a sports outfitters,
in Mass.  I think they have a mail order catalog.  You may not find them at
a tack store; I never have.  I'm not sure how much they cost.
