Also, take a model of pants, almost any pants from your content library, load them into UV Mapper Classic (free program) and examine how it was pieced out and UV mapped.

You'll see that in most casers it's broken into a number of pieces, at somewhat logical breaks.

Grab a part of jeans or shorts (real ones, from your closet) and see where the seams are. Those will give you some general idea about how to piece the UV map out.

There is more then one way to UV map things. Really it's very much like creating sewing patterns for a piece of clothes.
