Draggin Jeans

[z06boy]

I live near Hickory which is where they are HQ'd so I was able to ride up and try different pairs/styles on and walk out with them which is a good thing.

I have a pair of their utility jeans and also bought the knee/shin armor and have been happy with them.

Are they as "stylish" as my Lee jeans...ok probably not BUT I only wear them when I'm out riding and with kevlar across the butt and around the knees with the CE-rated armor on knees and shin...again...like them alot.

My riding boots and Joe Rocket jacket aren't as "stylish" as my regular clothes either BUT come on...it's riding gear.

The utility/cargo jeans are the way to go with Draggin Jeans. They look better and are much more comfortable to me.

I always buy a pair down at bikeweek. They usually have a tent set up and sell blems for $75. The jeans are absolutly fine. There might be an area where the stitching isn't in a straight line or something like that. It's nothing that compromises safety.

Z06, Check and see if they sell blems out of their HQ's. For the same thing, that can save quite abit of money.

The do sell blems...I didn't buy blems but may go back and dig through the "room" full of them.

I don't fit into women's gear... I'm now convinced that gear is all made for leprechauns I need to have the option of an inseam well over 30.

The best fitting jeans so far for me have been the Ducati jeans - go figure. But, at $300+ a pair they can blow me...

$300? Outrageous.

Hey bro,since you're so close to me,could you see if they have a 36/34 in the cargo jeans. I never tried those since I hated the regular ones so much. Thanks.

BMW had discontinued the line but maybe there are still stocks floating around. They are cut long and of course, the women's line for the female fit.

Oops, forgot to add that they ain't cheap, but they are good though. Textiles that look and feel like denim.

I tried, Lone Star BMW had them here... and the sizing was strange. Couldn't get a pair to save my own life. They went rather quickly, we seem to have a larger contingent of women riders here in the Austin area.

That is a direct product of the Carbon Fibre wallet syndrome they think all Ducatisti have...

This is not the first I have heard of this kind of pricing on their apparel.

Here's a good review of the Ducati Jeans. $399 a pair ouch. I'll stick with Draggin Jeans for that price.

I'll check but it may be at least a couple of weeks before I make it back over there.
