Take a look at this website for a different kind of jean for both riding and everyday wear. http://www.gussetclothing.com/

The good thing about the company is that they have ALL sizes...I can never find jeans the right length (29"....help me, I'm shrinking!!) on the shelf...this is my new jean company. Ordered me a pair of the Regular Fit Stonewashed and a pair of the Black...got them yesterday. The fit is loose enough, but not baggy. The main thing is that diamond shaped triangle in the crotch, allowing the "equipment" some more room and not having all those seams coming together in the wrong place. 40 bucks isn't bad for a good pair of quality made blue jeans...plenty of belt loops too. They run true to size, and you can tell a HUGE difference when your're sitting. Gives the boys some extra space... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

They've also just released a pair of Kevlar reinforced jeans, but they are pricey and look kinda weird, but I'm sure if you went down, you wouldn't be concerned too much about how they were looking if they protected your A$$....

After the girlfriend saw them, she ordered her a pair for riding, as her regular jeans "bothered" her Sunday when we rode about 200+ miles. So I ordered me another pair along with her order.

Check 'em out!!

Just up the road from me and I've never heard of them. I just ordered a pair and am looking forward to trying them. If I like them, their company store is just a nice 150 mile ride from my door. Gives me another excuse to tell the wifie, "gotta run out and grab a couple pair of jeans, see after a while" [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Thanks for the infomation.
Found out last week Frye boots are made right around the corner from me, 20 miles across the Mississippi River in Arkansas. Went by their company store the other day and left with 2 pair of boots that I didn't need but had to have.
I love this site, where else can I go and people help my money fly out of my wallet so quickly. You guys a worse on my Visa than my wife is.

Certainly this site doesn't help anyones OCD for motorcycle paraphenalia but I can save a few bucks for those looking at kevlar jeans.
Draggin jeans (www.dragginjeans.com) has kevlar pants for $89. No, you don't get the little "diamond in the crotch" but kevlar everywhere else. Hmmmm...maybe they should think about that for future products - kevlar crotches to protect the jewels.. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Anyway, I have them and use them all the time. Thankfully, hadn't had to "test" the kevlar. knock wood.

Yes and Yes. They feel bit heavier (in "total" weight) as compared to standard jeans. I guess I would relate it in terms of a "thicker" slightly stiffer feeling fabric where the kevlar is located (ass, knees). The uncovered portions are 'regular' denim.

When things get warm and humid, the kevlar areas get a "tiny bit" itchy due to the fabric sticking to you but nothing uncomfortable where I would have to rip these things off. You just "notice" where the kevlar parts are versus the regular denim. I've worn them in heat almost up to 100 F without issue (so long as you're moving). Like anything, sitting at a traffic light sucks no matter what weather condition and what you're wearing! For winter time however, the extra padding is welcomed.

As always, there's always going to some trade off between extra padding and comfort.

That is what I thought, was thinking about might be nice especially in winter, thanks for the input John

I may get me a pair of the Kevlar for the winter...but I'll pay the extra for the gusset...I'm telling you guys, if you're needing a pair of jeans, give these a try. The "boys" will appreciate it!!

To get back on topic.....Had thought about ordering these before...but after reading these post, I went ahead and ordered a pair for myself & the wife. Once I see how these fit, I may try the reinforced jeans.

Mine came yesterday, they are ok. Fit is different from Levis. I got the regular cut and they are too baggy in the legs for my taste. They are cut like dress pants. I can't imagine how baggy the loose cut model is they offer. Yes, they are more comfortable riding in but as for looks, I prefer the Levis slim fit. I am certainly not slim, 5'10" and 190, but the Levi slim fits are what I am used too. Must be a 60's thing, I can't get into the present day baggy stuff that seems to be the style now. Now that I think about it, at 54 I may need to put more stock in comfort. Yep, I'll keep them and try them on my next long ride. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Midnight Rider · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2006, 12:43:04 PM »

MJ....I also prefer the Levis for looks...I'm a holdover from the 60's as well...but for riding, these are really comfortable. Mine still fit my A$$ about the same as the Levis, but the legs are looser...on the bike, it feels good.

At 54 myself, soon to be 55, I'm into the comfort mode...wearing them for 200 miles this past weekend, I'm sold. I'll carry the Levis on trips when I want a different "look" at night...of course, don't know what to do about this thing blocking the view of my belt buckle.....

I used to always tell my wife that was the only handle she had to grip. Then one day a truck cut us off, in her panic I found she has a vice grip. Changed the rule and walked very funny for a week or so.

Could not help it. Just involuntarily crossed my legs...... :-?

Ladies, I sent mine back. They were no more comfortable than the Harley jeans. Today the customer service rep from the jeans place called to see if I wanted to exchange them or get a credit. She went on to say that most of their women customers return their jeans.

Oh well, I tried.

After 750+ miles in two days this past weekend, the jeans worked great...meaning I never thought about them while on the bike or when I got off. Normally, I was always pulling stuff down after getting off the bike...

They also seem not to ride up on your legs like my regular Levis, etc used to do.

For those concerned about the fit...they are a bit looser in the legs, but when you sit on the bike, that feels good 'cause they don't bind...the butt fits me the same as my others. Of course, I've got a booty and not two 2X8's with a crack. :-?

Garznhogs · « **Reply #42 on:** September 23, 2006, 08:47:28 PM »

Hey Terry.... Thanks for the original post, bro! After 1.5 months, I love 'em! Perfect riding jeans. I ordered an inch longer (31) because the 30" (all I could usually get with other brands) were a tad too short when riding. And they don't make my butt look big. ger.
And, the boys thank you, too! They like the extra room to move around. In fact, they were just saying the other day how much they'd like to thank you in person.
