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.

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.

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.

I've heard good things about those. I've been considering picking up a pair to widen the range of situations where I would ride. Get some more basic street time in.

I would never buy Draggin' or any other riding specific jeans... The fact that my jeans did not tear when I crashed and the amount of road rash I got tells me that they're probably just not worth it. Leather FTW.

Yea I hear ya but that's what the kevlar is for...."the burn"...plus these are 14.5 oz. denim...not to be compared with "regular" jeans...whether they "tore" or not. I also have their CE-rated knee/shinn armor included so I think they're just fine.

It also helps having pokets in jeans...I have a thickazz leather wallet in one hip pocket and the hard plastic kickstand plate/thingy in the other hip pocket for added protection against burning my azz in a slide.

To each their own though.
