Personally i used to wear tight jeans. American Eagle, Hollister, Bullhead, etc. jeans. I was too embarrassed to wear "mom jeans" when i rode. But going to the university we are required to wear riding jeans. Now i love love love my cruel girls! I dont care if they are mom jeans i wear them around campus with pride. I will never ride in another pair of "tight" jeans again.

I am curious to see what kinds of jeans other people wear when they ride.

Levi 501s. Or the $15 Wranglers at Wal-Mart, to save money.

Maybe it helps to be a guy...:wink: Or to be at an age where I don't need to worry much about anyone staring at me. Between my girth, bifocals, farmer's tan & wrinkled face, I doubt much attention goes to my jeans!

I ride in whatever is clean. LOL. Most of my jeans I buy at Catos. I'm cheap. I use to wear cruel girl exclusively, but gravity has since allowed my butt to fit into them anymore.

Although, half the time I ride in whatever I wear to the barn. Scrubs, capris, jeans. Whatever I have on.

I'm also a big fan of silver jeans, for some reason they're the only ones that seem to really fit me. I try not to submit them to barn abuse until they bee sufficiently worn out. Then I slap some patches on the worst of the holes and retire them as barn jeans :)

I rode in Wranglers for as long as I can remember - until a few years ago when I needed a pair for some ranch work and didn't have an old pair of Wranglers to use.

I happened to be at Sam's Club and they have their own brand of jeans that sell for ~$13.00. Best jeans I've worn in a long time and they are every bit as heavy duty as Wranglers - hold up better too. That's all I use now. (Not the same as they sell at WalMart)

I can't wear Wranglers. :( I look terrible in them because I have really little thighs and small hips.

My favourite jeans to ride in are Levis and a pair of Fox jeans I have. And these pair I got from Kohl's, they're just their brand (So or something like that). Super comfy and stretchy.

Wranglers, I think they are the Jackson20x and then I have another style... I forget what they are (also wranglers). I also have some Levis. I used to LOVE Arizonas but they changed the way they make them... Story of my life...

I ride in Cowgirl Tuff! I LOVELOVELOVE this brand, even if they are so expensive D:

I really love Adiktd brand too, and Hydraulic (Though Hydraulic is ore famous for skinny jeans. Lol, maybe not good for riding. Though I treat them like breeches and put boots and half chaps on overtop)

I have a pair of Q-babys, they're ok. For showing I have a pair of hobby horse sticky buns which only come in black, so I also have a pair of hobby horse sand colored side zips. I like the sticky buns the best.

Wow there are brand names here I have never heard of. Most of them in fact.

I wear whatever freakin' jeans I can find for less than $30 that actually fit me. Currently I don't have a pair that fit properly at all. Does anyone know how to find jeans that fit someone 5'9", waist 25", hips 37"? If they fit my hips, they are waaaay to big in the waist. Even low cuts. Low cuts that are too big on top are terrible, because a belt does not help. Believe it or not, the best fitting jeans I have right now are hand-me-downs from my son. ?huh? Still too big in the waist, but not nearly so bad as the women's jeans. That makes NO sense at all.

Although my daughter loves to pick at me by telling me I'm metro, even she admits that for outdoor activities I'm like most men. It's not about style, it's about comfort. Whatever fits comfortably and works well functionally. Cutting wood, canoeing, riding a horse all require pretty much the same wardrobe for a guy. Never worried about who made the jeans, just how they fit and felt to work in.

But I am giving serious consideration to checking out what it's like to ride in a hakama. They are very comfortable around the house. I have no doubt I'd get some funny looks from anyone who sees me riding in them, but no more than if I wore a kimono with them :)) Problem would be what to wear on my feet (boots would look way to odd). Athletic shoes would work. Or I could go all the way and find a pair of Jika-tabi. All that would just look to unusual for the US. I guess a shirt with straight tails to wear over the top of the hakama and athletic shoes would be the way to go.

Of course I'd likely find out that it's not as comfortable to ride in them as it is just wearing them. And at the dojo they don't look out of place like they would out riding a horse. Still, it might be fun to find out. :))

Another vote here for Q-babys. They are pretty much the most comfortable jeans for me to ride in because they do have a bit of stretch but not enough to get all bent out of shape. I also love that you can dictate what length you want, not just pick petite/average/long. I have to have a 36" inseam when I'm riding. Anything shorter rides up and twists around my legs and anything longer bunches up and causes me to bruise.

American Eagle 00 long in Artist, Boot Cut, or Favorite boyfriend. I'm built all funky..5'3" with long legs, little waist and a semi-big butt for a 100lb person.
I love the Cowgirl Tuff jeans and the Miss Me jeans, but I can't ever find any that fit right. Sucks.. So I stick with my AE jeans.

Well said smrobs. I love my q baby's. The only problem is I have to drive 2 hours to get them... Nobody around here carries the certain q baby I fit into. Dunno why, but the one fit is just nicer... And finding a 36 inseam? Freaking impossible here

I order them online when on sale from Shepler's.
I buy all clothes on sale/clearance except for shoes (hard to do) and online when there is free shipping. I HATE clothes shopping. Have better things to do, for example, be with my horses...
