Draggin Jeans

Are these any good?

At the moment I'm just wearing a pair of tough jeans because I can't find any leather trousers that fit me (plus leather jeans were a bit overkill on my scooter, I got enough laughs from the Rossi rep leather jacket...). But now I've got my Bandit I'd like a bit more protection on my legs.

I've seen Draggin Jeans mentioned a few times now on the forum so I'm curious. How much better are they than normal jeans - can I do more tarmac surfing with these than with normal jeans? (Not that I make a habit of tarmac surfing, but you never know) Would I be better off with leathers? I could probably find some cheap leathers for the same price as the draggin jeans, but cheap leathers would be hot to wear in the summer, so I'd be less inclined to wear them I think.

Where can I get some ladies Draggin Jeans in the UK?

Thanks for your help,

Rach

I found a couple of sites (including Ebay) to be able to buy them off. I was looking at them too, for the same reasons, just typed Draggin Jeans into google and hit UK search.

They have stockist links on there site:

There might be someone local to you Smile

HTH!

Not being funny but why can't you find some leather jeans to fit? Nothing's over kill when you're on a bike, looking like a dick is something different though. Wink

Always ride in leather throughout the summer like the majority of riders and it doesn't bother me. Just wondered why the comment about not being able to find leathers that don't fit before I made any further suggestions.

I'm guessing they don't have the right sizes or something, remember whilst blokes clothing goes up to really big sizes, womens only goes up to a pretty crappy size.

I think this might have been done though, IIRC, Bendy could help with suggestions on female biker attire.

Yeah - I posted about it a week or so ago - but not about Draggin Jeans.

I still haven't found a jacket tho Rolling Eyes

I still think you guys are all pussies talking about summers in UK and leathers. It gets to what, 25 degrees celsius during summer in UK? It's the start of may and we've already got 40 degrees and i'm still wearing leathers!

Rach, I have some, they are comfy.

I got the blokes combats, only because the girls jeans looked like Bon Jovi circa 1988!

I would recommened them, but possibly not for any serious riding, they are fine for potterig around etc.

Only trouble is they don't come in different lengths - but they are cotton, so can be shorterned for short rses like me.

Thumbs Up

FWIW have you tried Hein Gericke?
I know they do good textile jean type trousers. I use a pair of their black jeans during summer with the flexible hiptrotec armour, as I can still wear them in the office. From what I remember they do a good range of sizes as well. They also have some affordable leather jeans as well.

Hmmm, looking at some of those pages, I can pick up leathers for a lot cheaper than I first thought. Maybe I'll have a better look round for some leathers, and just stick to my normal jeans for pootling into work (although I love the hood jeans you can wear at work, but unfortunately they only do them in men's sizes).

Thanks for all your help guys.

Oh, and I won't be going for the chaps Smile

check out Hood.
https://www.hoodjeans.co.uk/

UK based (Norwich iirc) and better quality than Draggin imho.

I've got some Draggin Zip-offs, and they just don't fit right. when I spoke to Hood, looking for something specific, the guy apoligised they didn't do them, went off to check something while I was on the phone, then apoligised that they were short on Aramid (Kevlar is a brand name for Aramid) otherwise he could have made me up a pair.

Top service, and I'll be getting a pair from them soon.

Alright the Draggin jeans are very well made as is everything that is made in AUSTRALIA oh yeah, I had to put that in!
they are very tough, come in a range of colours and styles and if you happen to have a light fall and just scuff a small area you can send them back and have them repaired for $35 Australian or what like about 10 pounds
I like the camo cargo jeans myself Cool

they sell for $200 Australian here in Bunbury Western Australia

SHOSHINI JEANS are your best bet a lot like dragggin jeans but about 1/2 the price padded knees and hips as well as anti rip fabric etc ment for extreme sports etc but gr8 for bikers

I live in Melbourne Australia, so I guess Im lucky, I can go direct to the draggin outlet and buy them cheap! I have 3 pairs and love them, much better in our hot summer's than sweaty leather's!
