Hi Ladies... Im new to this website and need some help. Does anyone know where I can get some really cool, sexy looking bike jeans? I already have Draggins but think they make me look like I have blankets wrapped around my legs! I am thinking maybe I can find jeans with leather patches in the right places. Does anyone agree with this idea or have any suggestions?

Keeping your SKIN on in the right places is far more important than looking "really cool & sexy" :oi-grr:

Cool & sexy won't matter with the scars that girl will carry for life! :doh:
My advise.. if ya wanna be a real biker.. "get real"! :done: rant over... :whistle:
PS: go to someone like Quasi & get some (pretty girlie pink :shutup:) custom made leathers (with built in armour) made up! Leather is by far the BEST clothing to wear on your bike. :first:

Thanks for your replies ladies... I guess I have been told! I think I must have given you all the wrong impression. Of course I totally want to keep my skin on, thats why I want advice on Bike Jeans! I have been looking online and in stores, but thought someone might know of someone who makes cool stuff. (Not pink or baby blue).

Hey.... your hair has its moments like all of us. Thanks for lookin out for me. Safety is always paramount to fashion...... but geezzz surely they can make safety look cool. You'd think the designer folk would see a market in cool threads for bikers, instead of them making guys gear to 'fit' women. Maybe I can make some money here!

draggins are about the only proper bike jeans. i often ride in normal jeans, and i have been hit in normal jeans. the leg shredded right through and left me with a HUGE patch of scar tissue just below the knee. on certain days, shaving with an electric shaver can almost bring me to tears due to the pain. any weight, like a hand resting on it, can put me through the roof.
its not just about keeping ya skin on... its what will be left in its place. id give anything to get rid of the scar tissue.

another way is too get a heavy oz demin pair and take them to an upholster and have leather patches sewen onto the jean's, leather pieces aren't dear. just labour cost by upholster..

I've found there is a real lack in bike jeans over here... Over in Aus there are quite a few different companies... One in particular who made really nice looking (bike safe) jeans :D I can't remember the name of them though sorry :( I'll be over there shortly and will update you all with what there is if you like :dodge:

Hey thanks for the tip on sewing leather on top of jeans, never thought of an upholsterer. But maybe I can talk my guy into a trip to Aussie.... Plus I hear they have cold beer over there.

A few years back i took a fav pair of jeans into a leather shop and had a pair of pants made copying the cut of the jeans.
Result - As good as its guna get. I dont love them but they look better than any of the ones id seen in the shops.
I just think village people when i see leather pants so im not a huge fan.
Yessssss i know they save your skin though.

That's why you get ones with (used) knee sliders and scuff them up a bit :Punk: The Village people were to poncy for USED leathers :D

really cool, sexy looking bike jeans?
Go to the Daggin Jeans website, they have a new line of women's bike jeans called "Minx".

it's Hornee jeans - I used to have a pair.
They were pretty sweet, could just wear them normally.

I'd seriously recommend you get pants with proper CE approved protection, I am sitting writing to you in pain cos I wasn't wearing my bike pants with the armour inside them last week when I binned it. I was wearing jeans, kevlar just doesn't cut it in my opinion.
The teknic pants I wear are ripped, they are 2 years old (inherited from my nutcase rider bf) but the amount of times they've met with the tarmac they've done pretty well! And they look really cool as well, I never want to take them off after!

Ooh they are really nice. I will have to look at them when I am over in Aussie for xmas. Would have to try them on because I find the dragins stick out weird in different places.
