BIGMAN gear Draggin Jeans?

[jeffs]

Yes you are absolutely right, if you are looking for jeans or even chinos, you can buy draggon or other kevlar jeans cheaper, and with out all the hassle.

I am doing this is because I do not want jeans, but need smart work trousers when I turn up to customers, without having to shed a second skin. If some one made them ( apart from chinos ) I would never have gone down this path. But they don't so I did and i'm happy I did. I am not trying to talk others into this ( some people think Kevlar pants are not safe ) I am just telling people a way forward if they want something not off the shelf. And for those that wouldn't be caught dead in a kevlar pant, and don't wear leather every time they ride, remember there are many more riders that have been skinned alive without them.

I have a pair of Dragin size 52's in blue - there too big for me - trust me you have to be a big man to wear them I wear my work pants under them and theres still loads and loads of room.

I would sell them for the right price (replacement costs for example) I have only worn them about half a dozen times and they have not been washed yet. Also have knee armour for them too.

If your keen send me a PM

Mate I'm keen can't PM havn't been here long enough I'm told?

Its been bugging me for a while that all you can get in rider pants are jeans ( or one pair of chinos from draggin ), but not everyone can go to work in jeans. So here is a fix. Find a pair of trousers you like, business, casual or whatever ( but I suggest you make it strong material ) and line the ass and knees yourself.

I have found a place in Auckland that sells the kevlar spandex cloth that is just like the stuff in my TEKNIC Warrior jeans.

42" wide - $100+gst per meter.

1 meter goes a long way, say 4 pairs of trousers ( if you only fit as much as a draggin jean ).

All you then need to do is find a local Taylor, and you are the master/mistress of your own fashion.

my dear old nan used to be a seamstress and i'm pretty keen on getting a pair of my jeans lined by her using this material. any ideas on what sort of stiching is required (type, method?) also any need for patterns (where can i get them) or should nan be able to work it out with me pointing out which areas of my arse i'd like to keep intact?
