Im after not looking all motorbikey when I embark on my next adventure, more likey Motherwell than Morocco but I digress, I look like Ive done a trolley dash through Hein Gericke (sadly missed) when in fact Id like to look a little more devil may care whilst still being CE certified.
This is a roundabout way of asking what jeans you recommend?
My current leather chaps make me look like a C.H.I.P.S. wannabe..
Take a look at xlmoto.co.uk
I just bought the Course Drift jeans. They seem quite well made and a bargain at £45.
I’ve got some Bull-it ones. They seem very sturdy.
I've got some Hood jeans, UK made, with knee armour. About £110 IIRC. V.good quality.

Resurgence
Resurgence Pekev Heritage Jeans - Old School Blue
Rocker Jeans, swiss made, actually look like real jeans and not ones your mum has fixed.
Also has one of the highest slide ratings.
Downside Swiss and thus expensive.

I’ll second Hood jeans. Good quality and take armour if you want.
Another vote for Hood jeans.
My vote is for Resurgence jeans from Urban Rider.
Many thanks people. I will look into these with interest.
Motolegends have some nice retro stuff.
I don't ride a motorbike, but have this jacket (Richa) for casual wear
Rokker are Swiss owned , not Swiss made - unless there are some sweatshops that have suddenly opened in downtown Dubendorf
They will be made the same place as everyone elses - but being Swiss, they will have loads of bleached bits, zips, and writing all over them ...
I can only comment of Draggin' jeans - which were really well made but very strange sizing with a very low seat rise. TBH, I would look elsewhere
I had the hood jeans. Fit was very wide....
Resurgence are great, I wear them casually when it's cold. They don't go over my proper boots, go over my hipster boots though....
Genuinely wouldn't know they are bike jeans. Good rating.
Quite a few pop up on ebay.
@mrmoofo You are correct they are Swiss designed and manufactured in Europe (does not say where)
They did however seem to do pretty well in testing and the kevlar is in the denim not sewn in as an extra layer. So the whole jean is protective not just the "impact" zones.
What is sizing like on the Resurgence Jeans. If I fit 38 Levi 501s, I would need these in 38 ?
I haven’t looked so don’t know if they do that brand, but Sportsbikeshop have a great returns policy so you can buy a few pairs to try on them return the rest. Or getgeared seem to have a thing were you order loads, then pay afterwards for what you keep.
