Yeah! I can't remember the style name but I bought some from smith brothers when they went out of business. My only complaint is I wish I had bought smaller ones because the butt does get saggy after riding all day. I also like the higher rise rock n roll cowgirl jeans! |

| Oh ok! Well they said I can exchange if they don't work.
I found some boyfriend rock and roll jeans and orders those so maybe they will fit.
Gee according to kimes sizing my thunder things will get the circulation squeezed off. Hahaha. Glad I didn't order those yet. |

         Location: Bandera, TX | To me it feels that the Kimes jeans are made for a less curvy built (thighs!!). They also have very little stretch so I don't like to ride in them. I only wear mine on a skinny day. |

| From experience...
I wear a 32 waist in Cowgirl Tuff and a 14 in Kimes...I started out with the Francesca because I figured I need more room for my @$$ and thunder thighs...they stretched and became baggy...the next time I bought the Betty, also in a 14 and they great! Some of their styles have spandex and some don't...the Alex is more of a looser fit also, but I haven't tried them on and the Jolene has a lower rise. |

| I used to wear wrangler but they changed thier denim, its thinner now and I can't stand that. I like thicker. thats one big reason why i chose cowgirl tuff then denim is the perfect weight/thickness.
yeah i know 100 for jeans is very high to me as well. maybe i can find some ones on sale.
gotta love being a working girl, we gotta be able to move and work without our clothes falling off or getting in a bind lol |

That's my thing. I took a break from riding for about 5 years and just started back. I went to order and buy some jeans in the store and realized that the style now is all relaxed and loose legs. I am not so much of a fan of that style. lol I want my snug jeans with a straight calf like they used to be. Do they exist? |

| I got BKE jeans for the longest time. Then I bought some Ariat jeans. Love them. I do not have to pull them up all of the time and now I won't get anything else lol. I also got the new wrangler flare jeans. Like those too but they are thinner and really stretchy so not for everyone. Can't go wrong with the Ariat jeans though.

Another good one to check out is Cinch ladies jeans. Wrangler also still makes 100% cotton jeans that are heavy weight. |

    Location: Armuchee, GA, NW section of Ga | I use to feel your frustration, but I think it is because the way these new jeans are cut. They are made to ride on your lower hip bones...i suppose it looks sexy but at 63 I would rather have 100% cotton, heavy duty made with NO streach. I want to be held firm and not jiggle around walking or in the saddle. It took be awhile, and I found that Lee Wranglers, relaxed cut, 100% cotton can still be found. Lee company last year changed things around and added streach to their jeans, but if you look around they can still be found. When my jeans started looking frayed, i found my Lee wranglers ideal jean at Blains farm supply. 100% cotton is difficult. So I bought 6 pair, and intend on getting a few more.....just in case. Ahhhh they do fit so good. And I do not have to pull them out of my butt crack at any time. |

Yeah about 8 years ago or more i had my first pairs and they were good. Since then i am sure they changed. I tried to email and get an answer but they said that they never changed them.
The the higher rise ones are called natural fit or just tuff. They are 1" higher rise. I like them. I bought a size smaller than regular CGT. I got three pairs of them. Pm me if you want the store name that I got mine from. |

    Location: Texas | I absolutely love my Kimes. I got rid of all my other brands. They fit me perfectly. I wore a 26 or 27 in Tuff Jeans and I wear a 2 in the Jolenes and 4 in Franseca. Get the Jolenes a little snug because they stretch out perfectly. If you message Kimes what sizes you wear they can tell you which sizes to buy. They were dead on with me.

I really want to try the Jolenes but based on their size chart when I measured my hips I was a 0-2 and my thighs were 4-6 so now I'm confused! lol I had a friend tell me I would probably be a 4 or maybe a 2 in Kimes. I typically wear a 27 in jeans. |

I had two pairs or R&R cowgirl jeans that I loved how they fit and didn't stretch, but the zippers on both broke early on. I have a pair of CT jeans that I've tried to wear twice. They fit for about ten minutes and then get all saggy. So add that to the brand new jeans that I'll never wear again, sitting in the closet... |

....heads up she is offering a $15 discount to ppl who sign up http://barcoo.launchrock.com/

| Kimes!! They are all I wear now. They come up higher (but not too high) so when you bend over they don't fall off your butt. They are $99 which may be a little more expensive, but they are made in the US and they last. I will have had one pair for 2 years in August and they still look great. |

I wear whatever is on sale on eBay now. I'll make my bid of $5 and go try the same pair on in a store to make sure they fit. I've gotten to try so many pair of jeans that way. I buy any length and hem them. I don't pay more for than $20 ever for a pair of jeans. I like the Thred Up app and site as well. Buy a lot of name brand things there. |

  Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I absolutlely LOVE LOVE LOVE my ariat jeans. Im also a huge fan of Cowgirl Tuff but they do slide down my butt a ton more, even with a belt on. And ive had zipper problems on my last 2 pairs i bought. grrrr. My ariat jeans never slide even without a belt and they get that perfect amount of stretch where i dont feel like im going to rip my jeans every time i put a foot in the stirrup! Plus they make them in XXL length! my waist is a 29 typically and my inseam is a 37 so finding jeans is super hard for me and the ariats fit so perfectly. They normally have them on sale at Big D's almost all the time. I havent even wanted to try Kimes simply beacuse of the price and it seems they arent made for girls that arent a twig figure lol. |

| I need jeans that are relaxed fit and loose thru the hips and thighs. Levis 550 relaxed fit are great, however, the sizes can very as much as 4 inches for the exact same jeans. It's very frustrating to buy the exact same pair of jeans and one fits loose and the other you can barely get past your knees. I really prefer jeans that sit above the waist. Give me the "mom" jeans and bring back the old rockie jeans, I loved those and how they fit. I'm 62, don't need my behind hanging out the back or jeans sitting so low my belly fat hangs over the top. I need jeans that will hold that in. Absolutely hate stretch jeans. |

| I have yet to find a pair of jeans that fits me perfectly! I have a tiny waist and medium size booty and thighs, plus a 36+inseam. All the CT are too big in the waist and end up bunchy in the front. RR cowgirl are kinda the same way. I do really like the Ariat riding jeans but I have to buy them tight in the thighs for the waist to fit. They need to start a custom measurement jeans company!! |

They fit for about ten minutes and then get all saggy. So add that to the brand new jeans that I'll never wear again, sitting in the closet...
But the problem is, they all wear out eventually. I skinny thighs, no junk and too much waist. The best fit I could find lately was the Rocky 5 pocket Slim Fit and I could still fit two legs in on leg hole. But they were the heavier denim and were Not low rise (nor the old high rise Rockies), so when I found out who had them on clearance I ended up buying 15 pair, but alas, I only have two pair that are still new.
Since I was running low I tried on some blingy butt jeans that I came across for a more reasonable price (around $40) that the $100-150 that I have seen and actually found some that fit pretty well. They are Grace in LA and the "Easy Fit" come up higher in the back than he regular fit, making the lower rise a little more tolerable., though I have to make sure that I have on a big enough shirt to camouflage to extra I carry around the middle. They ARE snug around my skinny legs so couldn't recommend them for bigger thighs. I don't care for the flared, so called boot cut. I like the old style boot cut that would stack and NOT drag the ground. Not a fan of stretch in my denim either. Sigh...WHY has it become such a chore to find a decent fitting, tough jean??!!
No I am off to google Ariat jeans and see what those are.
