Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	I bought a used Caldwell Promax while waiting on my new one to be built. The one I got has roughout fenders and causes the lower pants leg of my jeans to ride up and over my boot. It's awful and strangely really affects my riding! Any tips or tricks I can do? I'd rather not alter the saddle since I plan on selling it in a few months but will about do anything at this point

Elite Veteran Posts: 883 Location: Southern Indiana	After you ride in it for so long the knap of the leather will smooth and it won't do it anymore. I bought a new saddle with roughout and it was annoying and I regretted not getting tooled fenders after having them for so long but now it's not an issue. You may try oiling it or rubbing it with a rag to help the process. It just needs broke in.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 356	Starch your jeans (you can take them to the cleaner's or do it yourself) or try sewing elastic loops to go under your boot - think the 80s stirrup pants. You don't have to have any serious sewing skills to tack a little elastic on, and it's easy to remove later on if you want.

Elite Veteran Posts: 929	I have this same issue...I put the bottom of my jeans right under my spur straps in front so they keep my jeans down. Just tuck the very edge under and then cinch your spur straps down. Works great.
