Jeans

Have you tried something like this

gives you a little extra room for long rides or just waiting for a kilt.

Just wondering if anyone else on here has ever worn jeans.

I was surprised to read this. This question was like: "Have you guys ever drank water before?" But I had to scold myself for being so American-centric.

If I can't wear kilts, my first choice is jeans. If you can find the right kind that fit you, and after they have been worn and washed for a while, they are rather comfy. I never have a problem with the pockets. What I hate is pockets on slacks or dress pants, everytime I sit down all the contents fall out. I never have that problem with jeans.

Since I started wearing kilts I've noticed that jeans seem a little tight, something I'd never noticed before. So, rather than be uncomfortable I've slowly replaced them with Dickies. Now I'm a lot more comfortable when I'm not kilted.

I wore jeans and either cowboy boots or engineer boots most of my life. I never gave it much thought whether they were comfortable or not, I just knew I didn't feel comfortable in lighter weight pants or slacks. Once I decided to wear only kilts I found that jeans had been causing several discomforts that I had been overlooking. It's like when I was a kid and needed glasses. I didn't know it because I had no frame of reference, I thought everyone saw like that. Jeans were hurting me but I thought it was normal because I had no frame of reference. Now I only wear jeans if there is no other option.

Did not own a pair until freshman year in college. A friend took me to the mall, and convinced me to buy a pair of jeans. My first pair, Levi 501 blues button fly (still have them but dont fit--- i think they shrunk :rolleyes: ). I had always wore dress trousers, for school or corduroys for nonschool days. The first day i wore them to college, the professor asked if i was feeling ok? I said yes, i am ok why? She stated " well you have jeans on and no dress shirt! My friend was rolling in the isle laughing, and told her that he was the culprit as he took me to the mall shopping and picked out my clothes that I was wearing that day. We both had gone to private catholic schools, and this was our first public school system.

I still prefer dress trousers, corduroys or Khakis to jeans. I have a few pair, i actually prefer black jeans they tend to be more relaxed in feel, particularly where the sporran hangs.

I guess catholic school still has an effect on me, still prefer to wear shoes, have alot of them and only one pair of sneakers (the cheaper, the better). actually just took off my tie, had it on for over 12 hours, forgot i had it on.

I own one pair of blue jeans stiched by convicts in the Oregon prison system and one pair of Carhartts. They are both great for knocking through the brush.

Someone mentioned wearing pants when it gets cold... funny thing - I'm always warmer in kilt and hose than pants. It's been down around 18 - 20 degrees (F) lately and I'll be honest, I'd rather be kilted!

For me, one pair of jeans, one pair of olive-green twill shorts. Both are worn when underneath some Volvo, or when laying on top of a strut tower, reaching behind the engine to tighten or loosen a transmission mounting bolt... If I need to check the oil or coolant, etc, I can still do that whilst kilted, just have to put a pair of latex gloves on before I tend to checking the underhood fluids, etc. And, don't lean against a dirty car... ;-)

Well, I am compulsed to use suits for job, so I mostly use jeans out of it. I like the look, and they are also comfortable for me after a couple of washings. I never had problems with the pockets, although the view of a fullfilled pocket (keys, mobile, cigarettes,...) is not the best of all. My favourite model was always a straight legged one, (levi's 501 red tab, for example), not extremely tight, but wide enough o be comfortable for driving, working at the fields, etc,...

At the moment, kilt must be reserved for special occasions here!

¡Salud!
