Their work pants seem to hold up pretty well in my experience, I still wreck them though. I just gave their site a quick look and didn't see anything.

They are not as tight as the 936DEN Slim Fits, so you could wear a layer under them on cold days. Try them on, maybe the slims are better for your body type. I'd say the 13MWZs are perfect for bike riding as it is somehow similar to horseback riding and they were constructed for this activity.</p> <p>These jeans are about $20 a pair and are almost indestructable. They are a bit different from your average pair, though, as not everybody likes the look of the broken twill weave.</p> <p>I heard that Carhartt makes quality jeans, but I am not too fond of this brand and don't have any experience with it. </p> <p>Ned, those ironhearts sound interesting, I read about them. I guess you'd feel like a knight wearing those 20oz. They are ridiculously expensive. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/bike-rider-looking-to-cover-butt#post-483 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:46:28 +0000 Edmund X White 483@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>for durability and price go with dry wrangler 936's. I would be surprised if you wore them out. carhartts are also very tough but might be bulky.</p> <p>ironhearts are a pair you'll own forever but you'll pay for them. they are the heaviest weight denim on the market at over 20oz (as opposed to levi's 12.5). I may save up for a pair at some point.</p> <p>if you wear out jeans often i wouldn't recommend levi's 501's.

I ride bikes to pay rent. I was a bike messenger, but when the economy went sour, I moved on to food delivery in hopes of better pay. Point is, I ride bike a lot and it destroys my jeans. I have way too many pairs of jeans with gaping holes in the butt. Lately I've been going to discount stores and buying whatever is cheapest and fits the best, but going through jeans that I'm not super fond of as fast as toilet paper sucks.</p> <p>Could one of you help me out with your extensive denim knowledge and recommend some sturdy shrink to fit jeans?</p> <p>I'm looking for some shrink to fit jeans that might have a chance of holding up for at least a few months. I like a more skinny fit, it keeps the jeans out on my bike chain but I don't like them skintight, too restricting and I can't wear thermals underneath on cold days. </p> <p>Really dark blue (getting close to black) would be a great color, but durability is more important. Also, they should be reasonably priced, I don't make a ton of money and don't want to drop a bunch of bills on something I'm just going to destroy.</p> <p>Started out looking at levis stf. The black rinse ones sound like the perfect color for me but I've heard people calling them 'paper-thins' and that they're only mid-weight denim (12.something oz, right?) so I'm discouraged about buying a pair of those. </p> <p>Heard wranglers hold up pretty well, so I'm interested in those. Heavier weight denim and the weird weave means sturdier, right? And the rigid ones will shrink to fit, right? I had a pair that seemed to hold up okay... for a while at least. Those were pre-shrunk though.</p> <p>Any other suggestions? To they make kevlar reinforced jeans? I'm looking for something bulletproof. Stf Carhartts? </p>
