My wife bought me a pair of Draggin' Jeans and they are pretty nice. They are lined with Kevlar in the tops from the belt loop band to down below the hips and in the knee areas. The fitment is true "blue jean" sizing and they are preshrunk as well so you can order your correct size.
They washed up nicely and didn't wrinkle much at all in the dryer. They are a little stiff, like old school Levis used to be, but I don't "feel" the Kevlar lining. I really like them as I can wear these comfortably and do not need to look for coverall suit or textile pants for riding.
I have not tested their protection and hope I don't need to do so... The reviews on their site, and elsewhere, indicate they work well in an accident. I'm sure they won't work as well as full leathers, or a good armored textile suit, but they are a lot better than plain old jeans. For those who want it hip and knee armor is an option.
Ladies, they do offer Woman's styles and sizes on their website...
