Customer Reviews Ariat R.E.A.L.™ Riding Jean

These jeans are the best-fitting, most comfortable, and durable jeans I've ever owned, and I like this style/color in particular... I need more of them! Where are the 26L's?!?! Please restock this size :-)

I bought a pair almost a year ago and I am absolutely glad I did, they are so comfortable and I have really enjoyed wearing them. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to find this style again, but I found it and I can say these are my absolute favorite pair of jeans. Would not mind buying this style for the rest of my life.

Wow-These jeans are awesome. It's hard to see in the picture, but there are seams on the "rear quarter panels" that go from the back pocket to the side seam. While I'm not sure of the purpose, somehow these jeans look really nice. I like 100% cotton, and that's hard to find, but these only have 2% spandex. The wash is not freaky, the length is good, and I'm a pretty average size 8 and the 30 fit perfect. I'm very happy with these, and I have been wearing 12 year old levi's and Seven jeans because I don't like skinny "jegs" or anything else. I'm 52 and not ready for spanx or elastic or mom jeans, and Ariat hit the nail on the head! And the price isn't hateful either!

I ordered these jeans twice and they were wrong both times. The picture shows a split at the bottom of the legs and they are advertised as riding jeans but neither pair have the split. I ask the 2nd time that shipping department check before shipping but still received wrong. I just decided to not address it again. HOWEVER the staff was wonderful, congenial and very helpful. Not their fault.

I love these jeans! I bought them about 6 months ago, and they have been my favorite pair ever since!

These jeans were exactly what I was looking for - and they were true to the picture and true to size and description. The boot cut was a little wider than what I typically look for, but I am very happy with the fit and look.

I love the fit. I am 5'6½". I bought the short length and they are perfect for me. If I were to wear anything taller than a 2" heel they would be short. The jeans I received did not have the cute split seam at bottom.

These pants are great: good quality denim, nicely stitched, comfortable rise, & serviceable. Perhaps because black but also cut, they could be dressed up. Only caution: do not order regular length unless you're tall. Although I'm 5'2.5" I usually wear R lengths - I like pants longer. However, even the S length had to be hemmed. I'd read another reviewer who made same comment, didn't take her advice & so had to exchange R length for the S. Finally, I've happily worn Ariat books; they're just as good in crafting jeans.

These are my favorite jeans to ride in. Of course they are too long just to wear around, they are made for riding horses, sillies! They are comfortable, fit well, the rise is just right, and they make my butt look good.

Love these jeans. They are some of the most comfortable I have ever owned and they come in talls! I don't ride a horse, but I ride a Harley and they are nice and comfy with a slight stretch. I found them while traveling and could not get them within 100 miles of where I live. Zappos to the rescue. It was my first Zappos order and it went perfectly.

I love these jeans! The denim is a durable weight- its a little stiff but also doesn't feel like I'm going to rip through the knee when I step into the saddle. I really love how they fit tight enough to look great but I still have full range of motion. They don't constrict on your legs or pinch your knees! The only thing I would change would be to make them more 'boot' cut rather than the bell/flare cut. I prefer a smaller leg opening.

Love these jeans! The fit is excellent and the thickness of the material makes them perfect for riding. I ordered them one day and received them the next day. Zappos makes returns so easy. Zappos is my absolute favorite place to shop!

First pair of jeans purchased on line and first pair of Ariats. So impressed that I just ordered another pair of the "real riding jean" in the skinny style. Fits true to size (I wear size 4 and ordered 27) and extremely comfortable. Will be my jeans of choice for riding. Super fast shipping also.

LOVE these! Great fit, great looking. There is no reason you can't ride in style. I hate wearing a belt when I ride. The waistband on these jeans does not gap at all - yay, no belt! I am a curvy 5'6" 135 lbs., a 28R fit just right. The regular might be a little long for some, but covers your boots just right for riding. I will be wearing them for other activities too because they are so very flattering. I ordered another pair right away.

I have always wanted some jeans like this, but all too often I find that they did not fit the curvy body style. These jeans fit like a glove and form to YOUR shape. Started with one pair and bought another 2 pair with in a couple of weeks.

I have had these jeans for a month now and love them! They stay up on my hips where I do not need a belt they have some give so when I ride in them I don't have to worry about ripping them. I bought 2 more pairs and love that they come in the XLong!

Super comfortable. Like the rise and the way it fits my body. Runs long, so if you don't like the long cowboy boot look, consider ordering the shorter length

Maybe it's just because I'm short-ish, but I bought regular length and they are actually quite long and drag the floor a bit. It's fine, I just tuck them up. These are so comfortable and so flattering. They hug and flatter curves, plus they are EXCELLENT for riding in-lots of give. I couldn't be happier! :)

I have a booty and these jeans are great in covering it all in the saddle! Extremely comfortable and durable too! The stretch is fantastic but they look and wear like real denim. They do run a smidge on the roomier side.

Everyone is right! These jeans actually fit real bodies! They don't shrink, they don't fade. I am a working ranch girl and its so hard to find jean that are not all " blinged" up and that cover your butt. I do real work, bending, squatting and ridding. They are not high waisted but are not low riders either, just perfect with no gap or hang! They do run long in the regular. I am 5' 3" and a 30" waist and the Regular is just a tad long so I'm ordering a pair in a short to see. Best of all, they are so slimming! DO NOT STOP MAKING THESE JEANS. We need to get back to good useable jeans that fit and loose these show girl things every other brand is wearing!

I am 5'11" and a size 6 (27) these jeans fit perfectly anf the longs are the perfect length! They are a dream to ride my horse in or just go to town in, love the look and feel of these jeans. Ariat is definitely my new go to jean brand!

I am just pleased with my Jeans. I love the style Riding Jeans, meaning the back is longer, therefore nothing is showing, if you know what I mean. I cannot wait to get my 3rd pair Spitfire, got the black and the eclipse.

I normally do English jumping, but planned a week on a dude ranch in Wyoming where I would be riding Western every day. I wanted riding jeans that were truly comfortable so I wouldn't get rubs or pinches that would make riding every day in a different style than I'm used to uncomfortable. These were PERFECT! Truly comfortable, soft, thick, stretchy, long. When you have boots on, they reach the back of your heel, even when riding. I ordered 29, got them, thought they were too tight, so I ordered 30. When I tried on the 30's, I noticed they were almost immediately stretching and feeling too loose, so I kept the 29s and returned the 30s. THESE ARE STRETCHY. If you are in-between sizes, order the lower one. These are so cute, I wear them all the time, including to go out. Enjoy!

These are the most comfortable jeans i have ever had in my life. my wardrobe will soon me nothing but ariat!

These are my go-to jeans for riding. They fit true to size and they don't stretch out with wear. I can wear these 3 or 4 days and they don't bag out. The spitfire color is nice for hot days, it's not so dark that it's hot, but it's not so light that it looks dirty. The long length is shorter than other Ariat jeans, but still works for me with boots. The rise is high enough to keep a shirt tucked in but not so high that they look like mom jeans. Highly recommended!
