Win A Pair of Jeans!!!

We all know the saying---Wrangler Butt’s drive me---go ahead, I’ll wait...you finish it---NUTS! Back a few years ago, (ok, more like twenty,) I had a shirt that had that saying on it, and I didn’t think twice about wearing it out in public. I found it in a stack of rags awhile ago and pulled it out, only to have my 12 year old son roll his eyes and look at me saying “REALLY, Mother. I don’t think so.” So of course the first thing I wanted to do is pull it out and wear it when his friends came over, but I didn’t. Trust me, if the shirt was in better shape, I would have! LOL !!!

But this whole incident got me thinking. What is it about a pair of jeans that gives you the look, feel and comfort you want? I’m sure for every ten people surveyed; there would probably be at least nine different answers. As the one who chooses our jeans selection, I know what all the fancy terms are and what they mean from the guys manufacturing the jeans.

But when I write the copy to present to you, or better yet, when I myself go to buy a pair of jeans, do I really care what the ounce of denim is, or the name of the stitching or thread color used is, or that the zipper is a YYK, etc, etc. Maybe I’m unique in that thinking as I’m sure there are some folks that do need to know this info for various reasons, but my main goals are this; the jeans fits me, as in the junk in the trunk is completely covered, there are no holes in a brand new pair I’m paying for (if I wanted ones with holes, I’d wear my everyday pair for good) and lastly, when I slip a pair on they feel like something I could do anything in. Because, let’s face it, us ladies out here have to be prepared to do anything, no matter the task, in a minute’s notice.

I have worn many of the jeans we carry, and over the years my preferences have changed. I’ve worn and still do wear the Utility Relaxed Fit Womens Jeans, the Kelsey Low Rise Relaxed Jeans or Low Rise Slim Kelsey and the Georgia Stretch Low Rise Kick Slim Fit from Cruel Girl. I also still wear the Q-Baby Ultimate Riding Jeans and Cash Ultimate Riding Jeans from Wrangler. But my new favorites are the Ariat brand that has just been released. Whether it is the Ruby Calientes (lower rise) or the Turquoise Calientes (higher rise,) time and time again when I put these on I get a feeling of WOW----I feel comfortable, they fit great, they cover what they should be covering----in other words, these are my—“dang, I think I still got it” jeans. Dress them up, dress them down, doesn’t matter----they are awesome!

But guys, don’t fret. We have jeans for you too!! Guys obviously have different curves and needs, ones I couldn’t test---lol--that’s why I go to my test lab, aka husband Jay, along with a few other guys here at work. Jay is of an athletic build and has pretty muscular calves. It’s sometimes hard to find jeans that work for his waist but also are large enough at the calf. When I fell in love with my Ariat jeans, I brought home a pair of men’s Ariats for him to try. He’s been a Wrangler man for as long as I’ve known him, and he still does wear them, but he too has fallen for these new Ariats. The M2 Boot Cut Lower Rise is his preference, to the point, when we are going out somewhere I always have to make sure those are the jeans I have washed and ready to go.

To share my infatuation of these new jeans from Ariat, I’m going to give away two pair of jeans. I’ll be selecting two winners, to win one pair of jeans each. The winners will have their choice of any one pair of ladies Ariats #19175 or #19176 or any one pair of mens Ariats #19177, #19178 or #19179. See the official rules below. Good Luck! Julie

Love everything about Ariat. Jeans, boots, shirts, hats, helmuts. Great qaulity and a great company. One of the elite brands.

[Sarah Cogan]

It is important to me to have a pair of jeans with style but also function. I just bought a pair of Ariat Ruby Fashion jeans because they make me look great and are functional but also really cute and could be worn for a variety of different occasions. I wish I knew about this brand a while ago because I picked these jeans up for a really reasonable amount and I feel I have wasted much more on other pairs of jeans I didn't like nearly as much.

[JMoxley]

A good pair of jeans turns the head of my man. I want to feel good and comfy yet sexy. There is nothing like a good ole' pair of jeans. Jeans are like a comfort food...yes, a comfort for sure to any day.

[Kaylin Williams]

I like a pair of jeans that are soft but durable. I like when they fit tight but not too tight that I have to struggle to get in them. I enjoy pants that stay up when I sit down.

[Rachel Shwayder]

I have fallen in love with the Q-Baby fit, but i am not impressed with how sturdy they are; wonder if that is a factor of the stretch? So that fit has now become my standard.
That said, I like: a "mid" rise, hate anything that digs into my waist; a fit that does not have to be baggy to be comfortable, but if baggy is still flattering (yeah, THAT was specific!); a straight leg since i find Boot cut to be a little narrow in the thigh and knee.
I personally don't like a jean to look already faded, or have ragged hems or pockets edges, i prefer to do that myself :) I also prefer stiching to be subtle and not to advertise itself on my bum.
It is a real bonus if the jeans i can wear for chores and riding (flat seams, no gap waist-band, etc) are also comfortable to wear at the dinner table or at my desk chair all day. I am not tall and it seems that there are not enough 32" to go around - when i am checking clearance the majority are the longer lengths.
Thanks, this was fun!

[Diana Knudsen]

Most important to me is the overall comfort for walking, sitting or riding my horse. Sadly, I don't own a pair of Ariat jeans. Maybe if I win a pair of Ariat jeans I will become as dedicated to wearing their jeans as I am to wearing the Ariat boots.

[Gael Page]

My jeans need to be multi- purpose. They need to be comfortable to work around the ranch,ride and then go to town or play with my grandkids. And they still need to make my husband say "WOW". Not too tight but not sloppy either. Can't wait to try a pair of Ariat jeans!

[Bridget Duhamel]

It's all about comfort, I like to be comfortable when riding/working with the horses and in every day life. I don't even want to think about my jeans when I'm working with my horses they need to be comfortable and the furthest thing from my mind so I can spend my full attention with them.

[Miranda]

I work with horses, so I like a pair of jeans that has some room to maneuver in and that hold up well. I'm short-waisted, so I appreciate a pair of jeans that have a lower rise. All in all - it's about comfort and quality for me.

[Suzanne Rowe]

I like my jeans to fit, be comfortable and most of all be quality. They need to be tough and durable while being multi-purpose usable such as for riding, working and going to town. I am looking forward to trying a pair of Ariat Jeans, I love Ariat shirts and boots I have no doubt Ariat Jeans will be any less than great!

[Denise Deckard]

A good pair of jeans will have just the right lift in the tush, hug in all the right spots but not tug in the wrong ones. Ladies know what I mean. also I want a pair of jeans that will looks nice out dancing but rugged enough for the barn. Ariat Jeans are those jeans!

[Leah daziens]

comfort & fit

[Ken Scott]

A good set of jeans is different to almost everyone. But, to me, it is like the love of your life -- you'll know it when you find it. so, will Ariat fit that need -- you'll know it when you try them on!!

[Kim Westfall]

Love Ariat!! Besides the shoes, Shirts, Breeches, jackets I wear when I ride, I can wear the jeans everywhere..... Love the style, fit and comfort. Thanks Ariat!!!

[Stephanie]

I'm a boots, belt, and jeans kind of girl. I like a pair of jeans that is long enough to hit the back of my leather boots in just the right place, and looks terrific from the front and the back with a snazzy leather belt. If a great fitted t-shirt and jacket can top off the look, I'm one happy jeans-clad girl!

[Kim DeCouto]

A good comfortable pair of jeans can take me riding, dancing, to work or out on the town for a night. They look great with boots, tennis shoes or heels. I would take 2 good fitting pairs if jeans over a closet full of dress clothes! Snug enough to show your curves but not tight enough to show your panty lines.

[Heather Hamel]

My jeans need to work as hard as I do. They need to look good enough for work and then be comfortable enough for a trail ride afterwards.

[Sharyl Anderson]

A great pair of jeans to me is when you put your foot in the stirrup, sling yourself up into the saddle and your jeans stay put. There's no gap in the back and your not tugging at them in the crotch area.

[Jenn Hogan]

A great pair of jeans should make you feel SEXY!!

[Lucy Gordley]

I love my Ariat Jeans! They are the first pair of jeans, I have ever had that feels like I have nothing on and makes the men yell out nice butt! The best of all,they don't pinch you when you ride,work or play around.
