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

Jeans should make you look hot while still being comfortable!!! The hallmark of a good pair of jeans is that you can ride in them and they still look great afterwards, not too stretched out.

[Judy Lynn Wills]

This cowgirl likes soft jeans, able to move with me (in the saddle and out} with deep pockets. Also, jeans which turn the male lookers and say, "Hay, you look like you're going to the barn." "Later," I reply. Wranglers have always been my favorite jeans, but MAYBE--- ARIAT could change my thinking.

[Terri Love]

I want my jeans to stay were they should when I sit down, and allow me to get my foot into the saddle! So they need a little stretch!

[Louise Cotulla]

A great pair of jeans fits in the rear so I don't hang out; fits in the waist with no gapping; has a bit of stretch so I can bend over comfortably; and above all--A GREAT PAIR OF JEANS IS LONG ENOUGH!! Yay Ariat!

[Shannon Metzler]

I love a good pair of jeans that fit great. I don't want them to tight or to loose in areas and comfort is a must. I love ariat jeans

[Jann Hadsell]

Just as women come in different shapes and sizes, so do jeans nowadays. What makes Ariat jeans stand out from all the rest for looks, comfort and feel is the quality and feel of their denim. Nobody wants a pair of jeans that are so stiff they can literally "stand up on their own". Nor the jeans that are so worn or limp that all they are good for is a dust rag. Ariat jeans have just the right amount of fit and "give" in the right places to be worn all day without any discomfort. And, as an added bonus, stays flattering to the figure.

[Karen Densmoer]

I love a great fitting pair of jeans whether I am out riding my horse or just hanging out with friends.

[Lynne de Habermann]

I like a pair of jeans that can ride all day and dance all night. I have found that Ariat jeans can do it all.

[Elaine Boge]

I need a low to mid cut jean to fit my waist and seat. I am short waisted and they usually come to my waist. I want some stretch for comfort and give when getting on my horse. I like smooth inseams. I want a nice solid color with a no gap waist.
I think the Ladies Ruby Caliente Ariat jeans sound perfect.

[Carmen]

A good pair of jeans should fit like a glove without being too tight around the waist, hips, and/or tush. The newer styles - low rise, boot cut, long length, and stretch for a little give - make my 43 yr old bod feel like I'm still in my 20's, tall & slender can do anything! :))

[Tori]

I like jeans that fit in all areas; hips, thighs and waist. Ariat jeans are perfect. They allow movement, are durable and look great!

[Mrs. Robie Ward]

i like jeans to be soft and compfortable, stylish, sometimes the worn look, and sometimes new. fitting in the leg area, and not extremely low cut. i wear jeans to work at the office and everywhere else i go (horse shows, etc...

[Elizabeth Butler]

Fit - comfortable waist, just enough room for my hips, sleek through the legs, and a bit of pizazz to attract attention.

[Stephanie Staton]

I was super excited to find this contest and have an opportunity to win a pair of Ladies Ruby Caliente Ariat Jeans. When I shop for a pair of jeans that make me feel and look hot I have 3 criteria. First, while trying them on do they slide right up over my hips as I do a slight hop? This ensures size – not to tight or baggy. Second, as I look in the mirror at my backside does it appear to give me booty and a nice waistline? But most importantly, I know that I have found the right jeans when I walk out of the dressing room and I look in the mirror to see someone else looking back! (Heee Hee)

Seriously, I have 3 jobs as a mother, wife, and cowgirl so my jeans are an essential element to my wardrobe and have triple purpose – Jean Friday at Work, Horse Show or Roping on the weekends, and riding and/or looking good for my husband in the evenings!

[Sandra Wilson]

who doesn't appreciate a man's butt that looks great in a pair of jeans???

[Tricha Williams]

I look for jeans that are slightly above the waist and long enough so I can wear a pair of heels. I like to have good pockets on the front so I can put something in and won't lose it. Jeans need to make me look good, not out of proportion on the back side.

[Debra Teague]

Jeans need to not gap in back, not be worn out before I get them and fit even generous curves with comfort.

[Jeanne Hoiem]

I like a pair of jeans that I can do work, ride and look kind of dressy in. I look for fit at the waist, no gap in the back when sitting and that my shirt stays tucked in at all times. A little stretch in the legs for ease in getting up into the saddle is always nice. Boot cut to go over my boots and not so low cut that they make my mid section look bigger than it is. Dark denim color, non-distressed are my favorite color, as they get that look as I wear and wash them on their own. Also, a smooth inseam and crotch seam for comfort while riding long hours on the trail. Has anyone every thought of making inseam sizes between the normal lengths? There are some of us out there who need a 31 or 33 inch inseam, but have to buy a 32 or 34 inch and then have them shortened (yes, even with our boots on that have 2 inch heels on them), otherwise we wear out the bottom edge of the jean before the rest.

[Karen Day]

Comfort is the biggy! I love Ariat and have gotten many friends to try them. These are the things I look for in a well made pair of jeans: lower rise, boot cut, some stretch in the fabric, no-gap waistband, good fabric that withstands barn work, & not baggy but not tight either.

[Lori Paup]

A great pair of jeans that fit right make all the difference when you are working in them. No gap in the back, and have a little stretch in them.
