Default Best jeans for riding

I know this probably sounds stupid, but my jeans drive me nuts when I ride my ultra. It's only a problem when stopped and putting my feet down. I never had an issue on my roadking, but this bike sits higher plus has the upslope on the front of the seat so my legs have to be straight to touch. The crotch section binds on my legs and it's not a pleasant feeling lol. I am 6ft 308lbs with 29 inch in seem and huge legs from lifting in the past. I'm Thinking maybe the wranglers with ushaped crotch would work well.

Harley has jeans...29.95 at the dealer. I was surprised at how comfortable they are, and how well made.

Levi jeans are like a cheap hotel...no ball room.

You probably don't want to hear my stupid answer to your question but I think your best option is for a SMALLER pair of jeans. At over 300, you've got to be uncomfortable with most things you do in life. I just lost a ton (not a whole ton) of weight and it's amazing how good you feel. Sorry pal, no harm intended but it's the truth. That said, the Wranglers are good and cheap, under $20 at Wallys.

Man I thought that I was the only one that was built that way. Take a look at the Texas Jean company. 1st they are made in the good old USA but they are not from Texas 2nd you can get them made to fit you at no more cost the inseam go buy 1 inch not 2 inches they are a good pair of jeans. I got 3 pairs for under 75.00 shiped go and check them out

A little spendy, but damn comfy on a bike.

Losing weight is a great idea, but still won't totally solve the problem as waist size goes down so does the leg room. My legs are big as in muscular, not fat. Keep the suggestions coming thanks.

Winter riding? Carhart flannel lined. Keeps the boys warm.
