I use a safety pin also. Works very well as long as your pants are long enough. If your pants are too short the safety pin will rip right out of your pants.

Maybe not. If you can find a neighborhood with a predominantly Mexican population somewhere in NY, you will find a ranch/cowboy store.

I don't think we're allowed to use the word "Apparel" on an HD forum. If you actually SAY the word "Apparel" outloud in the vicinity of a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a kid from Southpark will suddenly appear and call you a "F@G".

Just lettin' you know.

Get some boot cut jeans like mentioned before and wear some taller socks.

I use the stirrups and they take care of it. I got rid of the POS buckle and had them sewn so they are no longer adjustable. Works well for me.
