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

The reason I gave it only four stars overall is because, even though the R inseam is listed as 33, I wear an inseam of 32 and these are too long by inches. Beyond that, these jeans are extraordinarily comfortable. I have a severe hourglass figure with a big ol' bum and my choice was between these and some Levi's curveID jeans. The "engineered waistband that won't gap" is only 99% accurate for me considering my proportions, but I am immensely pleased with how very little they do gap. For someone with a less ridiculously pronounced figure, I imagine this would fit perfectly. There are a pair of darts beneath and to the outside of each back pocket which helps to shape the seat of the jean, as well as the waistband arching up considerably in the back. They almost feel tailored. The material is heavy and they feel well made. All in all, I think these are wonderful.

Love these. I am tall and most jeans don't fit well through the rise but these are pretty good. The denim is nice and substantial, they feel like jeans from 20 years ago. The fit is good, well cut and flattering without being painted on. Length in L is good for me with flats or low heel, I'm tall and have a 35-36" inseam, I'd guess these are 36"-ish. Shorter than a GAP x-long inseam. Hopefully they don't shrink too much. Only complaint is the dated studs on the back pockets.

These are great jeans! I am 5'10" - 150 pounds, and I ordered a 29L based on the other reviews. They fit perfectly with my boots and heels. The material is quality and there are no gaps in the waist.

I absolutely LOVE these jeans. I am a repeat costomer for life.

I am hooked on Ariat's REAL mid rise jeans! This time I purchased the Whipstitch boot cut in Marine color. The fit is perfect for my shape, they don't bind or choke. They don't gap at the waist and the "long" is the perfect length for my 34 inch inseam. They're comfortable and durable, the total package!

The R.E.A.L. jeans are my most favorite jeans! I wear them all the time to work outside, go shopping and to my job! So versatile and comfortable. I couldn't ask for a more perfect pair of jeans! They are flattering and are offered in many different pocket styles and sizing. The midride allows for a comfortable fit and the bottoms fit nicely over boots! I highly recommend these for anyone who needs a trusty pair of pants!

I love Ariat bootcuts! I work at a Farmstore in the clothing department and I am always running around putting new clothes out, stocking boots and helping customers so comfort is key for me. I always help my customers pick the best products and I always have a pair on to recommend to customers.

I've searched everywhere for good jeans. Ones that are durable for work and fit my body comfortably. These are it! They have just the right amount of stretch. And they're strong enough to withstand my normal work days. These jeans are great quality and super cute. Thank you Ariat for finally making a great quality Jean that lasts!

I switched to Ariat jeans about three years ago and haven't stopped wearing them! By now I have five different pairs and fully plan on purchasing more. They all have a different yet similar fit, perfect for anyone. Amazing riding jeans, have the right about of stretch along with durability. I do a lot of horseback riding which is what made me buy my first pair. You won't see my riding in any other jeans. If you want a good all around pair of jeans that holds up to everything you throw at it while also giving you the option to dress them up too, then definitely snag you up a pair! Very comfortable and versatile jeans. Have nothing bad to say about them, my first pair still looks new even after a dozen washes!

I have trouble finding jeans that last and fit right. These have been the best jeans and lasted me much longer than I ever expected.

I love these jeans! They are so comfortable, I did not realize that the regular would be so long! Next time I will order short.

I have at least 6 pair of Ariat jeans. I have had them for 5 years and they are still going strong. I only wear ariat jeans. They are comfortable and durable. Love my ariat jeans.

I have been buying Ariat jeans for over 10 years now, they are the ONLY jeans I wear. I work in them, do barn work in them and ride in them. Most durable and comfortable jeans I have bought. These jeans have never failed me.

So comfortable yet very durable. Looks amazing whether I'm working, riding, or out on the town. They are always True to size and one of the best fitting jeans I have ever had. They don't wear down in the usual spots and always flatter. I own this pair and several other styles and I can't recommend Ariat denim enough!

I love the boot cut of these jeans, but they were too long and there's too much stuff on the pocket...I wish they made a short with NO embellishment on the pockets. sadly sent back...

I love these jeans! They fit perfectly over my boots and over my hips - they stop just above my hips and stay in place while riding. They are a little looser in the thigh than I would normally go for but it looked like they would be in the picture so I wasn't too surprised.

Love the jeans. Great material. Don't stretch out. Comfortable

These are my favorite jeans, it's like putting on a hug every morning. They fit perfect and I love that I have so many length options.

These have been my go-to black jeans for 7 years now and they've held up beautifully. I really hope Ariat brings them back at some point, I'd love to get another pair!

Great jeans that are true to size! These are literally the only jeans that I have found that fit properly in all areas

These jeans are perfect! It was my first time buying any Ariat jeans and I absolutely love them. The fit, the style, the color are all perfect. I'll definitely be buying them again.

I absolutely love these jeans. I'm 5'11" so it's hard to find jeans that are long enough.

Love these freaking jeans! So comfortable, awesome fit, and super stylish!

Loose enough to accommodate ranch work but fitted enough to be cute when going into town

I work on a busy ranch. I do everything from mucking stalls to laundry, feed and water animals, climb up hills. Ii crawl around in mud and rocks and do whatever it takes. I usually average about 36,000 steps a day. These jeans are super comfortable and withstand me crawling on the ground. I am happy that I can depend on the sizing being pretty much the same across the board as far as mid to high rise boot-cut jeans go. I prefer high-rise because I am slim in the hip and rear area. I have long about 35-36" inseam and prefer x-long although long can do the trick. The awesome thing for me is that I put my jeans on and can concentrate on my chores and don't have to put any thought into my jeans. Also, Ariat jeans have enough belt loops so if you have to let your belt out slightly, there is another loop nearby. I have a whole collection of Ariat jeans in different styles and colors. I hover between 28-30. I hope you have the same experience!
