    So I've lost a bit of timber over the winter and my 32" waist Draggin jeans fit me perfectly round the waist but are the baggiest things in the world round my legs.

    Can anybody suggest any slim fit biker jeans, I just don't feel confident riding in a pair of ordinary jeans

    TIA

    Why not get them altered?

    I have used several brands over the years and would recommend Hood jeans as they are well made, offer protection and are adjustable in leg length to some extent. They are UK based and have a decent website. I am not in any way connected with that company.

    Because they are much too baggy in the leg and a*se so would need a major rebuild to get them anywhere a decent fit. They look like I'm a kid in grown up jeans ;-)

    You are clearly not doing this lockdown correctly, I've easily put on a stone in weight since the 23rd of march, eating biscuits non stop. I'm dreading the day I try to fit into my gear once we get the ok to go out on our bikes.

    Have a look at Knox jeans. They do a choice of styles, from skinny to relaxed fit. I couldn't get the skinny ( tried on by mistake ) passed my knees.

    They ain't cheap but have some nice features. There's a hidden zip on the outside of the knee. Allows you to take the knee armour out when walking around off the bike.

    Have a look at the relatively new single layer jeans. Rokkertech are probably the best with Spidi J Tracker coming in cheaper but with less abrasion resistance. Check the motolegends website for details.
    They are just like normal jeans, but the kevlar is woven into a single layer rather than being a separate one. Expect most Jean's to go this way when other manufacturers work out how it's done.

    I second the Rockertec’s got two pairs and super comfy and wash up well, started with Roadskin which are good, albeit a bit thick and heavy

    I have the Resurgence cafe racer jeans, which are great and they also do a skinny version too

    Take a look on XLMOTO's website. I just received a pair for £29:99!
    Unfortunately I have rather large thighs so they were no good for me but seemed fairly well made. They come up big too, so don't go up a size like I did!

    I think it's the tonic that's fattening so I've cut back on that, old sensible thing to do really ;)
