I myself am not a cowboy but 11 years ago I decided to take on the style of wearing cowboy boots. One reason was the large selection of boots available, the many colors and patterns , each pair is unique. I decided early on not to hide my boots and always wear the my jeans tucked inside my boots. This is the stlye I wear everyday where ever I go. I am 48 and live and own a body shop business in NJ. No one seems to mind my western style. I think most need to follow the "style" but some can do just fine with our own style :) Jeff Hi, I have the comments here regarding jeans tucked into cowboy boots.

I now have two paris of Luccheses and agree that tucked into pants looks may prompt a call from the fashion police.

She should have explained that the boots that she wears, the boots of the Bottero, they are not the cowboy boots, they are the sturdy heavy leather black boots, the Italian offspring of the English riding boots and the the boots of the engineer. She will wear her jeans safely tucked while riding; she can, of the course, <i>un</i>tuck them once off the bike. And she most certainly wears the helmet and the heavy leather jacket when she rides! She does in fact look like the goth motorcyle mama in her outfit, but accepts this, as this look, it is also the classic in its own way.

Things always look better on a boy's first crush, but still: done right -- with jeans cut to the right length and the perfect level of cockiness -- this can work and work well. [I haven't thought of Joe Frank in years.

You have touched me so close to the heart. My beloved mother passed in the January of 05 and left my wife the magnificent Lucchese. Maggie was a Daughter of the San Antonio as is my Father. Whenever the Presidents of the United Greatest States ever visit the San Antonio, the Mayor always gifts him with the custom Lucchese- just ask Henry Cisneros. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Manolo…

I myself ride the "english" style... the dressage and the jumpers... with this kind of riding you wear very tight boots with tops that come mid-knee cap and you must wear the proper breeches... the seem of the denim is most uncomfortable while on horseback.

The excess of flapping fabric on boot cut jeans is, in fact, hazardous. I've experienced this myself, wearing bootcuts on my own bike. I decided to tuck, as dorky and alive is preferable to hot and dead. I'd like to warn you away from cowboy boots on bikes entirely, because the leather soles offer no traction, which is a safety nightmare. It might be a good idea to consider rubber halfsoles on your cowboy boots if you insist on wearing them on the bike. A style compromise: you could go with the old straight-leg/giant cuff jeans-with-cowboy-boots-combo and cultivate the '50s vintage cowboy look, which is what I do with my cowboy boots. Then you'd look cool, and be much safer. I just gave up and bought Daytonas for when I ride. Bon chance. LaBellaDonna,

Ever. For any reason. HOWEVER - it can look pretty fierce* if they are a bootcut or skinny jean, & tucked into, say, a "work" boot. For example, a Frye engineer boot - link below. Perhaps not black, to avoid the sterotypical "biker mama" or "goth" look - but the caramel color is delicious, and the shoe sufficiently rugged that you can conquer ANTYHING!, especially the cycles of the motor. *The heaviness of the boot will need something other than the light summer blouse. But of course, being safety conscious, I know that you will be wearing a very heavy leather jacket & helmet as well. http://www.fryeboots.com LaBella Donna - I am so sorry, my sweet, I simply cannot endorse tucking jeans into cowboy boots.

The boot cut jean worn over the boot is best. And to La Bella Donna, first of all, you are safe on the gold wing. It's larger than a civic and has a reverse gear for lord's sake. It is probably the safest motorcycle you could climb onto the back of. However, I would not wear a wide leg jean on a bike. If nothing else, the flapping is uncomfortable. You needn't tuck your jeans into the boots, but go with a very modest boot cut or tapered jean that fits reasonably closely over the boot. If you're exceptionally concerned about safety, you may want to consider <a href="http://www.dragginjeans.com/LowRise.htm" rel="nofollow">kevlar lined jeans</a>. And of course, always wear a helmet! I'm not a rider myself (too klutzy) but my grandpa (in his 80's) and husband ride.
