Nice comfortable jeans but armour way too small
19 Feb 2026 by Andy R
Jeans themselves feel & look good quality. However for AAA rated jeans the armour in the knees is tiny - smaller than most hip armour and I cannot imagine how it could protect the knees at all. Therefore you need to budget for buying new armour. With the jeans already top end price at £235, the additional cost of armour makes them very expensive. Whilst they are nice I do not see they justify such a premium over some other quality jeans.

Great selections of cut and style from John Doe. Seems to be great quality and fit, replacing my old bullit cover ones. Looks like normal jeans, very happy

Good quality, decent looking jeans

Pretty decent looking Jean, well made and works with the aesthetic of not looking like you are wearing biker gear. Pairs nicely with my belstaff

Are these a good fit?

This is my second pair of John Doe Jeans. They look good enough to wear to work. I went for a slightly longer leg length so the are long enough when sitting on the bike.

Best riding jean I've ever purchased
29 Aug 2025 by SLB
Fits true, kneepad fitting system is the best I've encountered, Comfortable and tough. You can't go wrong. Just wish it had a bit longer fly. Otherwise—deluxe.

Great Fit!
09 Mar 2025 by Darren
Great fit for me and slim comfortable hip and knee armour. However, the knee armour is narrow and moves to the inner sides of the knee, exposing the outer knee. The design would benefit from wider knee armour. Also, the range would benefit from a shorter leg throughout all spwaist sizes, not just the smaller sizes. Having a mono layer, there are definitely summer jeans.

Great Jeans

New to Motorbikes so buying new gear is a bit daunting, these look and fit amazing with the added bonus of being AAA rated. 34 waist normally went with the 33 and they fit great. Upgraded the armour to D30 ghost

Motorcycle Jeans
30 Jan 2025 by Paul M
I have had a few pairs of motorcycle riding jeans but the build quality of these ones are probably the best ones I have ever owned.
The way they are constructed for safety is definitely 5 star without taking away the look of just a normal pair of jeans.
Also very comfortable when riding and they look fantastic you can really feel the quality of protection and comfort so I would recommend these to anyone that's looking for a nice comfortable protective jean for your motorcycle.

Perfect Rider Jeans
03 Sep 2024 by Karl
A perfect fit from John Doe.
Really can't tell they are riding jeans, comfortable and the Taylor are a more regular fit, I went a waist size down from my regular.
Also an added bonus, they are high rise waist for a better fit.

Very good quality jeans - they are quite expensive, however they look and feel very good quality. They have a comfortable fit and fit as good, if not better than my normal straight leg jeans, although these have a certain amount of stretch which allows them to fit over my mid calf touring boots. I would recommend these jeans to anyone looking for AAA safety.

Really comfortable. Look great. Very well made. I find them a bit tight around the waist but overall a loose fit.
