Verified Customer Reviews for Oxford AA Chino Textile Jeans
Our customers say…
Customers generally find these trousers well-made and comfortable, appreciating their smart appearance and suitability for office wear. They fit true to size, although some suggest sizing down for a more snug fit. The material is durable but lacks flexibility, with the standard knee and hip armor often considered bulky and intrusive. Many customers opt to replace the armor with lighter alternatives for added comfort. Overall, they provide good protection and are valued for the price, receiving high recommendations.

Fashion while riding
22 Sep 2025 by Bob W
Simply a fashionable pair of jeans for riding. Something you can ride with then go somewhere after and look smart. Really good quality and armoured in all the right places. Price at Sportsbikeshop could not be beaten. I liked them so much I went back a few days later and purchased a 2nd pair. On another note the staff at the Preston store could not have been more helpful. Thank you.

Good value, tricky armour
11 Sep 2025 by Chris
The jeans themselves are sturdy, look good, very comfortable, and passable as chinos though not truly smart office attire. I'm 1.89m and length fits well off the bike but come up short while riding, so I expected the standard yellow non flexible knee armour to not fit (it doesn't). The hip armour is massive almost dinner plate sized and not flexible - so I don't use either - the armour pockets themselves also a bit tricky to keep alternative armour in place. That said, can't ignore great value at £90 - potential to be great if the hip armour was usable.

Good value for money
08 Sep 2025 by Neil F
I ordered 40” waist with medium leg I am 5’9” and heavy build, the chinos fitted me well with the armour in the right places, the material is quite heavy duty despite being advertised as lightweight so not for those really hot days but perfect for spring and autumn. They look smart on and would be perfectly acceptable in the office. The colour is as shown on the internet, a sort of sand colour, certainly a nice change from blue or black.
I am very pleased with the chinos.

Chino Trouser
02 Sep 2025 by Anonymous
The jeans are very comfortable and have a relaxed fit in the waist, which is nice for added comfort. They fit well in the leg, providing a good overall look. However, the protective pads are quite thick, it might be worth considering a more flexible option for increased mobility.

Very comfortable Jean

Good jean, the material is quality and very good for the price.
Add D30 Ghost armour and you could where them all day.

Strange finish
21 Aug 2025 by Anonymous
If you want a smart look, drop a size. For me, the black was a weird finish/look that just work well enough to use in the office straight after a ride. they may work if you want the weekend cafe racer.

Not quite chinos
04 Aug 2025 by Harry
These are well made and comfortable but a bit too heavy to pass as Chinos. They are lighter than a touring suit and suitable for days when you're on and off the bike but not office attire.

Different, but excellent
23 Jul 2025 by Ian j
Bought these as a change from blue denims. They look good and smarter than the blue jeans. Quality is good and the size generous. I'm a 34, but could have got into a 32. The size 34 gives a bit more room and more relaxed fit. If you want to wear them to the office you might want to think about slimmer armour. Very comfortable and would recommend.

Ruggedly made in tough, heavyweight fabric. Comfortable to wear. Generous sizing. Not the lightest jeans I own, but they feel safe and strong. Excellent value and service from Sportsbikeshop.

Great summer jeans
21 Jul 2025 by Sam C
These are a bit more regiular fit than impression given by the listing images so I wouldnt wear them to work personally, but baggy pants are back in and I'm happy with how they look for weekend rides. They're thick but comfortable and come with plenty of armour.

they don't look like chinos-but are good plain Jea
19 Jul 2025 by Paul
They don't look like chinos-but are good plain heavy Jeans. Correctly sized for me. Can only be paired with short boots. The armour was not included but I thought it was supposed to be from the description- luckily I had oxford armour I could swap in.

Comfy, ideal for hot weather.
18 Jul 2025 by TheNoddingBiker
These make all the difference (to typical black/blue) in hot weather. The fit is "stylish", much more so than Bull-It's "straight" jeans which I also have. I went for 32 (I'm 34 in standard jeans) following the advice here to "size down" and they're perfect. The hip armour is huuuuge, but inspires confidence. Front pockets are a bit tight, but that's the only complaint.
