Ariat M7 Slim Dalton Tibbs Straight Leg Jean 10074794

The M7 Dalton in the Tibbs wash — deep indigo with embroidery on the back pockets, which is the detail that separates it from a plain jean at ten feet. Dark denim hides wear and dresses up easily, so this is the pair that works for a night out and still handles a workday.

Slim through the seat and thigh, low rise, with a 17.75-inch straight leg opening that falls cleanly over a boot rather than bunching at the top. Taking cues from old-school cowboy denim, the M7 gives a sharp fit that works in the dirt and out on the town without changing.

Five-pocket construction. Loop Lock reinforces the back belt loop, the one that fails first on a working jean. The no-rub comfort inseam lays flat to minimize chafing through a long day. Heavy-duty zipper and hardware, classic zipper fly with button closure, extra-deep front pockets.

Where this sits in the Ariat range: M4 is relaxed with a 19-inch boot cut, M5 is straight at 18.5, this M7 is slim at 17.75, and M8 is the narrowest at 16.25. The M7 Legacy (10037890) is the black version of this cut, and the M8 Carlington (10074791) is narrower at 16.25 inches.
