Ariat M8 Modern Carlington Hillcrest Slim Straight Leg Jean 10074791

The M8 is Ariat's slimmest jean — fitted through the hip and thigh for a modern line that still reads western rather than fashion.

The number that separates it from the M7 line: a 16.25-inch leg opening instead of 17.75. That inch and a half changes what it works with. It pairs cleanly with chukkas, sneakers, and casual shoes, and goes over a boot snugly rather than loosely. If you want a jean that falls easily over a tall boot shaft, the M7 line is the wider option. If you want a narrow, clean line, this is it.

Standard rise. Loop Lock reinforces the back belt loop, and the no-rub comfort inseam lays flat against chafing through long wear. Heavy-duty zipper and hardware, classic zipper fly with button closure, extra-deep front pockets.
