Ariat M8 Slim Hansen Kyle Taper Leg Jean 10078948

The M8 Hansen in the Kyle wash — Ariat's narrowest cut, with a tapered leg that closes down toward the ankle instead of running straight.

The taper is the point of this jean: it keeps the line clean over a boot without the extra fabric that a straight or boot cut leaves behind. If you like a modern fit and wear a lower-profile boot, this is the one.

Where this sits in the Ariat range: M4 is relaxed with a 19-inch boot cut, M5 is straight at 18.5, M7 is slim at 17.75, and this M8 is the narrowest at 16.25.
