Ariat review

Ariat is the bootcut brand for people who actually wear boots: riders, ranch workers and anyone who buys western footwear. Its men's jeans are sorted by fit code, from M2 Traditional Relaxed and M4 Relaxed to M5 Straight, M7 Slim and M8 Modern, and the bootcut best sellers include the Rebar M4 Relaxed DuraStretch Basic Boot Cut at $62.95 to $67.95 and the M4 and M2 Stretch Legacy bootcuts at $64.95 to $69.95. The women's bootcut page lists 32 items with waist sizes 24 to 34 and plus sizes 16W to 26W, and rises labeled Mid Rise, High Rise and Perfect Rise, with prices from $74.95 for styles such as the High Rise Ballary. Ariat says its bootcut leg opening fits perfectly over boots. It costs more than Wrangler or Lee, and its pages describe the leg by fit code rather than in inches.
