The John Doe Taylor Jeans combine classic straight-leg 5-pocket denim appeal with AAA abrasion resistance and included adjustable armor.

Also offered in a slim-fit (John Doe Pioneer Jeans) and skinny cut (John Doe Dylan jeans), this straight-leg Taylor model utilizes a single-layer material that is easy to wear daily while still offering the highest-rated protection available—the AAA Standard. 

Like all our John Doe riding jeans, hip and fully-adjustable knee armor is included. 

The Secret Sauce

The key ingredient in John Doe’s monolayer riding jeans is its proprietary XTM fabric—a blend of Cordura, Kevlar, and denim that will survive a 75mph torture test, achieving the best-in-class AAA CE safety rating.

Not only does the AAA rating indicate these jeans pass the highest available speed rating, it also guarantees certain performance metrics relating to seam-burst strength, and cut resistance. 

The resulting material does it all—protects, looks good, vents well in the summer, and thanks to some built-in mechanical stretch, is remarkably comfortable to wear, on and off the bike.

The Taylor jeans are offered in two good-looking colors—a “used black” which really looks more like an asphalt gray; and an Indigo Blue. 

Perfect Armor Placement

The abrasion aspect of the motorcycle safety equation is well handled by the John Doe material story, but the impact aspect is covered equally well, thanks to what is the best knee armor adjustment system we’ve seen to date—and we’ve seen them all.



John Doe’s solution is dead simple—first it manufactures its own XTM brand Level 1 armor, which itself is lightweight, ventilated, and pliable. Next, two micro-hook Velcro strips are included on each knee armor piece, which lets the user precisely position the pieces into the knee pockets.

While the knee armor is on the smaller side, profile-wise, the brilliant “bullseye” positioning system lets the wearer target exactly where the knee armor needs to be. One can then record the position in relation to the provided reference marks, and then removal and re-installation becomes a cinch.

A Cut Above

This new-to-us (and the U.S.) riding brand takes fitting to the next level with a whopping four different leg length options per model on this Pioneer model, and waist-size options are offered in single inch increments through the most popular sizes.

The result is a staggering 80+ different size/color combinations for the most popular John Doe Pioneer model. This is good for the broad swath of motorcycle jeans shopping humanity, but challenging/impossible for us, the retailer, to keep fully stocked.

Instead, we aim to keep the standard 32-length models in stock at all times, but if you’re looking for a short or long leg length, please utilize the "Stock Notification" feature that pops up after keying a waist/length/color combination that’s not currently in stock. Or you can always email us directly to inquire about a specific size.


Features: 

  • CE certification: AAA (EN17092-2:2020)      
  • Straight cut fit (see here for actual garment measurements/method)
  • Monolayer design XTM-Fiber and stretch denim twill blend
  • XTM protector-ready Integrated height-adjustable knee
  • protector pockets Integrated hip protector pockets
  • Level 1 knee and hip protectors included
  • Water-repellent and breathable   
  • Multistretch comfort
  • Five-pocket denim style 
  • Strap for gloves and keys  
  • YKK zipper 


Note: as of 2024 the "Light Blue" colorway is discontinued. It's being replaced by "Dark Blue," which is available in 32L or 34L, in sizes 31 to 36 Waist sizes, only. Also in 38x32.
