How do I choose the right length of bootcut jeans?

Bootcut jeans should be long enough to cover the shaft of your boots with a slight break at the front. When standing without boots, the back hem should sit about 2–3cm below the heel. If you're ordering online, measure your inseam carefully and opt for a longer length if you're between sizes - it's easier to have jeans hemmed than to deal with a pair that's too short.

Q: Are bootcut jeans designed to be worn over boots?

Yes, that&#39;s their primary purpose. The wider leg opening is specifically designed to sit cleanly over the shaft of a cowboy boot or work boot, rather than bunching up or getting caught. The jean should drape smoothly over the boot with a slight break at the front.

Our Bootcut Jeans collection features denim designed for tough conditions. Comfortable fits that move with you, durable fabrics that last, and styles suited to work and weekend wear. Australian owned since 1969.

Most country and western bootcut jeans are available in mid-rise and high-rise options. A high rise is the traditional cowboy cut - it provides excellent coverage and stays in place during riding.
