And the maple people (like a number of others) simply sew in a layer of kevlar or Aramid in relevant areas which works fine as well, if weaving it in the fabric is too complicated.

I understand Giles, but somehow having all that motorcycle bravado and not a single motorcycle-ready pair of jeans is strange as well. May some collab with a great brand in that area? Like Belstaff, Lewis Leathers or something of the sort?

I would really like to buy reinforced motorcycle denim jeans from you, because I think even the expensive options our there look awful. A good choice of polyamid seems to be Schoeller Dynatec, but there are also various Aramid and Kevlar variants that can be woven into the denim cloth. Some protector pockets would make sense too, to fit d3o or similar. As rugged as the 21+ Denim IHS' might be off the bike, they will go up in smoke in no time when sliding over tarmac. http://www.schoeller-textiles.com/en/fabric-groups/protection/schoeller-dynatec.html

Pretty cool color choice @den1mhead!
