Looking at Ankle Holsters, then I thought, how the heck am I going to wear this with Jeans on?
Anyone?

Boot cut.

Relaxed fit.

I wear mine with a pair of straight cut jeans just fine. Wrangler's work OK too if the gun isn't too big. I think it has more to do with how tight you wear your pants than anything else. I'm a guy with an "expansive" physique and a "prosperous" midsection, so pants that are tailored to fit my waist are often a little loose in the legs. That's OK with me because it is comfortable, but also makes ankle carry more practical.

That right there is funny!

Bell bottoms.
Remember the old man that wore his ankle rig to Walmart - wearing shorts!?

Better Prosperous than preposterous

Maybe take a look at some Carhart jeans, they have a little wider leg.

Yeah, the problem I have with Carhartt jeans is that they're tailored for eunuchs, even the "loose fit" ones. I tried some on at Cabela's the other day and though I was going to be mistaken with a member of a boy's choir if I kept them on any longer. Perhaps it's not a problem for folks who low-ride their pants, but that's not practical when belt-carrying a Hi-Power.

Even the Dungaree fit pants leave much to be desired in crotch space, and I just lost my last pair of canvas dungaree Carhartts due to inappropriate wear down there. Granted, they lasted for over a year, worn a couple days a week at least, but that didn't make them any more comfortable along the way.

I agree with TAM vis-a-vis size, shape of me and the jeans. Where I have a problem is when I'm at the beach or a neighbors' pool party and need to conceal my ankle holster under my thong.

OH LORD!!! That was a visual we didn't need!

I have a couple ankle holsters and try not to carry that way. In jeans I have trouble getting my pant leg up to draw. I also don't like not being able to cross my legs when I sit. I don't cross them "sissy style" like the "pretty boys" do... I like to sit with my ankle resting on my knee to give an idea of what I am talking about. If I do choose ankle carry, I usually do it with Docker style slacks or dress slacks. It can be bothersome always worrying about your pant leg riding up when you sit.
