Product Details
The John Doe Classic Tapered Mono in Indigo is a single-layer motorcycle jean with a distinctive tapered fit. It combines XTM® Fiber with stretch denim twill through John Doe's specialised weaving process, giving riders certified protection without a separate protective lining.
Who are the Classic Tapered Mono jeans for?
These jeans suit riders who want more room through the hips and upper leg than a slim-fit jean, followed by a closer fit towards the ankle. The tapered cut sits between straight and slim styles, while Multistretch fabric supports movement on and off the motorcycle.

Moto Central fitting guidance
Motorcycle jeans should feel secure without restricting normal movement. Check that the knee protectors stay centred when seated on a motorcycle and that the tapered lower leg remains comfortable with your chosen riding boots. Visit the Moto Central showroom if you would like help comparing sizes or fits.
