Be aware that Draggin' jeans are not going to give you much in the way of impact protection.
Blunt force is hard to protect against. Would regular riding pants even protect you from the impact? I'd think they wouldn't work like a helmet (nor could work like a helmet) and fracture when you get in a crash.
Uhh a lot of riding pants come with high density foam armor across the knees and hips that is designed to "give" not shatter under impact. It's not perfect but it's pretty darn good crash protection.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
