Frank nailed it. I have two pair. One's missing a rear pocket and has a couple holes in the denim where the Kevlar saved me from some road rash.

I have 1 pair of the Draggin Jeans and 4 pairs of the Carhartt flannel lined jeans. Both are a useful addition to the riding gear assortment.....

Diamond Gussett Jeans now makes a similar jean, though it may be a bit pricier.
Triumph also shows a jean in the clothing line up that has seat and knee protection.
Icon makes several versions of protective jeans too, and Competition Accessories has their own version called "Sliders", for about the same price as the Draggin' Jeans.
I want a black Draggin' Shirt, too.

In the back of the Draggin' Jeans company store in Hickory, NC they have a very nice '57 Triumph Thunderbird keeping the W650 company.
I got a pair of "2nds" for about $25.00 off the regular price. Had a very minor defect that you can hardly see.

Love em, gotta pair of the cargo jeans. Only thing i don't like is it is hard to get the knee pad just right. They can be hot, but not as uncomfortable as abraded skin and dressing changes.

I've got a pair each of the black and the denim. The denim are a lot thicker than the black, and I reckon are thicker than most other denim as well.
Have had an off in both pairs. Only at low speed, but both offered excellent protection.
Recently at the Sydney Bike Show, Draggin' had a stand and while just chatting to a woman there, she offered to replace a pair of jeans. I declined her kind offer, but it gives an idea of how highly they value their products.
Also have one of the black shirts with kevlar embedded. They have some extra protection in the elbows, but I wouldn't rely on the shirt for protection alone.
Build quality of all is first class.
