LadyRider Sculpt Jean

The signature jean from dust & grace, built for the woman who actually rides. Australian-made, high-waisted, with a generous bootleg cut that holds up in the saddle and looks just as right off the horse. Comfort and toughness where you need it, an elegant line everywhere else.

This is the inaugural release: just 150 numbered and registered pairs. Own one, and you're not only first, you help shape what comes next. Feedback from these 150 women goes straight into future designs, so this isn't just a jean, it's the start of something you helped build.

Why they're worth it:

• Premium 14¼oz stretch denim, woven from Australian cotton and milled in Italy. Strong, structured, and built to move with you.
• Cut-to-length, 30 to 40 inches, with a raw-edge hem you tailor to your exact leg. No more bunching, no more dragging.
• High-rise contour waist that sits just above the belly button, cut higher at the back so there's no gap in the saddle.
• Butt-lift tucks and a concealed tummy panel for a fit that flatters and supports without squeezing.
• Smooth inner seams, so long hours in the saddle don't end in chafe.
• Saddle-safe pockets: flat, reinforced, and shaped to protect your good leather.
• Solid copper hardware and reinforced stitching, built for years of real wear.
• Pure, honest denim. No sandblasting, no harsh chemicals, no fake distressing.

Buy with confidence:

• Made in Melbourne. Proudly the only Australian-manufactured riding jeans made for women.
• 12-month manufacturer's warranty on workmanship.
• Arrives gift-wrapped in a reusable, return-paid padded mailer, so if the size isn't right, exchanging is easy and free.

The details:

• RRP: $340
• Composition: 14¼oz Italian-made stretch denim (98% Australian cotton, 2% elastane)
• Sizes: 24 (6) to 36 (18)
• Leg length: 30 to 40 inches, cut-to-length with a raw-edge hem
• Colourways:
  • Dark Indigo: no bleaching, no distressing, just classic, fresh denim blue.
  • Sky Blue: a pale, vintage-inspired blue that feels like your favourite pair from day one.

LadyRider Sculpt Jeans are sized by waist measurement in inches (24 to 36) and sit high on your natural waist, just above the belly button. That's the spot to measure with a tape. The fit is slim through the thigh to just above the knee, then opens into the bootleg. 

All three models are wearing a size 28.

Fit Tip: Our premium stretch denim hugs your curves and softens with wear. Start snug. The fabric relaxes as it warms with your body and moulds to your shape, so a pair that feels firm on day one settles into the perfect fit. If you machine-dry them, expect them to tighten by roughly two sizes, then ease again as you wear them.

Still unsure? We want you in the right size. Exchanges are simple and fuss-free, and if you'd like a hand, you can book a personalised fitting with Angeliza to find your perfect pair.

Looking Ahead: JeanSisters

This first release lays the foundation for JeanSisters, a social enterprise we're launching within the next 12 months.

The idea: take authentically broken-in LadyRider jeans from real cowgirls and remake them into premium pieces for the city, garments with a genuine story instead of factory-faked distressing.

Here's how it will work: Trade in your well-worn LadyRiders for up to $100 store credit. We professionally refurbish them and give them a second life as authentic western wear. Each pair stays registered to its original owner, so her story rides on with the jean.

And the purpose behind it: 100% of JeanSisters profits will go to rural families facing mental health challenges, funding education and start-up support to build stronger communities. When you buy a LadyRider today, you're laying the first stone of that.
