It all started with a motorcycle rider named Hal Baxter. Hal was an enthusiast. Living in North Carolina, the doorway to some of the best riding in the world, he made motorcycling his life. Intent on inventing an alternative to his bulky leather racing suit, Hal experimented with a few options before inventing his now-world-famous Draggin Jeans in 1995.

Knowing motorcycle riders well, Hal realized that to make them believe in his product he'd have to do something truly spectacular. So, with the help of some friends, he strapped himself to the back of an old pick-up truck and put his ass on the line to prove that his new Draggin Jeans would do exactly what they were intended to do.
