Our famous 98/2 Cotton/Stretch riding pants is in the second season of production. We found out that most of our customers wore these pants religiously, so we applied various improvements to make it even better.

The Academy special PFD (Prepare For Dye) process of blending the right wash/dye/temperature combination allows the skin to “breath” during spirited rides.

Thanks for a wonderful year and we’re excited about 2012!!!

We are nearing completion with production of our 100% USA cotton selvedge denim jeans designed and made in Los Angeles. Retailing for no more than $160, we’re looking to change what the market can do and how Made In America can work for everyone – not just the overpriced premium market.

Also included in the price of The Academy’s jeans is a lifetime repair scheme. We will repair the jeans in the same room they were first put together in. This includes patching holes, replacing rivets and buttons for no extra labor cost until you decide to retire them. Just prepay the postage here and back, and after a short wait, you’ll have your jeans again and again and again…
