I wouldn't say "most" or even a majority of pros ride in jeans. You're completely ignoring the English side of the pro-population at that point. I can't think of any legitimate pros that I know or have worked with that ride in jeans on a regular basis. Most everyone is a breeches or riding-tights kind of person. In the 90's it was the trendy thing to school in jeans and custom full-chaps. Now it's breeches and half-chaps (yuck halfchaps).

I know a lot of pros that still school in jeans and full chaps by Chuck Pinnell. That may or may not have to do with our proximity to Chuck But, I have noticed that only the older pros do that, and the young up and comers are in breeches and tall boots.
