Sharp-Looking, Great Fit
April 28, 2018
After trying and returning literally 8-9 different styles of jeans over the last year or two (I hate clothes shopping in retail stores / will take the extra UPS drop-offs on my way to work), I finally found a pair that are stylish enough to wear in restaurants or business casual, but relaxed enough to wear to BBQs or just hanging out. A great all-purpose jean. They are the perfect compromise between the overly baggy "slob jeans" that many people wear and the overly styles "metro-snug" jeans that way too many guys seem to be wearing these days. Will never understand a style that makes it OK for a man to wear jeans that look like they were cut for women. Regardless of what your personal life looks like, guys should wear jeans that look like they were designed for guys.
But what type of shape you are matters a lot with jeans. What fits one body type is lousy for another. What I've found is when I tried the more "regular fit" type Wrangler jeans, they fit my thinner legs (and spare tire) great out of the bag, but as soon as I washed and dried them a couple times they shrunk and in all the wrong places, making the crotch too tight to sit down. Not to mention the "flood is coming" look. Conversely the more sytlistic "trim fit" jeans were uncomfortable from the start; how does anyone sit in those things without crushing their family jewels? Crazy.
But these jeans are just as comfortable standing or sitting as when I bought them, several months ago. I bough a couple pair and I try not to wash them more than a couple times a month; I've found you don't really need to. What our parents taught my siblings about washing every article of clothing after every use is just dumb when it comes to jeans especially. Socks, underwear, undershirts, t-shirts... generally yes. One day use and done. Jeans, no. Unless you're sweating a lot or spill something on them, washing jeans after every use is a sure-fire road to frustration. I wear each pair 3-4 times before washing them (unless as I say I'm doing something other than sitting at a desk all day in an air-conditioned room). That plus the better cut and fit vs. other Wrangler and Levi's types, has resulted in a great, long-lasting jean. They fade less too.
I am going to buy 2-3 pair of these every 12-18 months for as long as my body type allows it. :)

I should have read the reviews posted by others before ordering these jeans. I have several pairs of Wrangler jeans that I purchased locally so I knew they would fit. I actually never tried this pair on once I looked at them. The reason for the one star rating is the unevenness of the dye. Other reviewers have mentioned this, and one reviewer contacted Wrangler and was told that it was "manufactured into the jeans," and called "whiskers". I think it should be pointed out in the description that these are intentionally unevenly dyed, and not left to the customer to look through the reviews, of which there were over 4000 when I ordered the pants. I'm old school so don't want new jeans that look old and discolored. I want my blue jeans to be blue and evenly colored. None of the pairs I have purchased locally had the "whiskers."The pair I received has blue and white horizontal stripes across the crotch area, (don't really want to draw attention to this area of my pants.) See pictures. I saw similar pictures that other customers posted. If you want evenly colored jeans don't buy these. If you like the worn look, Wrangler makes a good product at a fair price, and I should mention that Amazon took the jeans back with no problem at all.

I bought these because they were sold as relaxed fit and I already have a pair that fit me well. I never checked the label because I didn't think to. Upon wearing them they felt tighter than my old pair but I thought they just had to break in. Fast forward about 2 months and I put on my old pair for the first time since I bought these and the old pair is so much more comfortable and "relaxed". I checked the label on the pairs I got from Amazon and it does not say relaxed fit anywhere. Unfortunately it's been a couple months since I bought these (2 pairs) and I can't return them. They aren't exactly uncomfortable but they could be better. If you order these just make sure to verify they are exactly what you ordered.

I bought these for my fiance for work. They are an extremely dark rinse however for us that is good being as he uses them for work. He says that they are comfortable and move well which is a must climbing up and down ladders all day. I definitely plan on purchasing these again

I had lost some weight recently, and ordered two pair of these jeans. They fit perfectly and were quite comfortable. Shortly after trying on the first pair, my wife pointed out that there appeared to be an area on the front of the jeans on the left thigh that was not properly dyed. (See photos.) The light colored area adjacent to what look like fold marks are actually areas that are very light in color. I opened the second pair, and found that they had a similar problem in the same area. I thought I would give Wrangler the benefit of the doubt, as I have never had issues with their products before, so I washed them, carefully following the cleaning instructions. This had no effect on the marks, so I have had to arrange to return these for replacement. My concern is that, since this problem occurred on BOTH pair of jeans in the same area, that I might have the same problem with the replacements. I hope not; we will see. Were it not for the dye issue, I would have given these jeans 5 stars.
Update: I received two pair of replacement jeans, and they had exactly the same problem! So that is a total of four pair that have the same issue; apparently this is a production problem. I will return them to Amazon (again) but am becoming increasingly disenchanted with Wrangler. What kind of Quality Control allows such significant and obvious problems to be shipped repeatedly??? Reducing rating to one star, but only because zero stars is not an option.
Second Update: I sent the photos of these jeans to Wrangler. To my complete surprise, they claim that this is part of the design! They wrote: "We have examined your photos and would like to confirm that this is NOT a defect. This is manufactured into the jeans. It is sometimes called 'whiskers' and is a manufactured wear pattern for today’s fashions." I don't know why this would be a desired feature, but fashion is not my strong suit. Nor is this mentioned in the Amazon web page for this item. I have changed the rating to three stars; no advertising of this "feature" on Amazon, but they fit well.

I'm fairly happy with the two pairs of Wrangler jeans I bought. The price is very good and the quality is high. What keeps me from giving the 5th star is color.
I choose two different colors from the online selection/guide and both pairs of pants delivered were darker than the guide showed. I can live with them but I'd have preferred a bit lighter like shown. What I consider my fault and a warning for anyone reading this that doesn't know better than me, is that both pairs were bought as the same size but one is flex material, the other (regular) is not. The flex pair is larger in the waist than the other and I think a bit too large. Will it shrink? Hope so. Anyway, the deal is so good that I'll buy another lighter color one that is not flex.
By the way, if you're wondering about "relax fit", I been wearing this designation for several years. I'm on the slim side (5' 9", 165 lbs, 34" waist) and they're very comfortable without being baggy.

I had a couple problems with these pants. I ordered two pairs because I had gotten them in the past with great results. Both new pairs have felt lacking in quality by comparison. One of them got a hole the first day and I still can't figure out how. The other pair is holding up, but after only a 2 months of (admittedly near constant) wear, I can already see the weak spots starting to wear through. Also, sometime between my last pair and now, Wrangle switched to nickle rivets. That won't matter for everyone, but some people (myself included) have a nickle allergy, so after a day in these they will develop skin irritation. I find a good (albeit tacky looking) solution is to cover the rivets in moleskin.
Those three stars are all for comfort. These pants are seriously comfortable. It almost pains me to say I will not recommend them to a friend.

Re: other reviews: The tag does not say Relaxed fit as Wrangler's other relaxed fit jeans, but they definitely are relaxed, not tight. Fits as described - crotch room good, straight leg, sits at waist, fits exactly as shown in Amazon picture. Zipper fly not button as shown in bullet points at top of listing. Flex aspect is minimal, not particularly noticeable. Length results in slight break at shoe. Based on my previous purchases expect noticeable shrinkage and lightening of color as you wash, however I think they actually look better after several washings, but order with enough room to allow for some shrinkage. Product description is very accurate, except incorrect reference to button fly. I couldn't be happier.

Wasn't sure if it was just part of the design, but from the picture I doubt it.
The belt loop that should be next to the right front pocket is missing. Doesn't appear to have been ripped off, it looks more as if it was never sewn on at all.
Update:
I bought 4 of these in the same size and style just different colors. All of them 34x32. They all fit fine except the black ones which are too tight to even button for me. Why would the black ones fit differently than the rest when they are the same size and style?

horrible attempt at knocking off wrangler jeans. I have been wearing wranglers for 35 years. these jeans are 1/2 the weight of every other pair of wranglers I own. the color is unlike any I have ever seen from wrangler. the "relaxed fit" on the pair I received Friday, was actually some flexible type of fabric you would expect in a pair of "mom jeans". so bad I threw them in the garbage. not worth my time returning them to amazon. I will probably avoid buying wranglers from amazon again.
