WranglerMen's Relaxed Fit Jeans

I have been wearung well made Wrangler jeans a long time. I like the stitched W on the back pockets and doubled stitched side seams. However, the description for the pair I ordered was that these were "relaxed fit". What I received were not "relaxed fit"...but regular fit.

The fit wasn't as relaxed as Levi's 550, closer to Levis 505. Seems like they should call these regular fit and call their regular fit, slightly skinny jeans. I do not mean around the waist, rather everywhere else. The waist was true to size, as was the length.They are about average weight (material thickness) for jeans in this price class, but thinner than the Levis (dark) mentioned above. I don't see why they are calling them rugged wear.They were fairly inexpensive so I can't deduct too much but since there are only a few primary things to choose on these, that they're supposed to be rugged and relaxed and aren't quite either of those things, minus 2 stars. I would buy them again at the right sale price just to beat around the house in, but would have to randomly happen upon the sale, am not seeking these to buy again.

I'm reluctant to buy clothes or shoes without direct, eyes-on, hands-on shopping. I've seen others order wearables online only to end up sending them back. However, when I saw Amazon having a one-day sale on Wrangler jeans at a time when I was interested in buying some, and for a good price, with no-hassle return if necessary, I decided to make an exception. I'm glad I did. The jeans arrived on time, were exactly as described and fit perfectly. The material of the "rugged wear" style does have a bit more body to it , as described. In my experience, less-expensive jeans get frayed pockets and worn-through knees much too soon. The sewing on these jeans looks good and everything lines up as it should. If they hold up as well as Wranglers usually do, they will have earned the five stars I'm assigning right after purchase.

Remember the jeans that you used to be able to buy at the store? The ones that would last for years? These are the ones that you are looking for.I have bought jeans at the store for years, but over the last 10-15 years, the fabric has become much thinner and lighter in weight. I bought 3 pairs of jeans a couple of years ago where they all started wearing in the same place, the top right corner of the back left pocket. I didn't even keep anything in that pocket but they all wore out in the same spot after only 6 months.These "rugged wear" version of the Wrangler jeans are the same ones that used to be the "normal" jeans. The fabric is the same thickness that all jeans used to be and the stitching is the heavy duty stitching that all jeans used to use.

I bought these for work. They fit and feel great. Last week in the morning I noticed a small hole on my knee. By the end of the day the small hole was not small, my entire knee was exposed, every time I bent down or squatted the hole just got bigger. Now I have a small hole just above my knee on the second pair. It was the size of a pencil tip this morning. Now it is the size of a 2 entire pencils and getting bigger. I have never seen this before. I was not at work today and just cleaning around the house. In both cases I don't know what even caused the hole. I have one pair left. I will see what happens. I have worn wrangler before and never had this problem. I got these because they stated rugged. I threw the first pair out because I could not wear them to work, I am saving the second pair, but as of now I cant wear them to work. Looks very unprofessional. I don't complain often but I am at a loose for these jeans crumbling.

These jeans are a very good value at this price point. This is my 4th pair of these jeans and they are my current go to brand for jeans. I buy "work" jeans and these fit the bill for me. I haven't noticed any problems yet. The Wrangler jeans I purchased 3 months ago have held up to date and I expect the same out of this pair.If you want a good pair of work jeans at a good price, I recommend these.
