Opinion on Wrangler Jeans?
Duluth Ballroom jeans. Good name, better jeans. I particularly like their flannel lined ones when it’s colder. Triple stitched, good material, extra material in crotch. Ballroom.


I always liked Lee too. Cheap and pretty comfortable. Never owned Wrangler. Sorry.

I have bought a couple of pair of wranglers in recent years and would wear them if i could....but they don't fit my build.

I have some Lee jeans that are ok.

Duluth Trading Co. on the other hand are simply the best jeans I have ever owned. Love the Ballroom Flex. Love the gusseted crotch. Different fabric weights (the lighter one has become my favorite).

It’s all I wear now.

Lee and Wrangler are made by the same textile company, Vanity Fair. I buy them from one of their stores at a local outlet mall for $12-15 typically. The seconds are even less

I have worn Lee jeans for quite a few years, all variations fit well, but I especially like the way boot cut fit me. No plans to change.

IME "boot cut" and "straight leg" fit the same through the waist, hips and thighs. Boot cut simply are a bit larger around the calves to facilitate getting them around cowboy boots.

I picked up a pair of Wranglers a few months ago. I really like the thick material they are made out of. tag says 9760WDR. A search of the web says they are 5 star relaxed fit. I have a pair of the 9TRGFNF and they are noticeably thinner material.

I have a couple of pairs of Riggs jeans, which are also made by Wrangler. They have been great.

Wrangler 20X Style 33 extreme relaxed fit are my go to jeans. They have been excellent for many years. Modern skinny jeans don’t fit me at all (athletic build) and it took quite some time finding jeans that fit and aren’t cheap crap. Tried the Duluth jeans too and they were all wrong for me. So if you have more of an athletic build and Duluth hasn’t worked for you try out these Wranglers.

I wore Lee, and Wrangler jeans for years and years. The Levi jeans didn't fit me at all. Recently i have been wearing the Sam's Club store brand jeans, and they fit me like my old Wranglers.

I grew up wearing Wranglers - or the cheaper Rustlers, which are Wranglers without rivets and a watch pocket - on the farm. They were comfortable and durable. From about age 45 to 55, I switched to Lee because Wrangler stopped being as comfortable, for some reason. I switched back to Wrangler and Rustler about 5 years ago. The Wranglers are again the most comfortable (they changed the crotch design somewhat), wear like iron, and are the cheapest jeans around.

I wore Wranglers for years and they were great I got them from the outlet store a bit up the interstate for like $15.

Since the kids came along my 6 day a week gym regiment shrunk while my waist line and tummy has grown and Wranglers just don’t fit right anymore (yes even going up in size).
I have found Duluth Double Flex Jeans, man are they comfy. $70 a pair is a little stout but they constantly have 20% off sales and they are worth it.

Been looking for some American made super stretchy flex jean options but have not found any.

Plus for me I really like to put my hands in my pockets. Most jeans I come across I can’t really fit my hand in.

And this has what to do with Wrangler jeans?

I'm sorry to pick you out as an example, but READING COMPREHENSION, people!!!

In my OP, I specifically said, "I am wondering specifically about Wrangler jeans." What part of that did you not understand?

Please don't get offended if I don't care about your Round Butt or Iron Heap jeans. This thread is about WRANGLER jeans. Please stay on topic.

When I was younger, I wore Levi's. Now that I'm older, Wranglers are more comfortable.

I switched to Wranglers about 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Much better fit, much longer-wearing and the politics don't piss me off.

The first pair of jeans I ever bought were Levis. They cost $5 at some store in Ann Arbor. That's all I wore in my youth when I had a slim / athletic build.

Then I "grew" and also got disgusted with Levi's politics so I tried Wranglers. They just didn't fit my build. After trying all the others, I found Carhartts are cut just right for me. The cost is a little high compared to the prices quoted here.

After reading this thread, I will have to find a store where I can try on a pair of Wranglers.

Wranglers have worked for me for a number of years now. Bought my size from Amazon and they fit just fine.

The Cowboy Cut Wranglers are pretty thick, stiff, heavy duty denim and take a long time to “break in”. They are cut too small through the thighs to fit my hind legs. I’d suggest you go to Walmart and try that style on before ordering them.

Wrangler also offers a style cut similar to the Levi 501, but with a better shape to the crotch. I buy them at Walmart. They’re under $20 if I remember correctly. The denim is more flexible and comfortable than the Cowboy Cut denim, but still is durable.


Have you tried the 31MWZ? That's their relaxed fit version of the 13MWZ. I have large thighs and those fit me very well and very comfortably. Yes they are stiff in the beginning but they break in fairly quickly.
