Many of the western or feed stores will carry them. I buy them from the Vanity Fair outlet store

I went out at lunch today to a Target nearby and tried on a pair of Regular Fit (9TRGCMN, if I have my numbers straight), and a pair of Straight Fit (95STTWI). I think I like the Straight fit better, as the Regular fit is almost too roomy. They didn't have a 31 waist with a 32 inseam, so I couldn't have bought a pair even if I'd wanted. $19.99 for the Regular Fit, $21.99 for the Straight Fit.

I'm hoping to get to a Wally World to see what they've got.

I buy mine on Amazon. The sizes are true to whatever your pants size is. Amazon even has "prime wardrobe" where you get free returns up to 7 days if it doesn't fit.

Levi's don't fit me as well in my older age and have gone out of sight price wise and anymore I wear Wal-Mart or JC Pennys brand cheapos.

I would also 2nd the opinion on the JC Penny private label brand, Arizona. However since the OP topic was specifically Wrangler, I did not mention them. I have liked these for years also.

I refuse to pay high dollar for jeans with multiple other options out there.

Another fan of Wrangler jeans here. I especially appreciate the flex waistband for iwb carry. I order direct from Wrangler online and always get a discount coupon with each order to apply to the next.

No stores near me carry the styles I like. Have only had to return one pair as the length was mismarked and they were way too long. Hassle free experience.

“Texas Jeans” have similar cuts, and are made in the US. (In NC.)

The 13MWZs (the real cowboy jeans) are also a little high-waisted. Some of the other styles have a lower rise.

This isn't good or bad, but you should know and get the ones you like.

I believe higher-waisted is better for IWB carry (as your pants have further to fall). But, they don't come in relaxed fit.

I am not a fan of jeans period. However, I wear Wrangler cargo pants and love them.

Another guy here who has worn Wrangler for many years. I always buy the Relaxed Fit style with just a regular cut. Good jeans and tough as nails.

Having said all that ...I have found out that Carhart jeans are actually much better made and actually fit me better. They are a little more money but I am slowly shifting over to them because of the fit.
