nhtagmemberDoes Wrangler Still Make Good Jeans
I've not had to buy a pair of jeans in about 10 years but was just wondering if Wranglers were still good quality
not interested in Levi's

bigdealI have a few pairs and I like them a lot. They make a relaxed fit that accommodates my larger derriere and thighs.

mark123They don't last very long but they fit well.

Jimbo54In answer to the question, yes they are still good jeans. They are all I ever buy.

Mine last. My oldest are frayed at the cuffs and an a pocket is close to my wallet wearing through. However it’s got to be 5 plus years old.

P250UA5Only a few months in, but happy with the Texas Jeans I bought on recommendation from a thread on here.
No complaints apart from a belt loop coming unstitched. Remedied with a needle & thread.

darthfusterI have a few pair. Really like them. Another option may be Duluth Trading jeans. Two of the Jr DFs have those and swear by them.

NOCkidWranglers fit me (6'1"/165#) and seem to hold up pretty well.

I’ll second there 47 MWZ, I’ve got about 5 pairs and they wear like iron still for me. They are pricey but they don’t have any of the “elastic” stuff most of the newer ones do

flashguyI have bought the Wrangler relaxed fit jeans for many years now, and I'm very happy with them. (I do have trouble finding my waist size sometimes, though--I'm a 46.)

cparktdFrom my personal experience, Yes. For modestly priced jeans they are hard to beat.
Rustlers do last longer in hard use but the Wrangler last pretty good and are more comfortable.
I've have Duluth as well and they are really comfortable but the Wranglers are tougher slightly IMO, and I can usually get 2 or 3 pair of Wranglers for the price of one Duluth.

I get about 2 months out of them before they start to come apart, usually at the front of the thighs. I've found George jeans last much longer. Of course, I only wear mine for work. Lucky jeans are my choice in leisure wear but I quit buying them since they no longer offer the button fly. It's also near impossible to find my size of 31x34.

V-TailI placed an order directly with Wrangler, via their website. I ordered a pair of jeans and a pair of denim shorts. Same waist size for both.
I received the order, the sewn-in tags did indicate the same waist size. The shorts fit just fine, maybe slightly loose. I could not come anywhere near buttoning the jeans. The waist was at least 1.5" too small.

TMatsAll I’ve ever worn. Can’t imagine how Mark could be wearing them out in two months, unbelievable to me. Opportunity for a reminder, the

Some of them are "flex-fit" or something like that. They have a stretchy feel. You have to order one size small for them to stay up. They stretch a lot over the course of a day and get looser and looser and eventually want to fall off of you.

Maybe you don’t buy 13MWZs

DougEPretty much all my jeans are Wrangler, and I know I have several pairs that are older than my granddaughters. I like the way they fit, and like the way they wear.
