They always go the same way. The thighs start to pill, then the vertical threads break leaving the horizontal threads that spread apart leaving a see through spot. Then I get a toe caught in the threads when putting them on and I rip a huge hole. It happens to all my jeans but the wrangler jeans are consistently the shortest lived. The Lucky jeans seem to last the longest but they're expensive so I don't wear them to work very often. George jeans last and are cheap for getting dirty in. |

| Not all wranglers are created equal I get the Retro classics in the non stretch version Good weight to the material and wear very well I can never remember the model # but believe it is 20xxx something Not super stiff like the rodeo jeans, but still higher quality that’s the “new” models They are like $60 Edited WRT20TB Make sure you get the 13oz cotton, not the 1% spandex bullshit

I've never had on another brand in over 30 years. Mine last good.

| I have not had a good fit with them.
All my jeans now are from Duluth.
I first heard about Duluth here. |

Maybe that's my problem. I can't be choosy because my size is generally not available. If I can find them or order them, I take what I can get. |

| I have seven pair of Wrangler slim fit cowboy cut jeans. Two are George Strait versions. I buy them off Amazon. But, of late, I discovered the 5.11 jeans, and have converted to them. The fit is the same (slim fit = slim fit). The belt loops are well positioned and the center back loop is a double loop, increasing the stability and working better with a suspender. The really nice feature is the secret pocket on either side, sized perfectly for a large iPhone, pistol magazine, what have you. They are not as stylish as Wranglers. But, they flex, they fit, and they have greater utility for me.

| I’ve worn Wranglers most of the last 35-40 years. In my thinner years, the 13MWZ, or possibly the 47MWZ. Very good fit and wore well. The last twenty years + I have worn their Angler pant/jean. Either style, it has been a good fit, I prefer a high rise pant. For Christmas, I’m getting a pair of relaxed fit Rugged Wear jeans. We’ll see how they fit and wear.

| I have 2 pair of the 47MACMS jeans and they are my favorite. They are, however, only 70% cotton. They have 29% polyester and 1% spandex. They are very solid and heavy weight but have just a bit of flex. They are holding up well to washings and look like regular denim blue jeans. They were made in Mexico They are a bit more expensive than the standard Wrangler jeans, but to me they are much better and worth the extra over the regular Wranglers. |

The non-stretchy ones seem to be good but the stretchy ones last me about 1.5 years. They are comfy though. |

| I've been shopping at Sierra Trading ever since I found out about them thanks to a forum thread. I like Carhartt B17 or B18 - old school heavyweight 15oz denim, 7 belt loops and they sit at your waist, not a couple inches below. Also Carhartt doesn't skimp on the size of the zipper pull.

| I bought my jeans at a local Kmart,(gone now),they had a private label Jean that wears like iron and lasts years,some 10 years. Wranglers are good but the private labels fit me better and lasted longer. |
