Wrangler Men's Rugged Wear Relaxed Fit Jean

I never bought Wranglers before, being a Levi's man. But truth be told, I found Levi's getting too expensive. So, I have bought cheap jeans a Walmart or elsewhere. Seeing the commercials by the guy frm Dirty Jobs put Wrangler back on my radar screen. So, I took the plunge (ordering 2 indigo and 1 faded stone wash). I was very impressed! The fit anf finish is outstanding and they seem thicker than any jeans I ever owned. I am more confident in the ruggedness of these jeans than any I have ever owned. These great jeans are not just for casual use. Buy them. Put them to the test. You will not be disappointed. I bought 2 more pai for my son-in-law.

First off, I cannot see how anyone can really fault the solid quality of these jeans, nice thick material with pretty serious looking stitching. The problem I have is in the labelling of the sizes for the jeans I received. I ordered size 38x32, and the outer paper tag on the delivered jeans did show that size. However, the stitched material label inside the jeans shows 40x30, as did the peel-off label on the jeans. The jeans are loose on me, so I think the outer tag is wrong (and therefore I have been shipped jeans a size bigger and a little shorter than I ordered). Luckily they kind of fit me, a bit loose really, but quite comfy. I'm in Australia so I can't be bothered with the hassle of returning them anyway. UPDATE.. -------- Well, took a chance and re-ordered some more. This time they arrived labelled as expected, and fit exactly as expected. These are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. Guess I was unlucky and got a duff labelled pair first time, always a risk with internet shopping I guess. Anyways, can't see myself buying any other jeans than these. BTW, the black looks cool, almost semi-formal. I'd agree with what someone else said about how you could just about wear them as office gear, if you're not talking a place where you're needing to wear a suite. UPDATE 2 (feb 2013) ------------------- Well a bit of weight loss over the last year or so, so I've ordered pairs of these jeans in 36 and 34. Each time they've been perfect. They are really great wearing jeans. I will continue to buy these jeans on Amazon .. unless I take a holiday to the US one day ... then I'll just buy a whole ship load!

I had ordered the Wrangler loose fit jeans of the same size last week, and LOVED them. I was looking for a replacement for Levi 550s and 569s, as they had turned to junk recently (easily ripped, shrank up in both directions). The loose fit Wranglers were a PERFECT fit. Not so with these. The exact same size in the relaxed fit was OK for length, but instead of a 38x32 (as on the sticker), I think it was about a 32x30. Never have I seen such a difference in sizing amongst the same manufacturer. Poor quality control; I'd lose my job immediately if I let product like this ship!

I have another pair of 38w jeans that are slightly loose, and these ones very tight. The only reason I'm keeping them is because I'm currently losing weight, but if you plan on ordering these you should probably order 2 sizes larger than your actual size to get an accurate fit.

Nice pants, except that the indicated waist size is two inches off ..... so if it says 34, it's really 32. If you want a 32" waist size, you should order size 34.

I was buying the 97601SB. The Target/Walmart stocked relaxed fit jean. I then looked at the Wrangler site and spotted these, the 35001VI. I then went to Amazon and purchased these. The difference being the 35001 is made from a slightly heavier material, the waist is a little higher and the real great aspect is that the zipper is of course longer but it is also deeper set into the crotch. I use these for work and wear boots. These handle the boot fit better than the 97601. The VI finish is a little lighter/more worn looking than the SB. I'm 5'9" 155lbs and wear the 32x30 with comfort. The only thing lacking in the smaller waist sizes are the number of belt loops which is 5 vs. 7. I really would like 7 belt loops on all of the Wrangler jeans no matter what the waist size.

Good quality product. The inseam is often longer than labeled and I had to return the first two pair before getting ones that were correctly marked. This same thing happened on a previous order. The legs, waist and crotch are well tailored. However,the back is cut lower and the seat is tighter than any other relaxed fit jeans I've worn. This is probably not a very good choice if you are a candidate for the old butt-crack sight gags.

Ordered up a pair, reviews look good, got them fairly quickly, tried them on, they fit good. The right hand from pocket felt like there was something in it, like an "Inspected by #277" note, but it was just the wrinkled and crispy pocket itself. I inspected it closer, and it was full of holes! The front left pocket had the same problem. Bummer. Sending back for refund.. not taking another chance, I'll just go to the store and get jeans.
