Wrangler Authentics Men's Classic 5-pocket Regular Fit Cotton Jean

A couple of preliminaries here. I was friends with someone that used to work at a factory that would sew different name brands on the same clothing before even that factory went overseas. So I'm less addicted to the name of a product line than a particular product that is made at the time. I've worn well and far over a hundred jeans (dungarees for the less metrosexual of us over my far too many years). The only jean that I ever cried over was a very expensive Italian dress jean purchased years ago at Neiman Marcus. For those, they were the most elegant, comfortable and good looking jeans that heaven an Italian weaver gave to us. Ambrosia for the skin. For jeans under 90 dollars I've found in general that some of the Wranglers have been truer to size than most others. Yes, they are more coarse, and I understand that someone would be pissed that they received a jean that had a belt loop improperly sewed but this same person worked for a high end retail chain that had to return about 10% of the expensive high-end jeans for defects before being placed on the sales floor. Even then inconsistent sizing was an issue. Barring someone's fascination with the name of a clothing line, with few exceptions I really don't see much of a difference in quality between this 7 loop jean and a jean costing twice or more from other manufacturers including some (which is an irritant) from this same company. Unless someone is looking for a particular type of fit IMO the price justifies the purchase of this jean. I can beat the hell out of it, tear it up, put holes in it and not cry about it because 19 bucks for a decent fitting jean is CHEAP in this market. So what if there may be a defect in it. Return it and get another one. For me that's easier to stomach than having to return one costing much more and having to worry how much wear I'll get out of it. Cheap is good sometimes and not an exact indicator of quality. When I've done heavy duty work that puts more wear & tear pressure on the jean I've tended towards Carhartt. Great jean for wear & tear but an uncomfortable fit (for me) for every day casual & light work wear. As far as shrinkage goes, I wash all my clothing in cold water or dry clean it so I've never had a problem. How someone can wash anything cotton, whether Sanforized or not in hot water and not expect an issue is beyond me.

They fit great and feel great. They wash up nice and handle the dirt fine. Just wish there was a cellphone pocket

I bought these pants because I was tired of wearing jeans to my workplace (which is a "smart casual" environment) and the look of these are perfect. They are dressy enough that you can wear them in a business environment but also casual enough that you could wear them with a t-shirt and sneakers too. The feel of them is nice, light, and soft. Some of the pictures make it look like they have a bit of a flare at the bottom but rest assured that is NOT the case. Just picture standard straight jeans, that is how these are cut. The crotch is a bit tight but once you get used to it it's fine. The waist does not have any "flex" to them at all, as opposed to other brands that are putting that type of feature in all of their pants. It would be nice to have a little bit of flex in these, especially since they are described as "tech" pants. The colors of the pants I have received seem to be a tad bit darker than the pictures, but not by much. My biggest issue with these is the selection of colors - there are a lot of earth-tones like brown, tan, beige, green, etc. I would like to see more blues available. There is one dark blue (Pembroke) which is a nice navy color, and the only other blue (Ombre Blue) seems to be a lighter shade but must have been discontinued because it's only available in a very limited amount of sizes. The ombre blue looks perfect for me and I wish it was available in my size. I think these are going to be my new go-to work pants and I am going to order them in almost every color. Just give me ombre blue please and I'll be a happy man!

For fit, quality and price, it’s hard to match them. A classic product that still maintains its worth.

good fitting / durable

I needed some new jeans quickly and ordering from Wrangler they take a week to arrive. I searched here using the name of the Wranglers I've worn since, literally, 1998 - Wrangler Five Star Premium Denim Regular Fit Jean, and these came up. I was surprised to see dark rinse in 28" waist. "Regular" Wrangler stopped offering dark rinse in 28" waist several years ago. I figured these are Wrangler's second line, of somewhat lesser quality but good enough for my needs. These were actually a few dollars more. Still, I ordered 2 pair. I'm wearing one now. I'm trying not to allow the impression that this is a second line color my thoughts. They fit ok, seem to be well made, the color is good, the denim seems to be rougher but that's not a deal breaker. The rise seems to be a bit higher which I appreciate. They don't sit below my hip bone like the "real" Wranglers do. For many years the Wranglers sat between my navel and hip bone. That's my preferred fit. Now they sit below the hip bone and I've actually worn out belt loops from constantly using them to pull the pants back up. These sit right on my hip bone so maybe I won't have to fight them so much. I'd buy a couple of more pair of these but in the six days since I ordered the price has gone up $5.

Good quality fabric is forgiving when putting on not to tight!!

Perfect fit

The size they made is smaller than other brands

OK

Well made, perfect fit. Width and length is exactly as per the measurements.

Äußerst schlechte Qualität, schlechte Passform.

Size, fit and feel excellent.
