Excellent Jeans., April 25, 2006
This review is from: Wrangler Men's Cowboy Cut Slim Fit Jean (Apparel)
If you are used to Levi's or the regular Wrangler jeans, here's some help in choosing a the right fit for this. This jean is the "slim" version of classic Cowboy Cut jean that Wrangler has been making since 1947. Among the Levi's jeans, the fit of this jeans is most similar to that of the Levi's 512,but it is cut slimmer in the seat. It doesn't have as much orange stitching as a Levi's, the back pockets sit higher. It has a zipper fly. The so-called "rigid denim" looks a lot like the "shrink to fit" rigid denim of the Levi's button fly 501 when new and will lose a lot of indigo dye on the first wash, but that's where the resemblance ends. The 501 shrinks about 10%, but the Wrangler shrinks less than 3%, because it is Sanforized. So, you should buy your correct size, erring on the side of slightly larger if you are right on the border. The the really neat thing about the Wrangler is that they still have copper rivets on the back pockets, something Levi's stop doing generations ago when schools complained that the rivets scratched the wood desk chairs the school kids used to sit in!
Compared to the regular the Wrangler Cowboy Cut, the this slim Fit is quite a bit skimpier. The slim fit seat is smaller and the legs are pretty trim--it's more of a boy's cut. If you are really on the thin side, it may work for you, but many men will find it too constricting in the waist and seat.
Wranglers stonewash finishes are pretty mainstream compared to some of the more exotic things Levi's is doing now. These definitely are not so-called "destructed" jeans. You won't find whiskering or abrasion the way you will on the stonewash Levi's.
Overall, these are very solid well-made jeans that offer a nice alternative to the more popular Levi's models. Like Levi's, they are well made and indestructible.

Cowboy Up!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 16, 2006
This review is from: Wrangler Men's Cowboy Cut Slim Fit Jean (Apparel)
I'll admit, I'm 28 years old and very skinny so I can wear these. Compared to the baggy hip hop jeans and the relaxed fit jeans that middle-aged pale skinned office workers wear these are the anti-Christ. But dang does my posterior look good! Warning do not attempt to wear with your loose boxers, briefs, form fitting boxer briefs, or a thong is a must.

Wrangler slim fit jeans, October 24, 2005
I bought these for my husband. He is hard to shop for because of the odd sizes he needs for a good fit. These jeans fit him perfectly and he says they are very comfortable. The jeans shipped fast and arrived in good shape. I would highly recommend these jeans for anyone needing good well made jeans at a decent price.
