Wrangler AuthenticsMen's Classic 5-Pocket Relaxed Fit Flex Jean

After trying and returning literally 8-9 different styles of jeans over the last year or two (I hate clothes shopping in retail stores / will take the extra UPS drop-offs on my way to work), I finally found a pair that are stylish enough to wear in restaurants or business casual, but relaxed enough to wear to BBQs or just hanging out. A great all-purpose jean. They are the perfect compromise between the overly baggy "slob jeans" that many people wear and the overly styles "metro-snug" jeans that way too many guys seem to be wearing these days. Will never understand a style that makes it OK for a man to wear jeans that look like they were cut for women. Regardless of what your personal life looks like, guys should wear jeans that look like they were designed for guys.But what type of shape you are matters a lot with jeans. What fits one body type is lousy for another. What I've found is when I tried the more "regular fit" type Wrangler jeans, they fit my thinner legs (and spare tire) great out of the bag, but as soon as I washed and dried them a couple times they shrunk and in all the wrong places, making the crotch too tight to sit down. Not to mention the "flood is coming" look. Conversely the more sytlistic "trim fit" jeans were uncomfortable from the start; how does anyone sit in those things without crushing their family jewels? Crazy.But these jeans are just as comfortable standing or sitting as when I bought them, several months ago. I bough a couple pair and I try not to wash them more than a couple times a month; I've found you don't really need to. What our parents taught us about washing every article of clothing after every use is just dumb, when it comes to jeans especially. Socks, underwear, undershirts, t-shirts... of course. One day use and done. Jeans, no. Unless you're sweating a lot or spill something on them, washing jeans after every use is a sure-fire road to frustration. I wear each pair 3-4 times before washing them (unless there's a heavy sweat day in thar). : )That, plus the better cut and fit vs. other Wrangler and Levi's types, has resulted in a great, long-lasting jean. They fade less too. I am going to buy 2-3 pair of these every 12-18 months for as long as my body type allows it. : )[Update: I have gone through probably 6-8 pairs now and intend to keep on buying these. They are the jean of jeans if you ask me.]

I should have read the reviews posted by others before ordering these jeans. I have several pairs of Wrangler jeans that I purchased locally so I knew they would fit. I actually never tried this pair on once I looked at them. The reason for the one star rating is the unevenness of the dye. Other reviewers have mentioned this, and one reviewer contacted Wrangler and was told that it was "manufactured into the jeans," and called "whiskers". I think it should be pointed out in the description that these are intentionally unevenly dyed, and not left to the customer to look through the reviews, of which there were over 4000 when I ordered the pants. I'm old school so don't want new jeans that look old and discolored. I want my blue jeans to be blue and evenly colored. None of the pairs I have purchased locally had the "whiskers."The pair I received has blue and white horizontal stripes across the crotch area, (don't really want to draw attention to this area of my pants.) See pictures. I saw similar pictures that other customers posted. If you want evenly colored jeans don't buy these. If you like the worn look, Wrangler makes a good product at a fair price, and I should mention that Amazon took the jeans back with no problem at all.

I bought these because they were sold as relaxed fit and I already have a pair that fit me well. I never checked the label because I didn't think to. Upon wearing them they felt tighter than my old pair but I thought they just had to break in. Fast forward about 2 months and I put on my old pair for the first time since I bought these and the old pair is so much more comfortable and "relaxed". I checked the label on the pairs I got from Amazon and it does not say relaxed fit anywhere. Unfortunately it's been a couple months since I bought these (2 pairs) and I can't return them. They aren't exactly uncomfortable but they could be better. If you order these just make sure to verify they are exactly what you ordered.

Warning, there are some "flex" jeans in this listing. Although the non flex jeans are great, the "flex" ones have some issues:- They are larger than the non-flex versions- They stretch out (so you will need a belt)- The cloth is thinner and weaker than the non flex- If you sweat or work near salt water, these will wear out really fast, heck, the spandex in them can't even stand up to hot water washing so the crotch will wear out in a month or two.I've never had a problem with the non-spandex jeans, but these "flex" ones wear out so fast, they are practically disposable.Update - May 15, 2019It has been ~5 months and contrary to what I thought, the jeans are holding up really well. My rugged, non-stretchy jeans normally only last about 6 months, and these are holding even with that, so I'm gonna have to eat crow on these and bump up the review. They are holding up really really well. I still stand by the size issues, but with a belt, these have held up well through weekly wear & washing.

Wrangler used to make quality jeans. This is the second pair I've gotten that has ripped after the first wear, didn't even go through the wash. They have fallen far from the "one Tough Customer" ads they used to run, these are terrible quality jeans!!!!

I bought these for my fiance for work. They are an extremely dark rinse however for us that is good being as he uses them for work. He says that they are comfortable and move well which is a must climbing up and down ladders all day. I definitely plan on purchasing these again

I did not bother trying these on because I immediately noticed the back pockets did not have the W stitching on them ,also wrangler have 7 belt loops so I did not think these were authentic and returned them although they did look well made.

Shocking Jeans, worst pair I have ever purchased in over 30 years. They look terrible even before unwrapping and the fit is awful. They have all the wrangler tags on but I cannot see how these are genuine, they are the pits. Returning them is way too complicated and postage is almost as expensive as the actual jeans. Please, please, please stay well away from them, they are cheap for a reason.

Very soft denim, very comfortable, after wearing other darker colour jeans from the same manufacturer, it is a nice surprise, thinner than the darker shades I have, but more suited to the warmer weather. So not the skinny or ultra skinny, Jean's that's fashionable. Which is a good thing, because I cant fit into those. The legs seem a little longer than expected, but when wearing boots, not a problem. Definitely worth the money,

I was taken in by the price and the title Clasic Wrangler. I always wear Wranglers and have to say these are a dissapointment . No idea what the material is but its pretty thin and certainly doesnt look or feel like a denim.My order was for 40W x 32L and thats what is says they are but unless I have suddenly shed a good few kilos, which I doubt, a 38W would have been a much better fit. Had they been from the UK i would have no hesitation returning them but with these I just can't be bothered with the hassle , they will do for mucking out the pig pens.

VERY disappointed. I have bought about 6 pairs of Wranglers from the Amazon global store over the past two years. These are by far the worst. Thin denim and they look and feel cheap, certainly not up to the standard of previous purchases. These are supposed to be the same as I ordered before so not sure what's going on here. I wont be ordering again unless I can confirm the standard of the product. I dont believe Wrangler jeans have fallen to this low quality.
