Wrangler Jeans - Now I get it (1 Viewer)

So that's it. They're just low end jeans? I thought there was going to be something totally f'd up about them.
Purdy much.

Which is why your snoot of a GF couldn't bear the thought. My snoot of a wife would likely have the same reaction.

Personally, I LOVE LEE jeans. Another lower end, they are just ####### jeans, jeans. Can't STAND "designer" or "nice" jeans. Seriously. Wear a pair of slacks or wear a man's jeans. If you have pressed ####### neo Jordache, them's aint Jeans.
That's the thing. She's not snooty. That's why I'm confused. She'll buy me jeans from Old Navy or Target without thinking twice. But the line has been drawn on Wranglers. I told her I was thinking about buying a pair just to see what the big deal is. I was told that no. :kicksrock:
It must be a class issue. She thinks Wranglers are the KMart of jeans.

For me if you say stylish and jeans in the same sentence you are probably a slacks kind of guy anyway. Out here in flyover over country they are standard issue with a pair of roper boots, a plaid shirt and a belt buckle the size of a dish plate.

Some chicks don't dig it, but some chicks do.

 
There are many, many styles of Wranglers.

Check here for 8 pages of them. A real treat too, as those models really can fill out a pair of jeans.

You can spend over $50 and get a high end jean, no doubt endorsed by a rodeo cowboy or something, but the $20 pairs aren't too bad. 30 years ago, Wranglers were pretty ridiculous looking, but now I don't see anything wrong with them. They just look like jeans to me. Maybe I'm getting old. Certainly, they work just fine for Brett

I assume it's like anything else. If you are tall, in shape, have money, and the jeans fit, they will look just fine.

I'd also think there's some ironic hipster appeal to them, but I wouldn't know that.

I don't think you're missing anything, but your curiosity is getting the best of you. Marketing.

I've never watched the commercials and wanted to go out and buy a pair of Wranglers, but I'm already a manly man. :P
Are you saying the U shape is not more comfortable than the V shape? :confused:

 
I got a couple pair of Lucky Brand jeans on sale.. most comfortable jeans I ever wore
Lucky makes some very nice basic jeans that are cut better than cheap jeans, but aren't overly showy with stitching and such. :thumbup:

I don't mind a little pocket work on some jeans, but those are ####### terrible.

 
Wranglers aren't bad jeans, very basic design. They are popular in the farm/ranch/rural segments of America. You can get them without the big logo on the back pocket and nobody would know you are wearing wranglers.

Cinch is the stylish brand for the farm/ranch/rodeo set. They make some pretty good jeans but their pricing is $60-$100+ range.
So, I take it nobody shoveling #### in their Cinch's?

 
What about Lee jeans? In between Levi's and Wranglers on the status spectrum?

You should go buy a pair. I saw Drew Brees in them.

jeans from target? Oh hell noI think that's where I got my wranglers

 
wranglers were never the cool jeans. everyone who wanted to be "cool" wore Levi's. "ropers" wore Wranglers and wannabe cowboys.

 
Wranglers are an affordable jean that targets the "rugged" outdoorsy type. They're a primary sponsor of the Professional Rodeo and Bull Riders tours. They appeal to farmers and similar occupations - hence the association with 'hicks.' They are an affordable, durable, comfortable, reliable product. But they aren't very stylish. They're headquartered out of Greensboro - Mrs. IB works for the parent company - who owns a wide range of apparel lines, including Lee, Vans, North Face and Seven For All Mankind. (The last of which, I hadn't heard of before about a year ago, but the jeans would probably meet with your girlfriend's approval). They've got products over just about every price and demographic market as they are the largest apparel manufacturer in the world.
Hitchhiker: You heard of these jeans, Seven For All Mankind?

Ted: Yeah, sure, Seven For All Mankind. Yeah, the jeans.

Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: Eight... For... All... Mankind.

Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.

Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a clothing store, you see Seven For All Mankind sittin' there, there's Eight For All Mankind right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

Ted: I would go for the Eights.

Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. Eight For All Mankind. And we guarantee just as good of jeans as the Seven folk.

Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?

Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the Eight For All Mankind, we're gonna send you a Nine For All Mankind pair free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".

Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with Ten For All Mankind. Then you're in trouble, huh?

I would consider Lee and Wrangler on the same level. :shrug:
They are made by the same company...and both have different levels of product...from Mass (Walmart) and up. Jeans wear is a gigantic segment in apparel and growing...Lee and Wrangler do a little different things in the same retail space.
