Wrangler Retro Slim Fit Straight Leg review

Wrangler's Retro Slim Fit Straight Leg is the western choice for men who want a cleaner line than the classic Cowboy Cut. Wrangler describes it as a closer fit with a leg opening that still falls comfortably over boots, and the product page publishes the numbers: a low rise with a 10 3/8" front rise, a straight leg and a 16 1/2" leg opening, with a zip fly and button closure. The jean sits low on the waist, which Wrangler says makes it easy to show off a belt buckle. Waist sizes run from 29 to 46 and lengths from 30 to 38, one of the longest length runs here. Full price is $74.99, and it was marked down to $59.95 when we checked. Feedback is split: 904 reviews average 4.1 out of 5, but only 49% of those who answered recommend it, and Wrangler confirmed in the page's Q&A that it has no 100% cotton version of this fit.
