I haven't a clue as to what is RETRO about these jeans except maybe that they do have the standard 7 belt loops vice the new common 5 loops and maybe the wrangler patch. Beyond that I haven't a clue. The denim is very light, they are VERY baggy in the hips and thigh and I can not believe they rate them as slim fit, NOT EVEN A LITTLE. Even the stitching on the back pockets was not the traditional wrangler W. Returned them immediately. I have no idea who Wrangler is trying to impress but I don't think it is those of us that grew up with their awesome jeans that they no longer seem to care about making.

First, I have to say I love Wranglers, been wearing them my whole life. My last purchase was disappointing. I ordered a couple pairs of jeans and the fit was perfect, but one pair had a hole in them about 1/8" in diameter. I called support and was told they could not be replaced so my money was refunded. The disappointing part was the jeans were still available, but no longer on sale. I felt the sale price should have been honored and the jeans replaced. At least, IMHO...

I have worn the Retro Slim Straight jeans for a number of years because I love the style/fit. That said, I have had 3-4 pairs recently that developed thin spots by the rear pocket rivets and ultimately split down the seat of the jeans and had to be thrown out. The quality needs to be improved. Given this quality issue, I have started to look at other brands like Kimes given their denim is heavier (13oz), no rivets, etc.. I would like to see the Wrangler Retros built more like the Kimes jeans.

Quality and color are excellent. Shipping was very fast. Exactly what I'd expect from Wrangler. I'd say size down at least one size in the waist, since these come more loose fitting than expected. Good news is that Wrangler's exchange policy is easy for folks like me who can't size correctly

I've been wearing Wrangler jeans for 30+ years, I know what size I wear and when they started making "stretch" jeans they just don't fit the same. I actually sent back 3 pair and got a size smaller than normal and I should have gotten 2 sizes smaller. The jeans fit fine in the morning and by that evening they would fall off if it weren't for a belt. Seems like poor quality. IF YOU WANT SWEAT PANTS, THEN BUY SWEATPANTS. Jeans should be durable and wear well.
