Wrangler Men's

Buy by your waist measurement, not the size on your old jeans.

Wrangler jeans are sold waist × inseam in inches. Measure your natural waist with the tape level and use that number. The fit you pick matters more than the size — see the table below.

Which Wrangler fit is which

Style	Rise	Front rise	Leg	Opening	Denim	Waists
13MWZ Cowboy Cut Original	High	11⅞″	Fits over boot	16¾″	14.75 oz rigid	28–52
936 Cowboy Cut Slim	High	11″	Tapered	16½″	14.5 oz rigid	27–56
47MWZ Premium Perf.	Mid	—	Tapered	—	14.75 oz rigid	28–56
Retro 88MWZ Slim Straight	Low	10⅜″	Straight	16½″	11.5 oz, some stretch	29–46
20X No. 42 Vintage Bootcut	Low	10⅜″	Bootcut	18″	11.25 oz, some stretch	28–42

Specs as published by Wrangler. Dashes are figures they don’t publish. Thigh and knee measurements aren’t published for any fit.

The short version: the 13MWZ is the original — high rise, cut deliberately wide at the bottom to sit over a boot. The 936 is the same rise but slim through the seat and thigh. Retro and 20X sit low, have stretch, and are the easier wear if you’re not roping in them.

Rigid denim shrinks

The 13MWZ, 936 and 47MWZ are 100% cotton rigid denim. Wrangler’s own care guidance: heat “will gradually shrink a pure cotton jean by up to a full size over repeated cycles.” Cold wash, gentle cycle, air dry and they’ll hold their size. Run them hot and they won’t.

Wrangler don’t publish a shrinkage percentage or a size-up rule, so we won’t invent one — but if you plan to machine dry them, come talk to us before you pick a size.

Shirts — woven and snap

2X	18–18½″	53–55″	34½–35″
3X	19–19½″	57–59″	35½–36″
4X	20–20½″	61–63″	35½–36″

Body measurements. T suffix is tall, X is big. Knit tees run on a separate chart — ask and we’ll pull it.

Length over a boot

Inseams run 29 through 38 depending on style. Wrangler publish no height-to-inseam guide, but a Cowboy Cut is meant to stack on the boot, so most folks buy longer than their true inseam. If you’re unsure, bring the boots.

NOTHING BEATS AN ORIGINAL, BUT THIS MIGHT Since 1947, Wrangler® jeans have been a cowboy-approved wardrobe staple. Inspired by our Western heritage, these Wrangler® Retro® jeans combine our most iconic features with contemporary fits and washes. This updated classic features the same worn leather patch with our rope logo, 'W' stitching on the back pockets, and five-pocket styling. These men's slim bootcut jeans feature a streamlined silhouette through the seat, thigh, and knee, but the leg widens from the knee downward, which is good news for boots. When it comes to finding the best bootcut jeans for men, your search ends here.
