  I've never owned a pair of Riggs before and I really like them. I was originally going to get the Ranger version but Carpenter were 25% off so I started here, but I wonder if it was worth it since I use cargo pockets often. The material is a bit stiff but it feels very strong. The back pockets are fully lined with Cordura, so no lip to hook onto wallets and full pocket durability. Cordura is just a woven nylon for heavy use, like a rough canvas. The brown leather tape measure clip is only a lip on the edge, not full double sided leather, with the backside being white pocket liner made from ripstop cotton. The front pockets are nice and deep, the back pockets are large enough, the front utility pocket is big but too tight, the tool pocket opening is too small for the hand so don't place screw bits or whatever in the pocket, and the hammer loop is normal. The pants are on the baggy side but the waist is a tight fit, maybe too tight but I can fit without a belt. I'm more of a 31" than 30" but I usually buy 30" as it tends to fit better than 32" do, so my size seems to vary by pant design. The button slot wasn't fully cut on my pants, but the button is now easier to get in and out now that I sliced the hole longer towards where the stitching is. The very bottom joint between the legs has an additional cut section in the design to prevent split tearing, similar to martial arts pants. Loden color is a dark subdued green color, which I thought would be like a pine green but it almost looks dark gray because the hue is so subtle, while the stitching is more of a pine green. Dark gray buttons and brown Cordura and leather go with the Loden green to create a nice mountain woods color palette. All of the stitching on the pants are very durable feeling, extra strong build. The main feature of the pants is the ripstop cotton fabric material itself, and the pants as a whole feel incredibly strong and durable. These pants feel like they will last a long time, but I'll have to wait and see as some reviews claim their pants tore quickly. Despite being made from a stiff and strong material, they feel very comfortable and natural on the skin. Machine wash cold with like colors, only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry low or line dry. I would avoid fabric softener to retain the strength but dryer sheets are probably fine. For $45.50, I think you're getting good quality pants but I would pay a few dollars more for the Ranger pants which come with cargo pockets and double knee material. My Carpenter pants were 25% off which made the price $33.90, and then I had a $10 off coupon for Amazon through some purchase or whatever, so for me these were more like half-off and paid with a birthday gift card. Now that I own a pair of Riggs Workwear, I can see paying in full for pants like these as I thought the price didn't look worth it at first but I see that they have much higher build quality and material than typical pants. All I can do now is just wait and see how well they truly hold up when taken outdoors.

  Sized perfectly and the jeans seem durable. Good jeans and priced fairly well.

  Good quality. However, I normally wear 34x30. I bought 36x30 and they were too tight in the waist. They fit great everywhere else. Unfortunately, 37 waist option is not available to do an exchange.

  If you are in commercial construction, then these are the jeans for you.I have been wearing them for about 7 years but wish I found them earlier in my career.They last longer than regular jeans and you have more room and double stitching, lined pockets for tough use.Great jeans. The Union trades should offer these to their tradesmen.Sizes are accurate too.

  I’ve ordered 4 pairs of these pants for my husband! He raves about their comfortability and tells me he wants a pair in every color. They are comfortable, durable, and look nice!

  Having liked Wrangler jeans I've purchased in the past, I expected these to be an upgrade. While the material feels stronger and impossible to tear, it has worse abrasion resistance. After a few months, a small hole developed on the upper left thigh. The material feels thinner, offers less insulation, and isn't as soft. On a positive note, it seems to do a better job blocking moisture. 38x36 fit was perfect though; relaxed and comfortable, yet not baggy.I prefer the Wrangler Classic line.

• Old Punkin

  Just what I've come to expect from Wrangler. Pants that fit and Last a long time. These do have a small strip of reinforcing leather on both front pockets I didn't notice in the picture. It is just fine!! The material appears to be of a solid color but on close examination there is a pattern. I don't mind that at all. The material is tough and should last a long time.

  Really comfortable and sturdy pants. Great for casual wear even if you aren't a carpenter.

  I like these pants and have worn them for years. But the sizing of the waist and length is off and inconsistent. For example the waist measurements of several pair of pants marked 34” vary as much as 2 inches between all the pants in that order in my experience from my last orders. Order several sizes and order them to try before you buy.

  I’ve been looking for good quality work jeans for awhile. Riggs come double front and cargo/carpenter style. Not as heavy as carrhart but much cooler on hot days. And not as stiff.
