  This line of clothing from Wrangler is super rugged and just right for the working person. I have several pairs of the shorts and several pairs of the long pants. I can’t say enough good things about them. They have a proper hammer loop and many pockets for tools, pencils, tape measure, etc. The material is heavy, well sewn and the fit is perfect. You can bend, stretch, twist and move anyway that is necessary without these pants binding up stopping you from doing what is necessary. This is one of the products I have found that is exceedingly good and I want people to know how good these are. Wrangler Riggs come highly recommended from me. I’m my mid-50s and I know what makes a good pant these are them. I have never had better pants than these my entire life. These beat the pants off of blue jeans. Pun intended! No comparison. You try these and you’ll never go back to blue jeans again. The material is tougher than denim. It’s more breathable, flexible and highly superior to blue jeans.Another thing, when you combine these shorts or pants with a Wrangler Riggs shirt you look like a professional working person. There is no comparison with a person wearing the Wrangler Riggs line of clothing to someone wearing cut off jeans and a T-shirt. When you show up on a job site with proper clothing you look like you know what you’re doing and not some kind a joker. Wrangler Riggs makes proper work clothes. If you want to look and feel good on the job site or working at home this is the line of clothing you’re looking for. Highly recommended!

  True to size. My husband wears 34" waist and the shorts fit perfectly. He's in construction so I'll update later on how well the leather on pocket holds up. My only suggestion would be that the leather stretch further along the pocket and to be 1-grade up in thickness. I still think Wrangler RIGGS is worth the money for the construction man and very stylish for the wanna-look-the-part Dude.

  I ordered just one pair of these shorts to see how they fit and how heavy duty they were. They arrived in 4 days on regular shipping in good shape. I tried them on right away and the fit was good. I love the extra pockets just like my cargo long winter pants. The extra pockets are good for my cell phone and wallet. I will wear these at work a couple of times before deciding what other colors to order. PS: They are heavy duty material and look like they will last a long time if I take average care of them.

  Excellent pair of jean shorts that are spot on for size.What they need to correct is the inseam is way to long ( like 10.5 ").Other than that their a good purchase

  I only gave 3 stars mostly because i didn’t realize that they wouldn’t be really flexible to work in but as stated that is a my error. I do like the shorts and still trying to find a way to soften them up a little bit to see if it will help flexibility.

  These are tough and durable shorts. They don't stretch because they are not designed to. There are a lot of belt loops which really helps keep them up and increases comfort when working.

  I bought these from my brother who is a contractor in South Florida. He’s make the perfect work clothes for him as it holds all of his tools that he uses on a regular basis, i.e. pencils, rulers, markers screwdriver, etc., and all the pockets that come in it. They also hold up relatively well to his more than sedate work habits.

  I am a carpenter and have been wearing these shorts for years. They are a great product but have a unique design flaw common in most Wrangler pants products. For some strange reason when your waist size expands so does the length of the legs! As I get older [65] I no longer have the waist line I used to have. When I switched from a 36 inch waist to 38 the inseam measurement stays the same but the outseam lengthens by over 1 1/2 inches. Now when I squat or get up from kneeling the hem sticks on my knee cap. I hate shorts that are not "shorts" and like the hemline above my knee cap, 2 inches is perfect. A 10 inch inseam usually provides this. Thes shorts along with several pairs of Wrangler jeans are going to the local seamstress to be shortened.
