These seem to be holding up fine, and I love the wash and stitching. These are stylish enough to dress up a bit to church (1st Peter 3:18, Hebrews 2:3, Romans 5:8, turn to Christ), and casual enough to be worn every day. The stretch in this model is just enough to be comfortable, without feeling like you're wearing blue silicone. That's a big part of what made me choose these. They are a hair looser than what I might expect from a slim fit, but I'm not surprised, as usually a 29" waist is too small and a 30" is too large, and I opted for the looser, less skintight side lol.
I have only two issues with them, as follows.
1) The stitching down the outside of the legs looks great, but something about the sizing of the front and back panels or some such makes it so that when I sit down, the stitching is almost on top of my thigh, instead of the side. Kinda odd.
2) The front two belt loops are so close to center that when I put a belt on the loop/buckle don't have room to sit normally, and the buckle rests slightly off center. This is especially odd as my buckle is small, and wranglers is aimed at a more western theme, and no one has bigger belt buckles than western folks, haha!
Overall, I'm still happy. My last Wranglers pants lasted about 6 years, so I'm hoping to get my money's worth out of these as well- though I'm not sure I'd pay full price for them. But, that's Midwest folks for you.
Have a great day!
