I use my Wrangler cargo pants as 'dressy/casual jeans;' I do not use them as work jeans, although they sure are tough. One of the features I particularly like is the depth of the pockets. I really dislike pants/jeans/cargo pants that have shallow pockets. You know what I mean - you get in your vehicle, and, the next thing you know, change is rolling out of your pockets into the area between the seats. Gggrrrrr!! These Wrangler jeans have DEEP pockets - love 'em!! Another feature I like is that the 'flaps' over the pockets are secured by metal snaps, not the cheap velcro found on other cargo pants. (That cheap velcro wears out after 2 washings!!) A con? Well, these pants are tough, and tough jeans are made of heavy-duty material. These cargo pants are made of heavy material, meaning forget wearing them on a hot summer's day. But Fall, Winter, Spring - I almost live in them! Okay, they're not pants you'd wear to a formal function, but they are, kind of, 'dressy jeans.' (Kind of.) I now have 4 pairs - 2 older green pairs, and I just received 2 new pairs, ordered on-line at Wrangler.com (gray and dark blue). I admit, they're stiff - they'll require a few washings to soften abit. But overall, these are the best 'cargo pants' I have ever owned!
