Wrangler Retro Slim Straight Jeans vs True Luck Ramsey Straight Stretch Jeans

Buy the Wrangler Retro for a modern slim-straight western look with a low rise that shows a belt buckle and a leg that sits over boots. Buy the True Luck Ramsey for a relaxed, roomier straight leg with stretch denim and a medium wash. The Wrangler carries the stronger brand name and a recognizable Retro line, but its 3.3 rating from 231 owners suggests fit complaints, mostly about the slim seat. The True Luck scores 4.8, though from only 31 ratings, so treat that as a small sample. Both use the same 99% cotton, 1% spandex blend and a 16.5-inch leg opening.

• Choose the Wrangler Retro if you want a slim-straight cut, a low rise for a belt buckle, and a dark wash that dresses up.
• Choose the True Luck Ramsey if you want a relaxed straight fit, stretch comfort, and a medium wash with light distressing.
