How does the Work Horse compare with regular Wrangler jeans?

It uses heavier 14.5 oz. Durashield denim, a room2move relaxed cut, an action gusset and Cordura-lined back pockets. Regular Wrangler jeans are lighter and less reinforced.

Is the fit true to size?

It is a relaxed fit, so it runs roomier than a straight or slim jean. Shoppers who want a trimmer look often size down.

What is the action gusset for?

The gusset adds fabric in the crotch so the jeans flex when you squat, climb or kneel. It is a common feature on work jeans.

Will the jeans soften over time?

Yes. The heavyweight denim starts stiff and softens with wear and washing, though it stays heavier than fashion denim.

What is Durashield denim?

It is Wrangler's name for its durable work-denim construction. The Work Horse uses it in a 14.5 oz. weight.

Are these good for hot weather?

They are warm. The 14.5 oz. denim is built for toughness rather than breathability, so they suit cooler conditions better.
