At $50, Wrangler denims are laughably reasonably priced. At $30, they are a downright legal steal. Snag your pair when you nonetheless can.
This previous February, when Submit Malone swaggered onto the Tremendous Bowl subject sporting $50 Wrangler denims, the denimhead group misplaced its rattling thoughts. Its indigo-stained constituents weren’t alone. Within the GQ workplaces, Wrangler’s Cowboy Reduce denims are the worst-kept secret in pants, because of a Goldilocks slim-but-not-skinny silhouette that appears prefer it ought to value quadruple the worth. For years, the Cowboy Reduce has sat atop our rankings of the style, clinching honorifics in our guides to one of the best slim denims, one of the best denims beneath $100, one of the best denims on Amazon, and one of the best denims for the woefully tuchus-deficient. (We made that final one up, however the level nonetheless stands.)
All that adulation is well-deserved. I put on denims most days of the week—classic Levi’s 501s, brand-new Orslow 105s—and I am keen to pay good cash for a pair that matches simply proper. However shopping for a pair of cheap-‘n’-cheery Wrangler joints would not require a lot cash, ‘good’ or in any other case. Proper now, in reality, it barely requires any cash in any respect—at this very second, the Cowboy Reduce is simply $30 on Amazon, a downright legal deal on one of the best funds dungarees within the biz.
The Cowboy Reduce boasts a excessive rise that sits on the pure waist, a flattering seat, and sufficient leg room to put on with a pair of shoes. (For that cause, we think about, Wrangler occurs to be the official clothes shop of the Skilled Rodeo Cowboys Affiliation—and the unofficial clothes shop of a sure beer-willing, camo-wearing, chart-topping nation crooner.) Yeehaw-certifications apart, the Cowboy Reduce line incorporates a slew of professional quality jeans, a few of which tip the scales at over 15 oz. Are they selvedge? No. Does that matter? Additionally no.
Past their legitimately beefy really feel, Wrangler’s Cowboy Reduce denims appeared shockingly good on every of our testers, myself included. A lot so, that my colleague Gerald Ortiz, GQ‘s resident denim knowledgeable, hit up yours really for a soundbite explaining their attraction. I really like the Cowboy Reduce’s longer rise and vary of inseams, I informed him, which appear designed to accommodate a broader array of physique varieties. Perhaps, I puzzled then, Beyoncé ought to’ve penned an ode to Wrangler denims as a substitute. Who is aware of: now that they are on sale, Queen Bey would possibly appropriate the file.
