Wrangler Jeans

The Wrangler Jeans range carries decades of western heritage. Quality construction, comfortable fits, and styling that connects you to authentic country traditions. Afterpay and Zip available.

Reliable Wrangler Jeans You Can Trust

Cowboy Cut, Retro, Active Flex and Tough Comfort for men; Q-Baby, Ultimate Riding, Willow, Bespoke and Rodeo for women; ProRodeo for kids. Selected women's styles in a 34 leg.

Flat Seams, Wide Legs and Seven Belt Loops

The Cowboy Cut 13MWZ is the pair the rest of the range is measured against, and the reasons are structural rather than sentimental. Wrangler fells the side seams flat so nothing sits proud against your leg in the saddle, and cuts the leg opening to 16 3/4 inches so it clears a boot instead of bunching above it.

There are seven belt loops on it rather than the usual five, which is what keeps a belt and a tucked shirt where you put them. The denim is 14.75oz cotton, heavy enough that a new pair will nearly stand up on its own and takes a few wears to soften. Wrangler still lists the 13MWZ as the official ProRodeo competition jean, which is a fair summary of who it was drawn for.

Men's Wrangler Jeans

The men's Wrangler range covers the Cowboy Cut in rigid indigo, prewashed indigo, shadow black, bleach and prewashed tan, with the slim-fit 936 in both rigid and prewashed. The Active Flex version of the same jean comes in stonewash, and there is a Western bootcut in navy stretch.

Retro is the dressier end of it, in slim and straight legs with the W pocket embroidery that marks the collection out, plus a Cody Johnson relaxed fit in blue stone. The Wrangler Classic Jeans range sits alongside for the plainer cuts. Boys' ProRodeo jeans run the same regular and slim fits down through junior sizing, so a kid at the campdraft is wearing what everyone else is.

Women's Wrangler Jeans

The women's Wrangler range is built around the Ultimate Riding fits. Q-Baby is the mid-rise one, here in Arizona, Amelia, Austin, Windsong and Tilly washes, with the Dark Dynasty version in the Ultimate Riding cut proper. If you have ridden in a pair before, you will already know which of the two you want.

Willow runs through Amber, Chara, Luna, Verity and Margo, several of them in a 34 leg for anyone who has spent years turning hems up. Bespoke is the curve-fit line, in hi-rise bootcut, flare, skinny and trouser legs, and the Retro mid-rise bootcut and Dillen hi-rise fill in either side of it.

Order Your Next Pair

Every pair in the Wrangler denim range is online and ready to order, with free shipping Australia-wide once your order passes $175. Sizing on the rigid fits is worth a quick call, since a 14.75oz jean gives about an inch after a few wears and not a moment before.

The Parafield showroom has the rigid and the stretch hanging on the same rack if you would rather feel the difference before you decide. Jeans are the middle of an outfit, though, and Wrangler makes what goes above and below them too:

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans and regular Wrangler jeans?

The Cowboy Cut is Wrangler's original cowboy jean, and its 13MWZ style number stands for 13 Men's With Zip. The Wrangler Cowboy Cut Original Fit 13MWZ has a high rise, room through the seat and thigh, heavyweight 100% cotton denim and a leg opening that fits over boots. It also comes in Slim Fit (936), Active Flex stretch and lighter Tough Lite versions. Wrangler's other men's jeans, like the Regular Bootcut and Retro styles, sit lower on the waist with a slimmer seat and stretch denim. Read more in our top 5 jeans guide.
Do Wrangler jeans run true to size, or should I size up?

For the most part, Wrangler jeans are true to size. The exception, according to our Wrangler sizing guide, is raw or rigid styles, like the Cowboy Cut 13MWZ Rigid Indigo and 936 Slim Fit Rigid, where we recommend going up half a size because they can shrink when washed. Men's jeans are sized by waist and leg length in inches, while many women's styles show US sizes with the AUS equivalent, for example 7 US / 12 AUS. Measure your waist and hips and check the chart. If a pair doesn't fit, unused jeans in original packaging can be returned or exchanged within 14 days under our returns policy.
Which Wrangler jeans are cut wide enough to wear over cowboy boots?

Most western styles in the range are listed as fitting over boots. For men, the Cowboy Cut Original Fit (13MWZ) has a straight leg opening that sits cleanly over boots. As our top 5 jeans guide explains, it's tighter in the lower leg than a bootcut, so it won't flap around. The 936 Slim Fit keeps a slimmer line, while the Western Bootcut Stretch (947STR) and Regular Bootcut open out more. Women's styles like the Bespoke Hi Rise Bootcut relax from the knee to fit over boots. See more in bootcut jeans.
What does 'rigid' or 'shrink-to-fit' mean, and how much will those jeans shrink after washing?

Rigid means unwashed 100% cotton denim with no stretch. It starts stiff and softens as it wears in, shaping to how you move. Shrink-to-fit usually refers to raw denim that hasn't been pre-shrunk, so it shrinks noticeably in the first wash. The rigid Wrangler styles here, the 13MWZ Rigid Indigo and Cowboy Cut Slim Fit Rigid (936DEN), are Sanforized, a pre-shrinking process that limits shrinkage, so they aren't true shrink-to-fit jeans. There's no exact figure, but our Wrangler sizing guide still recommends going up half a size in raw or rigid styles.
Are Wrangler jeans suitable for riding and rodeo, or just everyday wear?

It depends on the style, so check the product description before you buy. Wrangler lists the Cowboy Cut 13MWZ as an Official ProRodeo Competition Jean, and its description says the original cowboy cut was developed for riding, with fully felled side seams that lie flat. Some women's styles are named Ultimate Riding Jeans, and the Wrangler Q-Baby Ultimate Riding Jeans are described as designed specifically for riding comfort. Other styles, like the Bespoke trouser and wide leg jeans, focus on everyday style and don't make riding claims. If you're unsure about a particular pair, ask our team.
How should I wash Wrangler jeans to stop them fading and shrinking?

Wash less, and wash cold. Our Wrangler sizing guide recommends washing jeans every 4 to 6 weeks if you wear them regularly, using cold water and a gentle detergent, and turning them inside out to hold the colour. Line dry them in the shade rather than using a hot dryer, since heat can shrink cotton denim and strong sun can fade it. Wash new dark indigo jeans separately for the first few washes. Always follow the care label. Planning to shorten them? Wash them first, as our guide to hemming western jeans explains.
