Which is better, Levi's or Wranglers? Well my friend, that is a tale as old as time. Today we are comparing the Wrangler Cowboy Cut 13MWZ jean to Levi's 501's rinsed and STF (shrink to fit). None of these jeans are selvedge, but they are both raw which is fun! We'll be comparing toughness, how your butt looks, construction, denim weight, bar tacks, rivets, the whole nine yards. We'll also of course be looking at fit. Thanks EdgyAlbert for inventing jeans.
Bye.

    Michael, first, great video! After watching this I purchased a pair of 501s and the 13MWZ to compare. I'm wondering, did you end up having to size down on the length/inseam for the Wranglers? Or did they shrink down? I'm finding them way longer than the 501s at the same length (resulting in a stacked look). I could size down, I'm just wondering if you sized down compared to the Levi's or if yours just aren't stacking?

    Wrangler Jeans are crap. I have had two pair split adjacent to the crotch in the last few months, just squatting. No, never any bleach used. They are just crap jeans. Going back to Levi. Yes, I liked the price, but nearly new jeans being thrown away is a lot worse than a bit higher price. They are in no way work jeans, they are like for asphalt cowboys or something.

    The denim’s definitely more substantial on the Wranglers for sure…however, the denim itself isn’t designed to fade the same way as other raw denims, which I learned on the denimhunters podcast. Iron Hearts, Oni’s, Tanukis for example have denim which is milled to fade, and is heavyweight…obviously. Ive had good luck fading Levi’s STFs, and I agree, I think the silhouette is more universal and flattering

But I wouldnt want to do physical labor in them because that fitted shape squeezes in all the wrong places when squatting and bending deep. The Wranglers looks sloppy especially in the upper thigh but are way better work pants BECAUSE OF THIS. I think many of us are forgetting jeans started as work pants and have been shoehorned into the fashion role, where they mostly fit in but not entirely.

    This was a good review. I have worn Wranglers all my life. In Texas, it’s the norm with boots. I added several 501 pairs in the 90s for high school and college when I was wearing sneakers more. As I got older, 501 shrink to fit became a staple but the Wranglers were always more comfortable. The higher pockets keep me from sitting on my stuff. When I see guys wearing other jeans with low pockets, there’s a slight crease about 1/3 up from the pocket bottom just from normal movement. That always bugged me. And if I remember correctly, Wrangler jeans raised the pockets to better fit with a saddle as cowboys were their target audience. If it makes my butt look better, I can appreciate that.

    This is great timing for me since I've personally been going down a 501 vs Cowboy Cut rabbit hole myself. I think I land in the same place where I prefer the 501 STF but wish they could adopt the best parts of the Wranglers. If the Wrangler "rigid" is too light of an indigo color (it nearly is for me), it turns out they made Cowboy Cut "Silver Edition" jeans in a much darker, but rinsed, denim. There's not a lot of stock left of them out there, and you have to deal with a very embarrassing sparkling silver Wrangler logo, but they're much closer in tone to the 501 STF.

    The cowboy cut’s pockets sit higher so that whatever you put in them is accessible while you are sitting (hypothetically, on a horse). The wranglers also have a double stitched outer seam, which the levi’s don’t. I put a pair of cowboy cuts and STF’s through the ringer in agricultural work over the last couple years, and have to say I prefer wranglers. The pocket positioning serves a practical purpose, they fade much faster, and they are tougher.

    I am a clothing reseller, vtg 501s are around 20-30 dollars used on ebay. They're not that popular of a cut either so you should be easily able to find them vs other cuts like 513, 527 or 560s. Also I have a complaint about this video, you can't just compare 501s to Wrangler and make these criticisms about levis pocket height with only one cut. Levis is amazing because it has multiple cuts and a lot of the issues he complains about are eliminated with 560s. On top of that Levis has the made and crafted line which is imo the best Jean you can possibly get for life as long as the cut suits you. They are selvedge, made in japan with a tencell cotton blend.

    I adore the fit of my Levi 541s. They always look so good. Unfortunately, I have bigger thighs, and my Levis last only 2-3 years before the friction from me walking causes the denim in the groin/down the thigh to fall apart. It's very unfortunate. I've moved on to heavier denims to avoid this, but I can't find the fit I like in the heritage denim space. It's depressing lmao.

I actually still have them 6 years later and they're still in my normal rotation of pants.

    all i can say both 501 levi’s and wranglers jeans cowboys cut are sensational jeans both in quality and look i bought my first pair of wranglers jeans last month in mexico, i paid around 850 pesos for them, it’s a cowboy boy cut slim fit, they have a higher rise and do make your butt look better lol, and the best part they go well my style rn 🤞🏽

    Heres the thing. In the 80s Levi's shut down many American plants and sent all.production overseas where they could pay pennies in comparative labor costs. So did the price go down. Oh no even though they cut labor costs by over 70% the price went up while at the same time the quality of their product plummeted. Literally i have not bought any Levi's product since 1987 and my children never wore that brand until they left the house. I want to express how sad this was. Growing up i ALWAYS wore levi's. Pants shoes even dingo boots even had a couple of levis denim covered notebooks in school. But when companies turn their back on America we need to send them into history. Heres looking right at you BUD LIGHT

    One little thing that you missed… The Wrangler Cowboy Fit was designed for cowboys. When you are sitting in a saddle, the low Levi pockets will be either useless or force you to sit on your wallet. The higher Wrangler pockets are more comfortable and accessible. I think miners wore Levi’s, and were squatting a lot. I do agree, though, that the higher pockets look better. Of course, Wrangler also makes non-cowboy jeans, too.

    I used to buy nothing but Levi 501 back in the 80’s and 90’s because they lasted, and they were affordable. I had been buying nothing but Wrangler jeans (not the cowboy cut) for the same reason, but they suddenly seem to be hard to find.

    I've worn both, and vastly prefer the Wranglers, which goes to something that wasn't touched on: the wearer's style or desired 'look.' The overall look for the Wranglers, _especially_ the Cowboy Cut, is Western. If you intend to tuck a flannel shirt into them, wear cowboy boots tucked into them, and prefer a higher waist with a more 'old timey' look, those are the jeans to beat. They're a polarizing style, and the Levis blend into the average wardrobe infinitely better.

    I guess you’ve talked me into buying Wranglers again. I’ve been wearing Rock N Roll denim Double Barrel jeans because they fit my frame really well (6’4”, 250lbs) and they look sharp but I blow the crotch out after a year of heavy wear. Haven’t ever even considered buying jeans with heavier denim.

    I failed to mention, I have various styles of Levi and Wrangler. As far as comfort, they are both great. When it comes to strength and durability, Wrangler wins hands down. Wrangler uses a much thicker, more durable material then Levis does with their Cowboy Cut original fit. Then they went a step further with their Cowboy cut 936.They are the heaviest, thickest jeans I have ever worn besides Japanese Selfedge jeans which cost a fortune.I love my Wanglers

    I usually wear Wrangler blue jeans. I needed a new pair of jeans (I am losing weight and my old pair were getting too big). The store that I buy jeans at didn't have my size in stock so I decided to try Levi's. I found a pair that fitted perfectly so I bought them. When I got home, I washed them like I have always done and they shrunk to the point where I could not wear them. I never had this problem with Wrangler blue jeans. I ended up donating the Levi blue jeans to my local thrift store (St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store). I will now stick with Wranglers.

    Pockets on Wrangler Cowboy cut jeans look very small in person and major problem is that the legs don't tapper, even on their slim cut jeans. I believe the older ones that were made in USA had bigger rear pockets, with real leather patch and tapered to 8.5 inches after wash. If balling on budget (or not), I would take GAP jeans over Wrangler's or Levi's!
