Wrangler Authentics Classic Carpenter Stonewash Reviews Summary

Fabric and Durability

Pros:

• "Great fit, durable fabric and stitching, did not shrink when washed."
• "The material is sturdy and the stitching is very good."
• "They are true to size with room to spare in the pockets which is great for carpenter shorts."
• "Material is good, stitching is tight and overall, these shorts are very sturdy."
• "All the seems are tight with no unraveling, the fabric has no weak spots and all the belt loops are strong and firmly attached."
• "These carpenter shorts are well made - iPhone fits in lower right leg pocket."
• "Good strong jeans for the price."

Cons:

• "These are NOT the relaxed fit carpenter pants that you can buy in a store. Smaller, lighter material and frankly just sub-par."
• "The material on each side of the pockets ripped. I’m not sure if something was wrong with the material."
• "Material was too weak and too thin, these just ripped right out along the pocket stitching while sitting on a cushioned chair."
• "After three months of wearing the carpenter-style shorts, two pairs have holes where the back pocket attaches to the back."
• "The long pants have been work about 3 months each and are riddled with patches where the very thin fabric wears thru."
• "Not the quality that they used to be. The fabric wears out and rips very easily."
• "After owning many pairs of Wrangler Shorts and Pants over the years, these are the worst. Very thin material and ripped within a couple wearing just like many others have commented."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "Fit well and have plenty of pockets."
• "Perfect in every way, feel very soft and comfortable from day one and only better with washing."
• "They fit well and look good. The length is good--a few inches above the knee."
• "Fits comfortably as it should! I have found that these shorts and the long pants made by Wrangler fit much more comfortably in the waist and crouch area than other leading brands."
• "These Wrangler carpenter's shorts fit just right, and had the right leg length -- not too long."
• "These shorts fit true to size and are very comfortable."
• "These fit perfectly. Wear a size 36 and ordered that size and am very happy."

Cons:

• "front pocket openings are too small/narrow for my liking (compared to my Carharts) I have to remove my knife to get my hand into the pocket."
• "These same shorts purchased from Amazon are not near the quality as the ones from Walmart. Definitely a lesser quality. Not worth the money which was higher price than Walmart."
• "The shorts I got here hug my thighs and I literally can't even close the button on them."
• "These fit as expected, maybe a little smaller than same size at the store, but the jean material felt paper thin."
• "The legs are too wide and too long."
• "These are snug without a belt and not very loose fit."
• "Product advertised as a loose fit, which in my mind if larger than a relaxed fit. I received these in size 38 and when I put them on, it felt like I was wearing somebody's skinny shorts."

Pockets and Utility

Pros:

• "There are seven wide belt loops. Some lesser quality shorts have five."
• "Lots of belt loops, sturdy hammer look, great knife/tool pocket on right leg."
• "I bought a pair for myself because of all the pockets! I have both the light and dark colors. When my girls saw them, they all wanted a pair."
• "The phone pocket is just large enough to accommodate my iPhone 6S with a protective cover."
• "You can try all the other shorts, but nothing holds up like a pair of Wrangler jeans! Durable yet comfy, fits great too!"
• "My entire reason for wearing pants with more than minimal pockets is to have a pocket to carry a clip knife and small flashlight."
• "I really like the right leg side pockets."
