[Working Moms Blog] Wrangler Originals ~ My A** Literally!

[MomBlogger]

I apologise for the upcoming language that will be uttered... with the utmost lady-likeness.... but these jeans suck.

let me lay it out for you.

I'm a tall woman, and I find that it's fairly hard to pigeon hole me into the normal sizes... 14, 16 (or wishfully 10, 12) even if I do find a Tall... so, to reduce my stress... I have been shopping and wearing men's jeans for YEARS!

It's great!

First of all... You can pick your waist... You can pick you length... and now that men are so ... metro sexual... they have virtually the same cuts... relaxed, boot, straight, narrow... you name it. I prefer the relaxed boot cut myself.

Here's the best part... these jeans are built to last.

I have been wearing my favorite pair of Levi's for about 10 years now. My 4 or 5 pairs have dwindled down to 1... and even that pair has a huge hole in the knee and frayed patches at several seams.... in December, while holiday shopping at Target, I decided to take a gander at what jeans were available.

I picked out a fantastic dark blue pair of Wrangler "originals", boot cut... relaxed fit... normal waist (not too low... not too high) They were perfect! They didn't leave that gap of air at the back when I bent over... and they didn't show my butt crack either! PERFECT!

THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR PERFECTION

Now I had 2 pairs of jeans... only 2 days a week I could wear jeans... so let's say, since Christmas, this particular pair has been worn 4 times... possibly 6.

Last weekend, the knee gave out.

No warning, when I put them on... the knee suddenly looked.... frayed.. like it was deteriorating... and within days, there was a gaping hole the size of my knee. (the same size as my 10 year old Levi's, that took about 6 years to get like that)

I wore them with the hole. I blamed myself. Perhaps I was crawling on the floor picking up after the kids... playing with the dog... whatever, perhaps I was being too hard on these American Originals.

Then

Then

The following week, I bent over... and the whole entire butt ripped from the buckle seam to the start of the leg.

Now listen folks. I was not stuffed into these jeans like sausage in a casing.. they were so comfortably loose I could have grabbed a handful of fabric... NOW... any passersby could grab a handful of A**!

I did what any red blooded American would do that had just spent $29.00 of her hard earned single parent dollars on a much deserved treat for herself.... I wrote the company.

They have ignored me.

And so I commence.... My Wrangler-Originals-Suck campaign.

GO LEVI's! (which begs the question... why was Travis considered years late?)

Anyway, back to the Wrangler Originals Suck campaign.....

I wonder how long these "originals" would have lasted out on the "trail" considering they lasted about 30 days in a suburban house in New Jersey?

Your thoughts on the matter?

I look forward to your comments and feel free to bash any products that have disappointed you as much as the Wrangler Originals and their lack of customer service have disappointed me!

have a great day!
