Wrangler Boy's Retro Bootcut Jean BRT20GL

These are the jeans for a boy who is in and out of the saddle, the truck and the barn all day. The relaxed seat and thigh give him room to swing up, squat down and climb fences without fighting his clothes, and the bootcut leg leaves room for his boots.

Authentic five-pocket styling gives them a retro western look with a little more attitude than a basic jean. The 12.5 oz stretch denim moves with him, and the zip fly with button closure and two back pockets keep the front and back simple and sturdy.

Highlights

• Relaxed seat and thigh for easy movement
• Bootcut leg leaves room for his boots
• 12.5 oz stretch denim moves with him
• Authentic five-pocket styling with a retro look
• Zip fly with button closure

Why choose a bootcut for a young rider

A boy who rides or helps out on the place needs jeans that don't fight him. A relaxed fit gives him room to climb and crouch, and a bootcut opening keeps the cuff clear of his boots, so the hem is less likely to snag on a stirrup or a fence board. The retro styling looks right for school, the rodeo or Sunday at church.

These also make a good first western jean. Stretch denim gives when he sits and bends all day, and the classic back pockets look like the grown-up jeans he has been wanting.

How to fit and wear them

Have him try them on over the boots he wears most so you can see where the hem falls. The bootcut leg should clear the boot without bunching at the top, and the relaxed seat should let him squat and sit without pulling.

Pair them with a snap-front shirt and his everyday boots for school, town or the rodeo. A belt helps keep the waistband snug while he is on the move.

Good to know

• Pair them with a western belt, a snap-front shirt and his everyday boots so the outfit looks finished.
• Wash them inside out in cold water and line dry to keep the stretch denim in shape.
• Check the hem after the first wash, since denim can shrink a little.
• Keep a second pair ready for school days and rodeo days, so the work pair stays clean.
