The Wrangler jeans company used the recent National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas to promote their updated model of jeans designed for competition. When I saw that they are looser, I was concerned that the scenery from the rear wasn't going to be as scenic, if you know what I mean.

I can't explain it as well as this item from the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

"The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo has served as a coming out party for Wrangler's new cowboy rodeo jeans, officially known as "Competition Jean, Style #01."

The PRCA sanctioned Wrangler's cowboy cut jeans, "13MWZ," as the first official pro rodeo jeans 65 years ago. The 13MWZ, which stands for the jeans' 13th prototype and "Men's Western Zipper," is still worn by some rodeo stars.

Wrangler, which spent 18 months developing the new Competition jeans, rolled out the new PRCA-endorsed product because it was time to give the 1947 jeans a more fashion-forward look while re-calibrating the fit to accommodate an athlete with bigger thighs.

The Competition model has a 21st century look marked by a lower-riding waist, an extra-relaxed seat and thigh and a wider opening at the ankle to fit over boots.

"It has a looser fit, but not too loose," said rodeo superstar Trevor Brazile, of Decatur, Texas, the sport's Michael Jordan who has worn the Competition during the NFR. The ten-day rodeo ends Saturday night.

The Competition also offers a feature not needed in 1947 - a cell phone pocket. The jean, a member of the Wrangler 20X Collection, retails for about $40."




This is a similar model from the Wrangler website, but I don't think they are the competition version:
