Wranglers use to be manufactured in North Carolina, pulled out and went to Mexico. I have been wearing the comfort fit Wranglers for years and purchased two pair of the size I wear. They were so tight I couldn't button them. No, I didn't gain weight. I then found out they were made in Mexico and using cotton from different sources and they just shrunk more than they normally would. Took them back and got size larger and they fit. Nothing is normal any more.Levi Strauss has been anti-gun for decades, I haven't bought any of their products in the same period. Wranglers work fine for me.
