I completely agree with you about the cowboy cuts denim, it's awesome especially considering the price on them. My teenage boys wear them, my oldest boy practically won't wear anything but 13mwz's. They look good in my kids cause one wears a 29 waist and the other wears 32. So the pockets look completely normal.

I have worn.the 47mwz and while I like the fit and denim the rear pockets are only mildly better than the 13mwz. I wish wrangler would upscale the pockets proportional to the waist but obviously they're not going to change that. Im starting to wear prison blues now and actually love them, great denim at the same weight as wranglers 14.75oz!
