Wrangler Riggs Workwear 20X FR Vintage Boot Cut Jean - Slim FR

In this review of the Wrangler Riggs Workwear Men's 20X FR Vintage Boot Cut Jean the bottom line is simple: these are a slim-fit, flame resistant work jean built for on-the-job protection without feeling bulky. Designed for people who need ATPV-rated protection but prefer a modern slimmer profile, the jeans combine a bootcut leg that fits over boots with stretch-cotton comfort. The single biggest reason to consider them is the FR performance - an ATPV 21 CAL/CM2 rating - paired with a lightweight feel that customers say works well in warm climates.

Key Features

• Slim fit: The jeans are cut slim through the seat and thigh and sit below the natural waist, providing a more tailored silhouette that still allows mobility on the job.
• Flame resistant: Built to self-extinguish and meet rigorous industry requirements, these jeans offer an ATPV rating of 21 CAL/CM2 for workplace thermal protection.
• Durable protection: Constructed from a stretch-cotton blend, they balance durability with enough give for all-day comfort and repeated wear.
• Bootcut leg: The bootcut hem is designed to fit over work boots so footwear choices are not restricted during a shift.
• Five-pocket storage: The classic 5-pocket layout provides practical storage with two front pockets, a watch pocket and two back pockets for tools and essentials.

Who It's For

The Riggs Workwear 20X FR jean is aimed at tradespeople who require certified flame resistance but prefer a slimmer, modern cut rather than a loose fit. Electricians, contractors and industrial workers who need ATPV-rated garments will appreciate the protection and the lighter weight construction that customers note works well in hot climates.

These are not ideal for someone who needs extra room through the thigh or a high-rise waist; fit runs slightly small according to customer feedback, so buyers who prefer relaxed or loose fits should look for a different cut or size up. Those who need heavy-duty abrasion resistance beyond normal work wear should evaluate task-specific options.
