VINTAGE 1940s DEADSTOCK WRANGLER 11MW JEANS | SAME LEVI’s ARCUATE

Back then, Wrangler jeans (and Lee as well, for that matter) used the same double arcuate stitch design as Levi Strauss on the back pockets. Tsk, tsk. I like the Wrangler coin/watch pocket shape and stitching in the picture above. It looks very clean and modern for it’s time. Wrangler was button-fly up until 1947 when they introduced a new model- the 13MWZ zipper front.

Now that is a handsome pant!
900,000 yen, and they are all yours.
Shoot, I’m still trying to gather the yen for some swanky Red Wings….
Never could stand the Wrangler watch pocket. It is completely covered by your belt, and therefore completely useless. And that’s where I put my motorcycle key.
If this is wrangler, why it has Levi’s arcurate on back pocket?
