Vintage Wrangler
Western Denim Heritage Since 1947 · Founded 1947 · Greensboro, North Carolina, USA
Born from the Blue Bell Overall Company in 1947, Wrangler was designed with rodeo cowboys and became the denim of the American West. The 13MWZ Cowboy Cut has been in production since 1947, and Blue Bell-era pieces are the collector benchmark.
How to Spot Authentic Vintage Wrangler
Reproductions and mislabeled pieces are common. These are the markers that separate genuine vintage Wrangler from fakes and modern items:
- 'Blue Bell' on labels or hardware marks earlier production
- 'Made in USA' tags on denim and western shirts
- Broken-twill denim is a Wrangler signature
- Bronze W stitching and watch-pocket rivets on authentic pairs
Vintage Wrangler Sizing
Cowboy Cut is exactly that — high rise, snug seat and thigh, cut to stack over boots. Vintage pairs run about a size small in the waist. Western shirts are trim through the body with long sleeves designed for riding.
