1940s Deadstock Wrangler

Handsome back pocket- I like the cool leather patch placement.

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.

  2. 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.
