1950's Repro Wranglers

[flat-top]

I picked these up while in Vegas. I love 'em! I've seen all kinds of Levi's and Lee repros, but never Wranglers. The attention to detail is amazing. I'm not even sure who makes these (probably NOT Wrangler..duh!). I found a small "Made in Poland" label inside, but other than that, there is no indication that these are even a repro! Every detail is amazingly accurate!

Has anyone else seen these? Very cool.

I should add that these, like all good repro denim, were not cheap. $150. Also, since I don't know who makes them, I wouldn't know where one could even get a pair! I've never even seen these on Ebay.

I've seen aero sell them.

I'm not a big fan of the way Wranglers fit me, but maybe the older ones fit better.

I noticed the blue bell is at an angle on the inside, but on the tag it's straight. Is that correct? I'm not a huge blue bell expert.

What did you pay for them? They look very tough. What is the weight of the denim?

You know, they'd look great under an Open Road....

The wrangler website has many brands they make. And one is called Wrangler47. They claims everything you love about vintage but with updated fits and colors.

I'm no expert either, but with everything else going on with these jeans, I'm sure it's accurate! They are 12.5 oz denim. The little comic book attatched is copywrite 1956. These have a true, great loose vintage fit. Not the tight a** Wranglers from the 70's!

They're made by Wrangler Europe, who've vastly improved their products in the last few years. They're actually better made than the Wrangler Japan stuff Edwin puts out, which is shocking.
Good stuff.

Wow! These are really made by Wrangler? Have seen these anywhere else Mud? Did I get ripped off?

I am actually wearing a pair of those right now. I bought mine through Ebay from a seller in France. As far as I know they are only marketed to europe and japan. Here is the webpage where you can read about them: http://www.wrangler-bluebell.com/

What you paid sounds about right to me. After shipping mine were $148. In Europe I think the price is actually higher. This page has them for 159 Euro: http://www.vintagedenim.de/index.html?info.htm

Wow! That is them! Mystery solved!

They've been around in Europe for some time(years)-
we've discussed them here before, I think.

Congrats!

Coming to the States anytime soon

I'm from the New Mexico/Texas area originally. I have a vague recollection of my uncle wearing jeans that resembled these jeans when I was a kid. Do you think they'll ever make it to the States? They look cool. I'll tell you one thing though, this ol' goat-roper isn't paying $150 for ANY pair of jeans. I wince payin' $50 for a pair of Cinch black label jeans. What you boys been smokin'?
