Wrangler Repro Appreciate Thread

[Dr_Heech]

Not made in USA though @shredwin_206 ?

[shredwin_206]

@Dr_Heech I’ll have to double check I can’t remember if this pair is USA made or Mexico made 

[cheapmuthafukr]

I didn’t know these existed, and I’m in love.

[Maynard Friedman]

Do you know which Wrangler model they’re based on or are they just a generic Wrangler repro style?

Looks like late 40s with the offset belt loop and button fly. I can’t find anything on this particular Denime model… and don’t recall ever seeing these before.

Ha! I actually stumbled across this exact eBay listing and was going to share it before getting sidetracked and forgetting. Glad that somebody got them! They were not my size.

I’m glad you didn’t. The same seller has a bunch of stuff… trying to decide if I need any of it.

Yeah I remember this seller now. They have all sorts of unique Orrizonti and Shins era pants (corduroys, bootcut denim, black denim, etc.) among other things (older Warehouse and Full Count items). I almost bought an Orrizonti era pair of tan bootcut Bedford cords at one point that are gone now. Nothing is in my size so you're safe from me.

Heads up to anyone in Australia, Archive Wranglers are available on the Wranglers AU webstore .

@yung_flynn or @cheapmuthafukr, either of you care to share the wealth? This ebay seller sounds like they're worth a look!

Some of the stuff has gotten picked over, but there are still some cool Orrizonti era Bedford jeans and bootcuts.

I’m still tempted by the Jelado 301xx.

Also a fan of this, though the reviews hilariously trash the embroidery which is the selling point for me:

Love the 13MWZ and always wanted a raw selvedge version. I’ll be grabbing the jeans at some point.

Curious if anyone has any experience or further info on the few repros that Junky stocks.

http://item-jkstyle.shop-pro.jp/?mode=grp&gid=109875&sort=p

 

Don’t know if they are old Edwin made pairs or something done through Lee/Wrangler Japan’s archives.

[Maynard Friedman]

I’m pretty sure the Wrangler archives pairs are made under licence by Edwin.

I believe Lee have been made under licence at various times by Edwin and Real McCoys, and possibly Warehouse.

[Lorcan]

Junky seems to have the current jeans line up of Wrangler Archives minus the jackets https://wrangler-jeans.jp/features/archives_pc.html (also note the Edwin Co., Ltd copyright at the bottom of the page).

I think the consensus at least with the Lee stuff is that it's a good repro? Better job than say LVC does with Levi's. I think they did a 1948 prototype model repro at some point as well as the 50s stuff, but might have to look second hand for those.

[shredwin_206]

sold out immediately while back. ! But these are one of the best Wrangler repros I’ve seen. They nailed every detail of the original pair. 
I know I’m probably the only vintage Wrangler fan on the forum, but I always get excited when someone does a proper wrangler repro.

^^^I'm way overstocked with jeans but nevertheless I would buy those in a heartbeat.

They sold out everywhere immediately. Then I somehow found the one pair in all of Japan and it was my size. 
needless to say it was a sign. They’re already en route….

[CSL]

Congrats!^^^

Come on, you know you’ve got some company there

Looking forward to seeing the new score

[shredwin_206]

@julian-wolf you’re right! A few of us Wrangler fanatics that tend to stick together

You only have to check the vintage repros thread to see my credentials 😉

@shredwin_206 looks like Warehouse are bringing out the Wrangler 111 MJ prototype jacket from 1947. No shoulder vents or 'action back' elastic strips on this one plus it has the Levis-esque style pleat box stitching as opposed to the Dot-tack type. Released this summer.

 

 

[shredwin_206]

@Dr_Heech that’s a beauty 

[CSL]

So was there ever a jacket like that with one pocket instead of two?

I saw one on a Japanese site. Don't know if it was a repro of something that actually existed or just the manufacturer's imagination...

Never seen a 111MJ with one pocket but doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. Which site? Was it recent?
