Isn't it. Thought you would like it

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

There is a 60s 111MJ with a single chest pocket and 2x slot / handwarmer pockets.

SC (and i assume others) repro'd it.. ugly as sin tho.. nothing like the above^

edit- this'un

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...

Saw this in my old Boon Extra (vol 4) Denim jackets magazine from 1995, repro 1 pocket - was it this one maybe?

The early lined Bluebell Wrangler jackets had an 8 prefix, for example the 888MJL (men's jacket, lined) which was the lined version of the 1940's 11MJ and the 1950's 111MJ (similar jackets but different Lot numbers). Here is the original 1958 8MZL (Men's, zipper, lined) which your Wrangler archives repro is based from -

 

Looks like alot of changes around 1956-58 judging by this line up. Lots of 3 pocket models with zippers, plus at the top of the page the 111MJ now has buttons and hand warmer pockets (plus bottom right is the lined version 8MJL) - a brief transitional model before becoming the 3 pocket 111MJ that Neal posted earlier. 

The bottom left 22MJZ is the same as the one l own, pictures somewhere in the vintage denim thread.

Hard disagree 00, those are some of the coolest jackets out there, right up with the even-cooler-but-conceptually-similar 91B

Yes! This is the one I saw. Thanks Dr_Heech!

Remembering my old European repro Bluebell's Wrangler denim set, the 1947 jeans had the W's as they couldn't reproduce levi style arcs in 2004 due to legislation,  l wonder why Warehouse get away with it?

Also the jacket had the Dot-tack stitching to hold the pleats down and the extra vents at the shoulders so maybe not a true 1947 repro. 

But somehow l prefer this -

To this -

But it's only my preference.

The denim and stitching on your Warehouse pair look so much like the original compared to the denim and (poly-cotton) stitching on the (now vintage) Euro repros.  The double arc must be their way around any trademark infringement. Nice.

Not sure if anyone caught this one. 

i+w x Wrangler 10MW white oak selvage – imogene + willie

Imogene & Willie x Wrangler 10MW, which was only available for one year 1964-1965. 

Already sold out, but there is another capsule collection releasing on the 24th I believe.
