Wrangler Repro Appreciate Thread

[gimmegimme]

Probably the least appreciated, Wrangler repros deserve some more attention around here. It seems as though most Japanese repro companies have focused on Levi's and Lee, and throw in a few of Wrangler's details now and then...possibly because up until recently, the back pocket stitching was a big priority...and in that category, Wrangler gets no love. (just my theory)

Link to DDML's Wrangler info page.

Studio D'Artisan XS-26

Samurai S0210xj (with Lee stitching and Lee-style LH twill)

i do quite like wrangler's broken twill aesthetic, however the W arcuate really doesn't do it for me.

[gimmegimme]

^ I liked Sam's approach of doing another style pocket-stitching, but in dark blue, so it wasn't pronounced.

i'm a sucker for old wrangler jacket designs. this one on the far left is a repro made by edwin japan:

though, i've read original ones used chainstitching for the type on the back. mine is a regular applique.

[gimmegimme]

^^ Is that the jacket featured in Lightning Vol. 2? I was flipping through last night and I remember seeing it.

[coleslawyum]

Wrangler's probably the most underated, because of its presence at rodeo shows. However, the history and heritage is hard to be denied. For instance, chicken's jacket is pretty bananas.

quite possible. i see different versions of it popping around here and there.

I like the Maverick jackets. I think those are the ones that don't have the W stitched pockets, right?

[gimmegimme]

^ I think they have an upside-down W (well...an M...for maverick).

[ang_kangkong]

Think you're right. Which ones didn't have stitching on the pockets, then?

[Chicken]

jc penny?

:confused:

Edwin Wranglers

[Mr Black]

Love those S.D'A's in the 1st post. Are these still available anywhere?

[gimmegimme]

^ not likely...you can troll around the rakuten shops and maybe send Take5 an email though.

More info here.

The best wrangler repros I think are done by yamane, these are the models he uses his no.0 denim for. I think the line is called hayoki? theres pics on rakuten if you search....denim and design looks amazing though Im not too keen on the pronounced W stitching....

[gimmegimme]

^^ pics

Personally, I've yet to see one pair of Yamane jeans that have a nice back pocket design...but that's just me.

[ktouran6923]

^very true

[superBobo]

anyone got the Bluebell 11mws? Ive thought about getting them from cultizm, but unsure of how they look worn.

[gimmegimme]

And the $600 version with the nice denim:

[ktouran6923]

wheres edmond? why hasnt he bought a pair yet?

[gimmegimme]

Ed's only into 66 cuts.

[ang_kangkong]

What are these then? I thought they were Maverick, but I ran the thing through google translator, and my Engrish isn't that good.

You're right...those are indeed Maverick. I had only seen Maverick jackets with the M logo like this before:

Does Maverick have any affiliation to Wranger or Bluebell?

[thomas_highstreet]

i have that very ['maverick'] jacket, nice selvedge and all has bluebell hardwear etc.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

I'm still waiting for Evisu's Fall line for these to come out

Which one, the one I linked or gimme's? If it's the one I linked, I'd like to know where you went and got it.

[ktouran6923]

I plan to be all over the evisu ones, any updates on those?

[thomas_highstreet]

haha no not the one you linked, the basic one like gimme posted. that linked one with the riveted pleats was mad cool!

i got it from a US vintage denim seller

[fallen angels]

i really appreciate these <brand> repro appreciation threads.
