WRANGLER 11BZX (1957-1958) <Denim Archives>

This is a boys' model of 11MWZ, I think it was made in 1957-58. Although the target age is 14 years old, the waist is 27 inches, and because of the slightly loose silhouette, it can be worn sufficiently by slender Japanese men. Unlike the youth model 11YWZ, the top button is a snap button, which is the specification of a product for children. The familiar gimmie book is included, as is the adult male model.

The flasher, gimmie book, and tags all come with it.

11YWZ was not so thick, but the 11YWZ is a little thicker and straighter.

Like 11YWZ, there are belt loops at the back, in the center and on the left and right. In addition, the center is offset, but the way the left and right are displaced is the opposite of 11YWZ and is shifted to the right.

flasher, patch

A window has been added so that the patch can be seen. Underneath is a Rodeo Champion dating back to 1957, so we can assume that this is a 1957-58 product. The patch is made of plastic and has the bluebell mark on it, but it doesn't have the ○R on it yet.

tag

"REGULAR" means "silhouette". Other markings include zip fly, part number, size, and denim ounce count; 11YWZ was 11 ounces, but the ounce count has gone up a notch.

inner tag

On the print tag, the bluebell mark is slanted. The patch didn't have the "○R" notation, but it is in the inner tag.

gimmie book

It's a gimmie book that's said to be collectible, but unfortunately the back cover has been cut out. Mr. "Deb Copenhaver" on the cover is the 1955/56 champion of the rodeo event called Saddle Bronc.

gimmie book

The left page of the book contains an introduction to Blue Bell's products and a warranty on the replacement and return of defective products.

back pocket

Slightly vertical back pocket. The top is riveted." The "W" stitching is slightly deeper. At first glance, the processing of the parts to be crossed and so on is not very good.
