WRANGLER 11MWB (late 1940s)

 This was the first Wrangler model that went through the prototype model and was released as a production version. The "W" of the "WRANGLER" logo on the inner tag is characterized by the rope winding inside. In the production version, the back pocket stitching has been changed from the arcuate stitching in the prototype to the familiar "W" stitching in the production version.
