WRANGLER 13MWZ (early 1970s)

 This is a 1970s 13MWZ with broken denim, unlike the late 1960s 13MWZ, which used left twill denim. There is no difference in the details, but because the fabric has changed, the feel of the item itself has also changed.

flasher

A National Cowboy Champion wearing a Wrangler is shown above, but it goes all the way back to 1970's Larry Mahan, so you can tell it was made after 1970. The bluebell mark is taken from the plapatch.

leaflet

The pamphlet was in the left back pocket. The article mentions that he has been voted cowboy world champion every year and that he is the most comfortable to ride a horse with an easy fit, even from the top of his boots.

Strong fabric, sturdy zippers, rivets and cannouki reinforcements in all areas under load, heavyweight stitching in the pockets, strong thread use, and numerous belt loops are some of the selling points.

Over 14oz of broken denim. Even in rigid condition, there are some vertical streaks in some parts, so it is expected to have a vertical drop like this period.
