1970s / 1980s | Wrangler | 13MWZ Cowboy Jeans | Made in USA – w33

Description:

Item:
Wrangler 13MWZ cowboy jeans in classic deep indigo denim. High-rise waist, straight leg cut, heavy-weight construction with copper rivets, signature “W” stitch on the rear pockets and original Wrangler leather patch. Built to withstand rodeo and ranch work, with that unmistakable rigid structure that defines early Wrangler denim.

Era:
Late 1970s to early 1980s

Brand:
Wrangler

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. Strong colour throughout with very minimal wear. No thinning, repairs or damage. Denim remains crisp and structured, showing only light, honest use. A particularly clean example.

Provenance Note:
The 13MWZ is Wrangler’s most iconic model, designed specifically for professional cowboys and competitive rodeo. These early Made in USA pairs represent true utility denim, engineered for durability rather than fashion. The fabric weight, stitching quality and construction standards far exceed modern production. Finding original examples in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult, making this a serious and highly desirable piece of American workwear heritage.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.

Returns:

We are a micro business and sadly cannot cover the cost of returns.

We accept refunds within 14 days of the item arriving with you if you are in the UK and 30 days for Europe and International.
