They look like a modern repro to me but l'm sure others with more knowledge here can chip in (?)

Thanks guys. So what is a repro? And as Sympathy mentioned, are they from the 1960’s? Thanks. I know nothing about the history of wranglers and google isn’t fruitful.

Sorry. Bad eyes misread the post as saying 60’s. When it said 00’s.
So these are from the early 2000s, reproductions of old blue bells, right? Kinda like the LVC line? |

Yea correct. Reproduction of old jeans. Not actual vintage

The originals did not have that yellow wash instruction tag inside with Size markings and possibly Made in USA/Romania/Turkey written in it.

Hi there,
I’m trying to ID a pair I just picked up. I’m guessing repros just because of the good condition. Any informative paper tags have been removed. They have a straight blue bell on the back pocket tag and a crooked blue bell on the tag, backside of fly. From the fit I’d guess 11MWZ, as it has a zipper but a looser fit than any 13MWZ’s I’ve worn. Looks to be LHT and the selvedge line is orange and green. Not a mixture but two lines. Pardon my ignorance and thanks for any help! PS-asked the seller, no help. |
