Heritage & History
Wrangler was founded in 1947 in Greensboro, North Carolina by the Blue Bell company, developing a western-style jean specifically designed for the needs of cowboys and rodeo riders. The 13MWZ cowboy cut — developed with input from rodeo champion Freckles Brown — featured a slim fit through the seat and thigh that worked under chaps without binding, a high-rise waist that stayed tucked when riding, and hardware placed to avoid saddle sores.
Wrangler became the official sponsor of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the preferred jean of the western and country lifestyle. The brand's association with working cowboys, country music, and American rural culture made it a symbol of authentic American heritage that transcended regional identity. 'The real American jeans' positioning captured the brand's commitment to the workers who wear them rather than the fashion consumers who might buy any denim.
Made in Greensboro, North Carolina
Wrangler manufactures jeans and western wear at facilities including Greensboro, North Carolina, home of the company since its founding. Denim production involves weaving cotton yarn into the heavy twill fabric that gives jeans their durability, cutting and sewing with the reinforced seams and bartacked stress points that prevent failure at high-tension areas, and stonewashing or processing to achieve the desired finish and softness.
Greensboro is in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, historically the center of American textile and apparel manufacturing. Wrangler's North Carolina roots connect it to the state's deep textile heritage. For ranchers, construction workers, rodeo competitors, and anyone who wears jeans as work clothing rather than fashion, Wrangler's North Carolina manufacturing delivers 75+ years of American working denim.
