This Wrangler jacket is a homage of a classic Wrangler Blue Bell 11MJ jacket from the late 40´s. One of the most iconic details is the so called action-back, the folded fabric at the shoulders that gives you freedom to move while still keeping the silhouette slim. The detail was also common on motorcycle jackets in the 40/50s where the idea is just the same. The pleated front is also a way to give the otherwise sturdy denim fabric some flexibility and the dots that keep the fold in place are built up by closely spaces stitches, a detail that has proven to stand the test of time compared to many other solutions, where more loosely spaced stitches come out after a decade or two and rivets rand to eat a hole in the fabric as the wearer moves through life.
The jacket is a reproduction of the very first Wrangler Blue Bell jacket designed by the legendary Rodeo Ben, named 11MJ. The back has a beautiful machine made Wrangler jeans embroidery. The originals of these jackets were made to sponsor rodeo stars in the 40s. This reproduction was made in a limited edition by Wrangler in the early 20 th century.
This jacket is second hand but in a very good condition without any signs of wear.
