Wrangler prepares to celebrate a special milestone, which is its 75th anniversary, and to mark the occasion, the imprint unveils the Wrangler Reissue collection. The brand draws inspiration from its own past designs, translated through vintage photography and retro print ads.
The iconic shapes make their way to the latest collection, made up of 100% cotton and twill pants along with jackets. It boasts cropped hems and sleek tailoring to deliver a modern perspective on retro looks. The Selvedge denim jacket is modeled after the iconic 24MJZ and is detailed with pleating along the front to create a slight edge. This is followed by a unisex jacket in red to nod to the classic trucker silhouette.
