Sun-bleached down to a soft pale blue, frayed at the hems where they dragged over boot heels — these put in the work. Not a fashion fade; a sun-and-saddle fade, the kind you can't buy new. If you like denim with a biography, this 13MWZ has one written all over it.
The Story
The 13MWZ is Wrangler's original cowboy cut, designed by tailor Rodeo Ben in 1947 after thirteen prototypes and still the official jean of professional rodeo. The long rise and high-set back pockets were built for life in the saddle. This pair lived that life — the heavy fade and worn hems are the proof.
