Raw dark indigo, near untouched — the orange contrast stitch sharp, the denim still drinking light. This is the Wrangler Cowboy Cut in the high-rise women's block, made in the USA, 100% cotton: W-stitch pockets, leather patch, brass shank button, the long rise that nips the waist and blooms at the hip. Reads close to deadstock. The high-waist western look people keep coming back for.
The Story
Wrangler's Cowboy Cut traces to the 13MWZ, designed in 1947 by tailor "Rodeo Ben" Lichtenstein for Blue Bell and refined across thirteen rodeo-tested prototypes — still the official ProRodeo jean. This is the Made-in-USA women's high-rise version of that lineage, preserved unusually clean.
