INTRODUCTION TO WRANGLER JEANSWrangler is a manufacturer of jeans and other clothing items. The brand is owned by the VF Corporation, who also own Lee, Jan Sport and The North Face, among others. Its headquarters is in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina, with production plants in a variety of locations throughout the world. Wrangler Jeans were first made by Blue Bell, who acquired the brand when they took over Casey Jones in the mid-1940s. Blue Bell employed Bernard Lichtenstein, a Polish tailor from Nodz who worked closely with cowboys, to help design jeans suitable for rodeo use. This was the origin of Wrangler Jeans. The 13MWZ style, introduced in 1947 as lot number 11MWZ, is still available worldwide. In addition to this, Wrangler has since introduced several other lines that are more designated towards a specific group or demographic. Some examples of this are 20X, Riggs and AuraWrangler is one of the three most popular American jeans brands. And here is the story of how this brand was born. It all stated in 1897 when a 20-year-old young man called S.S. Hudson came to a small textile town of Greensboro, North Carolina, to find a job. The first job offer Mr. Hudson managed to find was sewing buttons on a factory for 25 cents a day. And in seven years the factory went bankrupt. 1904 S.S. Hudson bought a couple of sewing machines, rented a room on the second floor of a grocery shop and registered his own company under the name of "Hudson Overall Co.". The company turned out to be quite a success and 15 years after its establishment it opened the first jeans manufacturing factory. Railroad men liked Hudson's creations to such extent, that they even presented him with a bell, which in course of time became blue because of small particles of indigo color. S.S. Hudson was inspired and renamed his company, which was then called "Blue Bell Overall Co.". 1926 he sold a successfully running company to a textile manufacture "Big Ben" for a hatful of money - 585 thousand dollars

We value our customers, and we strive for full customer satisfaction. Each item we manufacture carries a one-year warranty, which covers actual defects in materials or workmanship. Our warranty is a statement of Wranglers continuing commitment to high standards of quality.For many years, Wrangler has led the way in designing and manufacturing apparel known for superior comfort, function and durability. Soon, the brand will be recognized as a leader in developing protective jeans and shirts as wellA recent government reports have noted that the cause of severe and fatal burn injuries on the job is an individual's clothing igniting and continuing to burn -- not the source of the ignition itself. The use of flame resistant clothing provides the necessary thermal protection at the area of exposure. The level of protection resides in the weight and composition of the flame resistant fabric. Once the source of ignition is removed, FR garments will self-extinguish, allowing precious escape time and limiting the percentage of the body that is burned. Even though a person caught in a flash fire or arc flash will most likely still have injuries, FR clothing can greatly reduce their severity. And in many cases, it can make the difference between life and death.Wrangler FR apparel is constructed from flame resistant fabrics and components to protect against burn injuries in the workplace. Designed to meet the rigorous requirements specified by major protection agencies, Wrangler FR garments are yet another example of a leader stepping forward to provide for the needs of its consumers.
