Label Text:During the 1970s, American heritage brand Wrangler began abandoning its traditional products for more fashionable denim looks. Rendered in a red, white, and blue patchwork-print denim, these Wrangler “Flare Leg” jeans appropriate the aesthetic of the counterculture movement. The only links to traditional Wrangler jeans are the signature “W” stitching and the leather label on the back pockets.
