Authentic 1970s Wrangler High-Rise Denim Shorts (1973–1977)

An extremely rare, true vintage pair of Wrangler denim shorts from the mid-1970s (’73–’77). These feature every iconic hallmark of the era: deep copper-orange contrast stitching, heavy cotton non-stretch denim, metal YOZZ zipper, reinforced X-stitch belt loops, and the original 70s one-piece waistband construction. These were built to last — and they have. No modern reproduction feels like these do. 📜 A Bit of Wrangler History (Add-On Blurb) Wrangler’s 1970s denim era is considered one of the brand’s golden ages. During 1973–1977, Wrangler shifted from rodeo-specific denim into global youth fashion — introducing thicker cotton weaves, the now-iconic burnt-orange stitching, and hardware from small U.S. metal suppliers such as YOZZ. These details are only found during this window of time, making pieces like this highly collectible for vintage denim enthusiasts, stylists, and stage/film costumers. ⸻ 📏 Measurements — taken flat All measurements are taken while the garment is lying flat.
