Etymology

The word 'wrangler' originated in the mid-16th century, derived from the Middle English word 'wrangle' meaning to argue or dispute. Over time, the term evolved to refer to individuals who managed livestock on ranches. In the context of fashion, 'wrangler' became associated with rugged jeans designed for durability and practicality, often worn by cowboys and ranch workers. Today, 'wrangler' continues to be used to describe both a person who manages livestock and a style of jeans.
