Wrangler Expands Made in USA Rooted Collection
March 21, 2022 Wrangler is expanding its Rooted Collection – a line of jeans and shirts grown, cut, and sewn in the U.S.
For Spring 2022, the brand has introduced a men’s and women’s jean made completely from U.S.-grown sustainable cotton, along with additional state-specific jeans for Alabama, California, North Carolina, and Texas.
The Rooted Collection was introduced to celebrate local farmers, promote sustainable farming practices, and highlight the quality of American craftsmanship. Contributing to the brand’s goal of 100% sustainable cotton usage by 2025 as part of its WeCare Wrangler platform, all cotton in the collection is traceable to individual farms in each jean’s respective state.
Each farm was selected for the program due to their commitment to responsible land stewardship practices. Participating farms include Martin Family Farm (Alabama), Tri T Farms (California), Buie Family Farm (North Carolina), and Vanderman Farms (Texas).
Every Rooted Collection state jean features subtle, but classic, elements like custom metal shanks, rivets, patches, and pocket prints unique to that state. A custom stamp on the pocket lining spotlights each farmer’s name and signature, while the other side highlights their work ethic and responsible land stewardship.
Along with the premium denim, the brand is also releasing sustainable t-shirts for 13 individual states – Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Wyoming, and Texas – as well as additional USA-inspired designs.
“From start to finish, our approach to this collection reflects the attitude of farmers toward the earth – responsible, respectful and rooted in U.S. soil,” said Allen Montgomery, Vice President, Wrangler Western and Workwear. “The goal of the Rooted Collection is to honor the American farmer and promote traceability and sustainable farming practices including soil health, water saving techniques, and regenerative agriculture.”
The Wrangler Rooted Collection for men and women is available online at Wrangler.com and in select retailers.
