In 1948, Rodeo Ben, a famous rodeo personality and Hollywood Designer was commissioned by Blue Bell to design the new Wrangler Product Line.

In 1948, Wrangler introduced its first denim jacket, the Model 11MJ. It was produced with a button front until 1950 when the buttons were replaced by a zip front. The jacket featured vents on the back of the shoulder seams that were held in place by elastic strips sewn on the inside of the jackets. The design also included backstraps with buckles on the outside of the jackets. It was tailored to give a tighter fit and still allow free movement. The early design also featured the famous pleats alongside the buttons in the front. The Wrangler labels sewn into these early products contained the Blue Bell Logo in addition to the Wrangler Name.
