formariz 11,865 #1 Posted January 23, 2021 From 1910 when there was pride in the quality of one’s product. Stamped 2nd quality and sold at a lower price. Quite honestly the only problem I ever found with the ones stamped this way was that the patent date or brand stamp were stamped a little light making it hard to read. 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,333 #2 Posted January 23, 2021 I've seen shirts labeled that way in the past. "seconds" Had a few but never got one I've figured out what the problem is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you'll find a thread that doesn't look quite right or a spot somewhere, but most of the time you'd never know it unless you sat there and studied them. They get roughly $8 for a pair of Wranglers that are normally $25+. Good enough for me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
