The word WRANGLER, used here for its EQUESTRIAN meaning, obviously made me think of the denim brand and its jeans – which were originally made to be worn while in the saddle and with wider legs to fit over cowboy boots.
They were also, according to my Google research, the jeans worn by Freddie Mercury of Queen and by Harrison Ford at his wedding. Fun facts, eh?
