- The brand ラングラー is a staple of the アメカジ style, a Japanese fashion movement dedicated to recreating a romanticized version of mid-century American workwear.
- Because Japanese is a syllable-based language, the English 'r' and 'l' sounds are merged into a single sound in ラングラー, making 'Wrangler' and 'Wangler' sound identical.
- In Japanese, the word ラングラー is written using the katakana alphabet, which is specifically used for foreign loanwords and brand names to distinguish them from native words.
