I wish lynn downey or someone at levis would just go through the company archives/documents/orders and make a definitive Levi's collectors guide so we dont have to do all this guess work!

next time you see a normal 557 XX with 'every garment guaranteed' please post some pics! I have never seen it other than on the blanket lined ones.
As paul has mentioned there are just sooo many type III's still floating around these days which is why they dont command the same prices as older models, its beyond me why someone would buy a type 3 repro!
Ps speaking of which i have a spare type 3 in a 42 chest if anyone wants it cheap? PM me

Years ago, I used to hear plenty of claims from various dealers and collectors alike, that the 507xx and 557xx were in simultaneous production for a few years. Whether this is true or not I cant be sure, but only speculate.
I dont doubt this claim actually, something to note and particularly with your jacket is that it has the 'every garment guaranteed' on the patch, i believe it was circa 1962 when that went. The funny thing is that Its only blanket lined type III jackets (559 XX) that have this as far as I am aware! ***edit*** Maybe the blanket lined ones where released before the normal ones?***
I didn't know that about the '17' stamp either, i always assumed it was only a 507 thing and from what i have personally seen very early XX type III's have a 'D' stamp moving on to '0' and then 554/556 etc. So your '17' stamp is proof of the 'simultaneous production'.
Funny thing is I was just offered a really early 60's 557 XX yesterday with 'D' stamp for £60 but passed on it! These jackets don't get the love they deserve imo!

I normally I take all my stuff to stitchcraft on south molton street in the west end but on this occasion I took it to a little local shop just off bethnal green road called needlepoint as the guy in there was nice enough to let me watch/orchestrate every move!

X-post from repairs thread,
So a couple weeks ago I bought this pretty f***ed up 1940's type 1 jacket from Spitalfields Market in London which fit me perfectly being a size 42 as a bit of a 'restoration project'.The price was right but i knew restoration can be a sensitive subject amongst collectors, infact people i asked gave me mixed opinions on whether or not to go ahead with this!
I happend to have some old early 60's fabric from some 501 cut offs that had a similar fade to the jacket so I knew I could get it pretty close... after buying a pair of early 50's XX cutoffs for 15 dollars on ebay for its single sided big E red tab and period correct top button, I took it to my local tailor with another type 1 I have as a referance and here are the results! I must stress before everyone gets mad at me that this is completely reversible!! Only regret (so far) is is that I sacrificed the correct thread colour to have the correct thread weight/thickness instead.

if you are wondering my best bet is your storm rider is early 70's, notice the 'MR' on the patch? Older storm riders dont have the MR
