What about Jeans Jackets ....

[MJF9]

Yes nice jacket Bartlebyyphonics. Post called it Japanese indigo swirl but not sure if there is a more historical name for it. Last week I had to reluctantly sell a Royal Traveller vest in the same fabric as it was just too big. The fabric is very fetching.

of course, yes! memory had failed. 

the royal traveller vest is def. on the list - watching out for one in the right fabric; needs a bit of structure but not too much. really like the design of them. you were wearing one with tcb 20s some while back? broadcloth?

[MJF9]

Yeah it's the navy broadcloth from this summer. It was a size down from my indigo swirl version but (even accounting for that) is a trimmer fit. I've found that the Traveller vest sizing varies depending on the year made. I've returned a few over the years but stuck with them doggedly as I also like the design and the fact they can serve warm weather over a shirt or tee or winter under a jacket. Happy hunting.

Nicely broken in - what kind of jacket is it? 

[jeffrx]

Cross-post from small questions - looking for any info on this type-III based on the labels.  Not sure if it is LVC, mainline Levis, Made and Crafted, etc....  I really have no idea..  All I know is what is on the tags shown and the denim is not selvedge.

This looks great! Well on your way to beating it up. I picked up the Caustic wave version of this and hope I can get it to start evolving like this! Love what 3Sixteen puts out.

Anyone got recommendations for a raw denim jacket with sherpa lining?

[JDelage]

I was about to ask the same question...  Cold in Seattle today...

[swiss-jeansfreak]

I had some old sherpa lined raw denim jackets from Levis an Wrangler in the 70-ies but I always love the old blanket lined Lee Stormrider denim jackets at most

[428CJ]

Just scored this LNWOT '70's sherpa-lined ranch style Storm Rider. I searched a bit for a dedicated vintage Lee thread, but I couldn't find one, so I am putting these pix here.

I've never been able to find out the actual name for this model of jacket. "Ranch jacket" is often used to describe them, but I don't think that's technically the correct Lee name for them.

 It has a mean crease in one of the lower front panels that I will have to steam iron out (not a problem). It has just the slightest hints of fades around the cuffs; they look to be those which would be caused by being shuffled about during decades of closet/drawer/box storage or the like. It has definitely never been wet, and if it has been worn, it doesn't show it – not a single fade mark outside of the ones I mentioned on some of the high points around the cuffs. It has just the faintest hint of a musty smell. IME with much worse musty smells in dead stock clothes, some air, sunlight, and a vinegar spritz should take care of this.

I have been looking for one of these in dead stock or similar condition for quite a while. I am very happy with my find...and it will make the perfect companion to my dead stock '70's Storm Rider jacket (which I plan on finally putting into the rotation this coming year, after I fully document its condition and construction details).

Fascinating design, it's like a denim jacket chimera.

[428CJ]

That's true, I suppose. A little bit 101J/standard Storm Rider, a little bit chore coat, a little bit parka, a little bit western shirt/jacket, a little bit pea coat... It has a lot going on, but it's very comfortable and warm, and I've always liked them in terms of style.

Great looking jacket Jared_Lee Perhaps you can ask them for a spare button. 

And I hope you recovered well again after your 2 accidents.

Wow what an awesome looking vintage 70-ies Lee sherpa lined denim jacket. 

It should be named Stormrider as well. 

Isn't it dtazed on the inside patch? Can you send me a pic of this label?

and I can't wait to see your other Stormrider update including the label as well

[Bobbo]

Damn Jared, what a comeback to the forum. 

Hope the accidents went well except the lost button!

[unders]

That looks great @428CJ

I'm sure I've seen an old photo of Townes Van Zandt wearing one of these
