What about Jeans Jackets ....

[jake431]

My Levi's 507xx jacket just arrived from Japan and I'm pretty soaked. I'll post some pictures after I soak them.

Intentional pun - "pretty soaked"?

[jstavrin]

Shit, you beat be to the edit by a minute. Unintentional!

[jake431]

Ha! No worries. Got soaking on the mind, I'd guess. Take some pre-soak/post-soak comparison shots, if you can, please...

My Levi's 507xx jacket just arrived from Japan and I'm pretty stoked. I'll post some pictures after I soak them.

Did you get the one from vari in the end ?

[jstavrin]

Yes. If that was you that provided the link, then thank you.

Still not sure if I should soak this thing. Denim isn't very stiff which makes me think it might be one-wash. The sleeve-length is also perfect and I wouldn't want to effect them. Should I just cold soak?

[Guest patchmb]

^ A quick cold soak should be fine. You got yourself a bargain there.

Anyone ever bought that dry bones chore jacket? I always really liked the design.

Hi guys new here but been lurking for a good while. Hey jstavrin, got any pictures if that 507 yet? I've had one on my wish list for a long time. BTW, why the japanese version... and where'd you source it again? TIA.

Here is the link Doug. They only have Large left.

[jstavrin]

And I'm pretty sure they run small. I generally wear Medium and the Large fits me perfectly.

[Doug C]

I'll be looking for those pics then.. and thanks for that link too patchmb. Umm, I don't know but I may need a xl, I'm about 5'10" 185 and I will be wanting to wash it a couple times a year or so (dry in the sun).

On another note - Does anyone here own any of the WWII USN Denim jackets (jumpers or whatever they're officially called), shawl collar, anchor buttons, etc. from any of the japanese repro companies? Cushman offers (or did offer) one that looks great from the pics I've seen anyway. It has white contrasting thread which I know is not an accurate representation but I think it helps the design. Anyone else seen it? I look for a link.

I am looking for a denim jacket myself but I can never one that fits. Theyre all too big

The only one that does fit are the XXS and XS American Apparel ones but I am wanting a 'real' one. Any recommendations?

[Mr Black]

Can you not go vintage? My wife picked up a lovely one many years ago. pleated front, selvage.

I'd put it at a mens XS or XXS. Think there's a picture of it earlier in this thread somewhere.

[computurd]

Yeah trust me, everytime I go to a thrift store the first thing I check are denim jackets

Never been able to find one that fits

[cheapmuthafukr]

that sucks... my everyday wearer is a vintage one from the thrift store.

put a big e type 3 on hold at the vintage shop in my hood... i think they want 30 for it, but im gonna try to trade in some vintage pieces to get the price down. needs some repairs at the waistband, but besides that is in good shape and has plenty of indigo left.

Men's jackets go down to 34, and then you're in boy's sizes. You might be able to find something in the kid's section of your thrift stores, or because they're a tiny size they might have been filed in to the women's section (make sure the buttons are on the right side), but for a 34 or 36 men's jacket I would only check ebay. I doubt you'll find those sizes in thrift stores very often; I've only found a size 34 jacket once over the years and years that I've been thrifting.

LEVI'S jacket i just picked up from the vintage store... traded a pair of vintage lees and a pair of vintage shoes.

[dralfonzo]

good trade you swine, can you take some closer pics?

[cheapmuthafukr]

maybe... if the sun comes out here

[cheapmuthafukr]

with flash, but better than nothing.

couldnt get a good pic of the tab... this is the best you get. shows the nice curling tho.

its a little big on me... arms are pretty baggy and long... it fits pretty well in the chest tho when its buttoned, so should work fine with a sweatshirt or sweater under it.

[benz5521]

Not a jacket but still cool. Didn't want to start a new thread. Selvage denim.

very nice very jealous. It's nice to be able to wear stuff underneath it anyway. Love the wear on the arm looks great, it'll look amazing in a years time

[cheapmuthafukr]

maybe... its not gonna get alot of wear now... at least until i get too fat for my foremost... but i have always wanted a big e jacket, so ill just keep it around. not like its not gonna look good 10 years from now.
