What about Jeans Jackets ....

[mopar_jj]

hey guys is there a website describing all the different types of Levis jackets.? I have a couple that I would like to date but it is difficult because the tags are gone.

Hey Bijan - tks for the site, i couldnt remember the addy. Looks like I got a 557xx jacket from 1967-68 - too bad it in rough shape

tks

i just got the samurai western shirt. its not a jacket, but at 10.5 oz it feels like one and keeps me warm enough in it.

[Bobbejaan]

I wear a conny dry. But havent worn it a lot.

i also have a LVC jacket from back in the day.

And a diesel jacket.

And a gsus jacket

And a wrangler jacket.

Just got this in from 200db the other day (thanks for filling the order!). Samurai SO552CX.

It's a one-wash. Pretty snug, but not uncomfortable. I don't know how to wear it though. Open or closed? None of my shirts are short enough to wear with it when open, so they have to be tucked in. Any advice?

EDIT: Also, is there a Levis jacket that this is based on? I looked at pics of Type 1, 2, and 3s, along with 213s, but I'm not sure what this is based on.

^ looks like it's based on levi's type 2 (507) jackets. very naaaas.

i think it looks good both ways you're wearing, open and closed. one thing i think you can improve in your current outfit is your belt. i wish it was a little more heavy duty. and something raw.

[nettiemoore]

i think it looks better with the buttons done up myself.

[Panda-san]

^ I agree, I only wore that belt because I wanted to see how the jacket fell around the belt line.

As soon as Kiya gets them in, I'll be ordering a tan Sugar Cane (non-studded) belt.

I don't post here so often, but what the hell. . .here is my little assortment. .

LVC type 2 jacket:

70s Wrangler jacket:

70s Levis trucker jacket:

Early 70s BlueBell Maverick jacket:

60s Levis Big E jacket:

Levis racer jacket circa 2005:

GAP type 2 jacket:

very nice jacket!

In my opinion, the shirt you wear can be a bit longer than the jacket, if its not like 10 inches or so. Its a short jacket after all, so hard to avoid, and everything cant/should´t be tucked.

My newest addition, Levi's RED

I love the slim fit, plus the longer than traditional jean jacket length!

[No -]

^NICE! :eek:

[sneakeraddict]

I got it at a Levi's store here in Taiwan. I think they brought it over from Japan? The tags are all in Japanese.

Knew it was too cool for the Uk / Europe market. :rolleyes:

Fantastic buy.

Aha...early blessing , I guess...

I'll post some pics of the fit as soon as the postman spreads some joy over here..

Have a great day - I guess we'll see ur new cargos soon...

[superBobo]

That might very well be possible they are in really good shape for 40+ year old pants, and the washer didnt seem to do them any harm.

good luck with mr postman, they can be sneaky bastards and let you wait in vein !

[beatle]

Thanks...Have to find out if it´s too big ...always difficult , most Samurai shirts and Jackets have sleeves that are too short for me....that size the sleeves are allright - but maybe the rest of the Jacket is too big..we shall find out soon
