Thanks for the video. I have a 1972 or 1974 jacket that I got for my birthday in the above years. I’m not sure which but the jacket is now 50 years old. I’ve never worn it. It’s very stiff, the denim was thicker back than I think. I have kept this jacket all of these years because my Grandma got it for me for my birthday.
Hi I like your video my dad did buy me a levis jacket when I was 1 or 2 years old, am 50 now so I believe that this jacket is tipe 3 for the information that I get from your video thanks I Stiller have it and I love my jacket problably I will going to give it to one of my grandsons in a future
Great video 👍 lots of help I'm in the west midlands UK I'm never going to find original Levi's big E type 1 or 2 but what I have found is a vintage type 1 and 2 LVC jackets for £25 each I'm happy they have the look and look great underneath my vintage Barbour international and vintage belstaff 👌 love mooching around vintage shops and market's 😎
When I worked in California about 20 years ago, I’d regularly visit the mom & pop stores and Saturday morning flea markets… I’d fill a couple of suitcases with old Levi’s 501’s and Type 2 and 3 jackets… you could buy them for $5 and less. Also old M65 US army jackets and navy deck jackets. I’d bring them back to U.K. then repeat the process every time I returned. Now I’ve got a whole stack in the attic - but only wear about 4 or 5 of the really old ones … so it’s time to think about EBay.
THREE DIGIT NUMBER STAMP DOES NOT ALWAYS INDICATE IT IS A REPRODUCTION. The deadstock example you showed from second sunrise has a 525 stamp and they date it to "Late 60s-71"
My grandpa has 60 years worth of work denim in his storage I’m going to go through it soon. I know for a fact he has type IIs hanging in there. He said I can have what I want.
Just a note in the cinch back. A two pronged cinch was used from the 1890s in the denim blouse, later becoming the 506XX, and 213. The sliding cinch is believed to have been introduced in 1944 by some collectors but it’s more likely it was introduced in 1947 when they bought the pocket flap back.
Ah interesting! Still wonder why that went on during the rationing times. I had the two prong one on a pair of lvc pants. It was useless 😂 went old school and cut it off ✂️
@@CeeAreDee haha yeah I’m not sure! Those war times were crazy for Levi’s I expect. I imagine the cinch is such a pain if you’re to sit down on anything too, scratching away at car seats and whatever else.
Hey Matt. Great video! I have what appears to be a vintage orange tab trucker jacket. Flared collar. I think it says 01 or F01 on the back of the buttons. I'd be interested to know how old it likely is? 70s perhaps?
Great video! I've been looking for resources to aid in narrowing down specifics while shopping online for Type III jackets from the 1980's-1990's. Can you recommend any videos or blogs that concentrate on reading date codes on the care tags, dates that the care tags changed (from red to black, to the current style, etc)? I'm shopping for a specific gift and am finding a lot of repeated, though good, information in my search and would appreciate any guidance!
Hmm. The dating with the care tags is a bit of a mystery to me I’ll admit. Maybe put a post up on Reddit or something like fedora lounge forum and see if anyone knows. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
Hi, Have you noticed that the type 2 jacket had some variations in front pocket size. I see some have bigger and I see some have smaller front back pockets. Are these different variations ?
Great video BUT I have a question and hope you can help. I want to buy a Vintage style jean jacket from Levi. On there site they describe the jacket like this "This worn-in, ’90s-inspired take on our Original Trucker Jacket was built with more room in the shoulder and sleeves and a boxy silhouette. Inspired by how people wore their Trucker Jackets in the '90s and designed with superior craftsmanship" What years in the 90s was the type 3 jacket bigger or boxier. No One ever talks about this difference and any help from anyone would be great thanks
I'd like to know too, I have two type 3 jackets from the 90s and one of them is slightly bigger in length and sleeves by a few inches despite both being a 40R
Hey, I have a couple type 3 truckers from the 70s I think (Small E, no hand warmer pockets). Is there any value there as vintage or is it only the Big E denim heads are into?
Off topic..apologies..i seem to remember in the early 70s on Scotlands East coast the shrink to fit jeans were a white or silver label? Also there was a Levis factory in Dundee then,also in rural Angus we bought Levis from the chemist which sold wellies, blaxnit socks,and Levis, the only Jeans prior to that were Woolworths big X jeans,Also the Fishermans association in Arbroath sold Lee jeans ,and Doc Martens ,especially shoes (early to mid 70s)
Mine has 526 just visible on some of the back buttons. I bought it in 1988 and it was super old then. The buttons on the back are far too worn down to have been manually done then - everythng else checks out. Interestingly - even though the label is long done - there is a small care label that is printed rather than woven - bought it from a woman in Camden who told me it was her Dads. She seemed genuine enough - i just bought it as it was nice and think I only paid about £15 - £20 so why would she lie?
I bought a Levi's jacket for my husband in the early 80's. It has the red Levi tag and the double breast pockets. It also has the Sherpa lining with quilted lining in the sleeves. There are no care instructions. The Levi tag on the inside is cloth with red lettering of Levi in all caps and San Francisco in all caps..Is it authentic? If so what do you think its worth..Still has its dark blue denim color and in excellent shape. No holes or rips.
Personal choice, think type 3 is the worst. Maybe due to how common it is these days. I saw a guy in my home town the other day wearing a well worn in type 2( almost certainly repro). Got to admit it looked great, he had obviously got a perfect fit as it was just spot on.
I have a Levis denim jacket, Cardboard patch, Made in Philippines is written on the tag can someone confirm what Year it might be? for its cloth, it looks like it got some age Hopefully someone could Help me. Thank you guys!
I’ve got a black Levi’s Jacket, bought in 1987, it has brown glazed buttons and the numbers 112 on the back. Care instructions label on the inside left handside pocket. Made in Great Britain. The card badge has a 9 digit number which is also on the care label. Does that sound real or a repro to you? Or anyone out there!?
I have a jacket my dad bought for me around 1962 or 3. It has a 557 XX label. Large E LEVI's label in the pocket. Two chest pockets and buttoned straps on the back on both sides. There are no rivets, just heavy yellow stitching next to the top of the pockets and at the top of the cuff seam. It has been worn, first by me and then by both of my daughters , so it has some condition issues. Most prominently, the stitching at the top edge of the collar has failed. But I can still wear it, as long as I don't have to button it up. Any idea of the value?
Oh nice. Hmm without seeing pictures I can’t really say. But perhaps around $150 to 250. Depends on the worn condition. But with that much family history, you sure you want to sell it?
I'm not interested in selling. I just want to be able to let my daughters know. They will have to decide who gets it after me. I'd like to send a couple photos, but don't know how to do it via this youtube site.
I recently bought a type three jacket, it has a small E, it has a stamp 524 on the metal button, it also has a big Ford patch on the back I’m not sure if this person worked for Ford motor company or if it was just put on the back himself but I’m wondering what year it’s from it has no hand warmer pockets the label is completely blank so it’s really hard to tell it’s very distressed I bought it for only 20 bucks but I plan on fixing it up because it looks fantastic…
I do find my Japanese salveged LEVIS are more like the weave we had in the 60s.. The lead indigo dye was alot harder to fade back then. When we 1st got them there was also like a white cotton , white fluff on the Denim, it took several washes before it disappeared. . Also because of the slim salveged looms there was lot of over stitching on the weave.. So the 501 Jean's felt much thicker. they were very raw!.. There were Button flys .52/6d and Zip flys 49/11d.. I was 70 this year but still have a passion fo LEVIS..And proper salveged Dinim.. I have a massive collection.. great channel. .👍👌
It’s an interesting time for denim for sure. All the move to the heavy washing and the open end spinning. Guess it’s not for the hardcore denim head and it’s not really hit a trend yet. It’ll come I’m sure.
@@CeeAreDee im not shure how to explain but somewhere in mid or late 80s there were jackets that had really deep arm holes so the sleeves started from middle of the body. They were a thing especially in leather and denim jackets. Actually they started earlyer but I belive 80s were prime time of that style. Im courious to know where that came from, I can easily imagine it was a Levi's thing, one cousin of my had vintage levis one in that style and I couldn't find about it much. He said it was called bat style apparently
Found a Levi's Type I at my local Goodwill and watched this video to help me date it. Seems to have all indicators of being an original from 1947 or after. The big E is there, only one side, no registered trademark, front flap, Levi Strauss buttons, cinch back (buckle is rudimentary and bit rusty). No leather tag, I can see where it WAS but it looks like its been gone a long time. Thing is, other than missing the tag and some of the seams for the pleats coming undone, its in really good condition which makes me question its age. Any idea if these were ever repro'd or heavily counterfeited?
How did you know this was the exact video I needed this week? Went charity shop shopping with my sister and we found this old levis jacket (sadly not in my size, but fit her like a glove), deffo wasn't 2000s or 90s and I've been trying to figure out when it was from. Without sounding too nerdy, although we're all denim geeks here let's just admit it, I'm gonna note down some key details before I see her next so I can pinpoint when the jacket was made. A bit of history on the jacket and I will slowly turn her into a denimhead. 😂 Keep up the great vids man

Thanks I enjoy this article I have a type one jacket, at least I think it’s a type one jacket and I think it’s kind of vintage it doesn’t have a label on the back I think that pretty much write it off along time ago has no sign of a care label on the left side as you said and there is not really a series of numbers on the back of the buttons although I see you I see a regular consistent number but no no way in the shape that you depicted in your video(It’s not a straight across number is one number on one side and another and another and you know so on three different aspects of the back certainly I can send you a picture of the jacket it has a small E, one pocket end it also has a loop to hang I found this jacket out west I’ll be more than happy to send you a picture if you’re interested in looking, But you have to let me know if you are interested and I will take detailed pictures of the jacket, I’m mildly interested to see if it’s a vintage jacket I really like the jacket quite a lot hold the button so Levi Strauss and so on the back has the house looks to be Brass and the rivets are copper, anyway, thanks for the article, and hope to hear from you
Hi Matt I bought a brand new with tags tan jacket I'm confused because on the tag it says 70505 however it's not cotton like everyone else's it's 60% Dacron polyester and 4096 Avril rayon it says Made in the USA has a white Levi tag with the small e I'm going to email you some pictures let me know what you think when you have a chance
Hey there, been binge watching your channel and love all your content! I was wondering what your opinion on APC denim is? I’m thinking of getting their selvedge standard Jean and selvedge denim trucker jacket to match. I know denimheads don’t love APC for the higher price, but is that all the hate, or is there more to the hate like quality? Thanks mate
They cost too much for being made Macau, lack some cool extra's such as a leather patch. That being said there is nothing that fades like apc's denim does, also their fits are all really solid.
I have seven pairs of Levis I'm selling. Mostly from the 80's, 631 in size 30, 505 in size 12 m, 631 is 31w, 538 in size 28. 550 in size 6m and 512 is also in size 6. Some are close to new, the 538 has a ripped knee. I also have 3 other pairs not Levis of jeans, one has a couple bow ties behind the ankle, Pelican Cove size 34. with heels very sexy, and a pair with lace and velvet flowered pattern. Been holding on to them for the past 30 years time to let them go. I'll post the pictures of them on my twitter and youtube channel If you could help me to sell them I would appreciate that very much. Thank you.
As someone who hits yard sales out here in California, this video really helped me with dating the Levi jackets I’m constantly seeing

I don't really like the type III because of the Vs, I prefer the straight lines of type II.
Plenty of 1967 - '71 big E jackets have 3 numbers on the back button so that is not a good indication of reproduction.

She seemed genuine enough - i just bought it as it was nice and think I only paid about £15 - £20 so why would she lie?
Does it have a big E or handwarmer pockets?
I just bought a new with tags vintage jacket I suspect from early 70s and my Snaps have that same marking on the back as yours
Bought lined levi at Sears 1983 it lasted for 10 years it's seamed to made of iron the new one are like sleepware
What’s up with the Sherpa jacket with a “Think Pink” ? Any information would be appreciated
Good
GOODJOB BRO
Thanks buddy.
Thanks I enjoy this article I have a type one jacket, at least I think it’s a type one jacket and I think it’s kind of vintage it doesn’t have a label on the back I think that pretty much write it off along time ago has no sign of a care label on the left side as you said and there is not really a series of numbers on the back of the buttons although I see you I see a regular consistent number but no no way in the shape that you depicted in your video(It’s not a straight across number is one number on one side and another and another and you know so on three different aspects of the back certainly I can send you a picture of the jacket it has a small E, one pocket end it also has a loop to hang I found this jacket out west I’ll be more than happy to send you a picture if you’re interested in looking, But you have to let me know if you are interested and I will take detailed pictures of the jacket, I’m mildly interested to see if it’s a vintage jacket I really like the jacket quite a lot hold the button so Levi Strauss and so on the back has the house looks to be Brass and the rivets are copper, anyway, thanks for the article, and hope to hear from you
I have a question what if the type 3 back button stamp number is 2 digits only what would be the possible date

Hi Matt I bought a brand new with tags tan jacket I'm confused because on the tag it says 70505 however it's not cotton like everyone else's it's 60% Dacron polyester and 4096 Avril rayon it says Made in the USA has a white Levi tag with the small e I'm going to email you some pictures let me know what you think when you have a chance
Sorry just now getting into this… I’ve found a gen 3… but it has pockets. What does this mean/how much does it cost?
Means it was made after 1982. Should be worth about 40 or 59 bucks.
Hey there, been binge watching your channel and love all your content!
I was wondering what your opinion on APC denim is? I’m thinking of getting their selvedge standard Jean and selvedge denim trucker jacket to match. I know denimheads don’t love APC for the higher price, but is that all the hate, or is there more to the hate like quality?
Thanks mate
They cost too much for being made Macau, lack some cool extra's such as a leather patch. That being said there is nothing that fades like apc's denim does, also their fits are all really solid.
I guess that's more collectors aimed?
Yeah. And the guy who maybe has something in the attic.
I have a hard time calling the type III "iconic" since it owes so much to the Lee 101J.
I have seven pairs of Levis I'm selling. Mostly from the 80's, 631 in size 30, 505 in size 12 m, 631 is 31w, 538 in size 28. 550 in size 6m and 512 is also in size 6. Some are close to new, the 538 has a ripped knee. I also have 3 other pairs not Levis of jeans, one has a couple bow ties behind the ankle, Pelican Cove size 34. with heels very sexy, and a pair with lace and velvet flowered pattern. Been holding on to them for the past 30 years time to let them go. I'll post the pictures of them on my twitter and youtube channel If you could help me to sell them I would appreciate that very much. Thank you.
Yes they invented everything including machines but i am not going to wear anything Levis when they are better options.
love the content but the face tracking makes me seasick just wanted to put my opinion out there
Yeah. It was a bit weird this time around with that. It seems to be the image stabilisation doing something funky. Hope the lens isn’t broken 😞
Oops, I was going to say don’t get vaccinated but it’s too late…😢
I have a jacket with all right tag don't know value
What’s an original official 1987 purchased #70507-4858 in excellent used condition worth?
Thanks!
