| Original/Reproduction: Original |
AUTHENTIC VINTAGE ORIGINAL LEVIS LEVI'S 557XX BIG E ( CAPITAL E , UPPERCASE E ) BLUE DENIM JEAN TRUCKER JACKET DATED 1962-1966 ( 1960S ). IT IS LINED WITH TROY BLANKET WOOL LINING. MEN OR WOMEN
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENT IN INCHES LAID OUT FLAT AND BUTTONED:
19 INCHES - ARMPIT TO ARMPIT17 INCHES - WAIST24 INCHES - BACK OF TOP COLLAR TO BOTTOM32 INCHES - SLEEVES
I AM A MENS MEDIUM SIZE AND WOULD SAY THIS IS A SNUG JACKET AND CAN NOT BUTTON TOP AND BOTTOM BUTTONS, (ONLY T...HE BODY BUTTONS), SLEEVE LENGTH IS PERFECT. UNLESS YOU LIKE THE SNUG FIT AND WILL WEAR THIS JACKET UNBUTTONED.
I AM COMFORTABLE TO SAY THIS IS A MENS SMALL OR A MEDIUM TO LARGE IN WOMEN SIZE DUE TO WOOL LINING.
UNFORTUNATELY THE INSIDE LEVI'S TAG AND THE WHITE TROY WOOL BLANKET LABEL ARE MISSING. IN PICTURE 6 YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE STITCHING OF WHERE THE TROY LABEL WAS. AND IN PICTURE 12, YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK STITCHING OF WHERE THE LEVI'S TAG WAS. I MEASURED THE SIZE OF STITCHING BECAUSE IT DENOTES EARLY LABELS OF 557XX TYPE 3 TRUCKER JACKETS THAT DATE FROM 1962-1966. NEWER LABELS WERE SMALLER
ALSO, PICTURE 5 SHOWS THE NUMBER 17 IN THE BACK OF ALL THE BUTTONS, ALSO INDICATION THAT IT WAS AN EARLY 60s JACKET. BUTTONS 4 AND 6 FROM THE TOP HAVE A LITTLE SURFACE RUST. YOU CAN SEE IN PICTURE 2
ANOTHER DETAIL IS THAT THE "R" IN A WHITE CIRCLE (STANDS FOR REGISTERED TRADEMARK) IN THE RED LEVI'S TAG STARTED TO APPEAR DURING THIS TIME PERIOD PICTURE 1.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS YELLOW REINFORCEMENT STITCHING UNDER LEVI'S FLAP POCKET PICTURE 4, NEWER JACKETS WERE BLUE.
SINGLE YELLOW STITCHING IS ON THE BOTTOM BUTTON HOLE AREA PICTURE 1, NEWER HAVE DOUBLE STITCHING.
THE ONLY STAIN I COULD FIND IS IN THE CUFF OF ONE OF THE SLEEVES, PICTURE 8, IT'S NEARLY INVISIBLE AND LIKELY TO WASH OFF WITH DAWN SOAP. ALTHOUGH I DON'T RECOMMEND TO WASH THIS JACKET, IT MAY SHRINK MORE.
PICTURE 7 HAS A LITTLE DISTRESS IN THE FOREARM AREA AND YOU CAN SEE VERY LITTLE OF THE WHOOL IN THE SEAM, NOTHING MAJOR.
THE ONLY DAMAGE THAT I CAN SEE IS A DIME SIZE HOLE ON THE INSIDE COLLAR PICTURE 11, THAT AREA HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE WITH A PEICE OF DENIM. AGAIN, NO BIGGIE. WEAR LIKE THIS ONLY ADDS CHARACTER TO THIS ALREADY WELL WORN JACKET.
THIS JACKET DID NOT HAVE TWO SIDE HAND POCKETS LIKE THEY DID IN THE 90S.
THIS JACKET HAS AUTHENTIC WEAR SINCE NEW AND IT WOULD BE AN AWESOME PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR WARDROBE. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR AUTHENTIC WEAR. THE WOOL HAS NO DAMAGE AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION OF IT IN PICTURES 9 AND 10.
THERE IS NO JACKET LIKE MINE ON EBAY PRICED THIS LOW. PLEASE DO RESEARCH, MY JACKET IS FREE OF HOLES AND IT IS CLEAN.
