Likewise. I have a 1960/70s Levi's copy by "Jeans West" that goes well with a button down. It's navy needlecord, and like Brownshoe I'm still looking for a tan one.

Of course, you can get an argument over virtually anything on the forum, but just slightly veering off The Beatnik's subject for a moment, how about denim shirts?  There's a photograph somewhere of the artist Ellsworth Kelly looking very cool in one, I'm fairly sure I've seen John Simons wearing one, and I have a nice B.D. Baggie version in pretty pale blue.

I love Levis jackets, it looks really smart paired with a solid white or check/gingham shirt and you see the collar sticking out over the denim collar, providing a smart contrast

personally I'm not a fan of the Type 3 Trucker jacket, my favorite is the Type I from 1936 (with buckleback) but the Type II from 1954 (?) is a great jacket too

Much prefer over Lee stormrider jackets, which are nice too, but I'd rather Levis

... I have been talking to people out in the big wide world again...


"In London, while not strictly Ivy League, in the mid 60s a beige Suede Levi jacket with a brown leather collar was a highly prized possession. Denim not acceptable, because they were worn by Rockers, white acceptable because Rockers would not wear them because they got dirty to quickly.

Fact."

Keith Moon's jacket is based on a Lee Rider.
