Re: Levis jackets

Exactly Mr Klook sir. I think a dark blue levis jacket looks great with a button down. Also Brownshoe's tan cord jacket idea sounds good.

Re: Levis jackets

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.

Re: Levis jackets

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.

Re: Levis jackets

I can see me wearing one. As long as it's not a cowboy shirt with pearl snaps and stuff. I remember some good looking denim button downs by Ralph Lauren, spoilt by the embroidered horsey.

Re: Levis jackets

I also have an interest in vintage western wear. I dont wear a lot of it, maybe the odd check shirt. But you're right '66, I believe any right thinking individual would draw the line at an embroidered horse... or any form of embroidery really!

Re: Levis jackets

I think the right denim shirt looks great with cords, knit tie, and a tweed jacket.  It really has to be the right sort of denim shirt, though.

Re: Levis jackets

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

Re: Levis jackets

... 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."


^ And that's a fact.

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