      @ROman Any chance you would know something about this era of jackets? 🙂

        Heads up for everyone: This is one that doesn’t quite fit in the marketplace, but also is something interesting to all of us denim nerds.

        Normally wouldn’t allow this, but it is a great thread starter for those of us sitting on vintage pieces.

        I invite everyone to post some of their “treasures” and see how this thread takes off…

          @BalticBob said in Collector’s Corner (Vintage and Rare Treasures):

          it's from ca. 1967/68

          no expert here, but shouldn't it have a big E then?

            My Levi’s big E Type III 70505 0217 from factory 525. From 1969 I believe. Thrifted this thing!

              @endo yeah, red tag and big E for that era. Orange tag places this one in the 70s I think (source)

                The care labels on the jackets below the paper patches were introduced in in 1971 as part of US federal law. Orange tab was introduced in the 1960's and it's this care label that separates the 60's and 70's jackets based on what I can find. Happy to hear more information on these!

                  @BalticBob care labels entered the picture in 1968; take a look at the image of labels in this article: https://www.heddels.com/2016/10/how-to-date-and-value-vintage-levis-type-i-ii-and-iii-denim-jackets/

                    @mclaincausey @BalticBob had that link in his original post and when I moved it over accidentally broke the link. I’ll fix it.

                        It's a nice looking jacket. I don't have anything to add beyond what's already been written by Heddels guide. I had one a while back.

                          @Mizmazzle I actually have a bit of a dilemma on my hands.

                          I went back and ordered the broken twill version because I don't own any proper denim hats

                          2 days later I found one of my vintage white whales for a steal on ebay - a 70s levis ( full denim/no mesh) trucker with leather patch.....

                            @GraemeE damn dude!! That sounds cool as hell!! I’ve also been on the hunt for a solid denim hat. Like for quite some time. Then these SJ ones came on the radar so I was stoked. Hoping I can make em work for my picky sized head.

                            Look forward to seeing a pic of the Levi’s hat. Sounds like a real gem.

                                  This seems like the most appropriate thread to bump although this find isn't particularly rare or a collectors item per say (mods feel free to re-direct me if necessary)
                                  @Mizmazzle
                                  These are from the listing.
                                  It was up for 1/4 of the price I typically see them at so I had to snatch it up
