A true relic of American workwear. This is an authentic Levi’s 70505-0213 (Type III) denim jacket from the late 1970s / early 1980s. This is the classic "Two-Pocket" silhouette preferred by vintage enthusiasts, produced before side pockets were added in 1984.
Distinguishing Vintage Features:
Origin: Made in the USA (confirmed by interior care tag).
Red Tab: Authentic "Small e" tab, now aged and frayed/cut from years of wear.
Buttons: Original Levi’s Strauss copper shanks. Note: Button backs are unstamped, which is common for specific factory runs of this era.
Denim: 0213 heavy-wash indigo with beautiful natural "honeycomb" fading.
Condition: Heavily "thrashed" vintage condition. Features natural distressing, yellowing at the collar with wear holes on the fold, and minor fraying at the cuffs. This jacket has a "lived-in" look that cannot be replicated by modern distressing.
Measurements (Laid Flat):
Pit to Pit: 19"
Length: 24"
Pit to Cuff: 18.5"
Sizing Note: Tagged 38. Fits like a modern Men's Small or Women's UK 10/12.
