Great job Den! You out did yourself, thanks for all the history. I love my type 1! Unfortunately, I got one with zinc buttons. However, the light weight 11oz. works well for so cal. Most the time I wear it like a over shirt
I just got and love my LEVIS Type 1 Jacket! 🤠
Came for a Fit video.
Left with a whole new concept of what a Denim jacket is and its history.
You got a new subscriber man!
Hey! I watch all your videos with pleasure, I really like it, 2 months ago I bought myself a Type 2, though not a real one))..and LVC, and the other day I also took myself a Type 1, ..90s, though there is no longer the same fabric, here it is thicker, and so excellent. Of course, the difference in the fabric and its color, compared to vintage ones ... I, as a small lover of this, can be seen immediately. Thanks to your videos, I made two purchases of these, although for many years before that I only collected Wrangler, Maverick .. vintage jackets and jeans.))
I love this story. I wear my type I a lot. My sack coat has pockets, very functional.
just bought myself the new collection type 1 jacket from levis premium with neppy denim and selvedge all over. Truly a great piece and very interesting denim. Worth a video :)
Levi's has a few taylor shops, so technically you could get some 55's and have them put in a Pendleton lining. It'll still be at least officially upgraded by Levi's.
Robert Mitchum wearing the Levis type I jacket picture 📸 is very iconic
I was wondering if viewers would recognize it.
Best denim in world
good knowledg
Awesome video! I believe James Dean also wore one in one of his early films named Harvest.
thanks for the tip. His jacket has 2 pleats, 1 pocket but a vertical white line. It's definitely a type 1 but maybe not Levi's. I'll add it into the compilation video. th-cam.com/video/mW04Tct60Rg/w-d-xo.html
the jacket James Dean wars at Harvest (1953) is not a Levis 506 xx but a Wrangler 24 MJ with a zip
congratulations for your video, you have done a great job and you have a new subscriber but I think you are wrong un one detail
this magnificent 506 xx type I jacket appeared un at least two films before 1942, 1936's The Petrified Forest (Humphrey Bogart) and 1940's The Grapes of Wrath (Henry Fonda)
Thank you. I’m doing a compilation jacket video and trying to include all the more film clips. Welcome to the channel.
Hey, great video! I'm in the UK and have had a couple of 70501 04 Type 1s from the 1990s. Would you consider this a proper Type 1? It's not a LVC, but stays pretty true to early Type 1s without a synch. I had to keep sizing down until I found the right fit.
Type 1-ish, type 1-esque. The definition is 1 pocket with the sleeves at the higher than the blouse. And maybe double pleats. Sounds like a cool item.
Awesome vid! On the raw shrink to fit LVC jackets such as the type 1,2, and 3 do you recommend sizing up since they are shrink to fit? Or true to size due to the oversized nature of at least the 1 and 2?
Shrink to fit will tighten the areas personal to your body. Try to get just slightly bigger. They are versatile. If you are tall, you don’t want it too short. Type 3 is only in preshrunk. Thanks for the awesome question.
Does the post war lvc blanket lined have the correct brass buckle on the back?
The historic ones have rust, not sure it brass rusts like that. Both cinches look like blackened metal with the not poke style. They have serrated teeth. I feel like the LVC one is flimsier than the original.
In LVC series, I have seen the triangle shape on cinch back with a line crossing, but another version does not have a line crossing. Which one is true to the original?
The triangle stitching on the yoke is a historic feature. I don’t see any historic examples of the stitching bisecting the triangle.
Are there differences in the cut between the 506XX 1936 and the 506XX 1947?? Is the 1947 longer in length??
LVC hasn't been making S506xx for 25 years, what do you think is the reason for this?
They always makes 44501 at the same time, is it because the position overlaps with 506xx?
I couldnt find the type 1 you have. I really like the lining it has.
Thanks. I really lucked out with that one. I wear it about 80 days a year.
@@denindenim do you know what model it is? So I can look for it
71506.00.04 is the product code but type 1 i 506 blanket lined would be a better search.
Hello from FRANCE, a question to ask, levi's has released a type 1 model 201 cone mills with buttons at the waist no rear strap, the fit is it the same as the original according to you? what do you think of quality is a good alternative to LVC? thank you for your feedback, super channel thank you in France we do not have this quality information so detailed, continue, sincere thanks, cordially Philippe.
Bonjour. I think LVC has the best quality of the Levi’s lines. Thanks for being part of the channel
I see a lot of leather jackets with the type one pattern, and I was wondering if there's a history of that. Maybe not by Levi's, but by leather makers pre 1953.
I’ve seen a lot of type 3 leather jackets. Not many with pleats.
I would like to ask you something:
I bought the Levis type 1 1936 in size 40 and i want to soak/wash it warm, because i always wash my denim with warm water. I am now a little bit scared, that the jacket could be a little bit short after washing. The jacket has a length of 61cm and will shrink to 56-57cm at the end. I am 1,76m, 70kg and my chest is 94cm. In the past i tried the size 38 and the jacket was good, but if i wash the size 40, the jacket will be shorter in length, than the rigid size 38. Is it better, to take a size 42 and wash the jacket warm?? I think the jacket will be a little baggy at the end but not too short. I don't know.
You can always have a denim jacket that is too big but you can’t wear something that pinched your ribs. I’m a 39 and I wear M. A tad loose but I wear sweaters under my jackets often. I would recommend a tub soak and wear until dry. But more so, wear from rigid.
I just sold my 1936 ORIGINAL type 1 blouse on ebay 4,310...
Wow. How long did you have it?
@@denindenim 2 weeks I found it in a garage attic in a box with 1940 lee Rider jeans I still have those
I can't stand the term "trucker jacket" or "trucker cap" for that matter. It's a denim jacket. If it had to named after a wearer, it would be called a cowboy jacket. Same with trucker caps. All they are is baseball caps with a couple of mesh panels. Truckers don't commonly wear either one, no more than anyone else.
