- Levis is a brand that is synonymous with denim and has been an important part of its history. While their jeans deserve their own video entirely, in this video we are focusing on their denim jackets. They later became known as "Trucker Jackets" but were known as simply a jacket or blouse in the early days. So please sit back and enjoy the history of Levi's trucker jackets!

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Elvis hated wearing denim because it reminded him of growing up poor. He would wear denim when a movie role required it.
How did it remind him of growing up poor?
It's crazy how expensive it's gotten.
@@stylewithaltitude cuz he lived in a different time where denim was mainly used for those who worked blue collar jobs. Denim was never made to be a fashion/style
@@thanGacao True brother good point!
Another informative and incredible video Carl! You're awesome!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for all the great recommendations for other jackets to look at! I've been finding it difficult to discover denim jackets I like and this video definitely helps.
Awesome! I'm glad!
Carl Murawski . It's unfortunate that the Naked and Famous jacket is sold out though. Regardless, keep up the awesome content!
Very cool. Lots of great recommendations! 👌🏻
I got my Levis Type 3 in 1985 and still have it in pristine condition. Great jacket!
I found this channel today, your work is really underrated currently but keep doing this, it's amazing and really professional!! Camera and lighting is perfect, very aestheticaly pleasing! Also I find your videos very useful and interesting!
Thank you so much!
Carl, this video even was better on the second viewing. Thanks for making it. So much good information in such a little amount of time. I'll be watching it again.
Thanks buddy!
Oh Carl you opened my eyes to the boots and clothing that I was always looking for but never knew them . Thanks very much. 👍
I love the type 2 too! I have the Japanese repro of it and fits just perfectly. The type 1 although classic looks very hard to match with everyday outfit unless you're dressing like someone in the 50s. The type 3 has a lot of other variations, but I like them with washed blue color to add that 80s-90s feel to it
Which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!
Carl Murawski
I like the Type 2
I think Conners Sewing Factory makes the best denim jackets right now.
I own the 13.5oz cone mills indigo with brown weft (really more of a tan/khaki) by Brave Star sized in large. I love it, but it is cut a little too slim. To the point where putting my arms straight forward (for driving, biking, etc.) is a heavily restricted movement. Which is a shame because if I lost 15 pounds it would probably fit perfectly but still with the restricted movement. I had a jacket years ago, don’t recall the brand, that had back pleats so that arm motion wasn’t restricted like this. I recently ordered the 22oz brave star, this time in an XL, and I’m hoping for the best...
Now, all that said, that jacket with the waxed denim and flannel lining has got to be the most practical choice. Wish I saw it earlier.
I’m gonna have to go with one that you did not mention, which surprised me knowing your love for Filson. It’s the Levi’s x Filson Trucker Collaboration. This is one of Filson’s most beloved garment items and resells used for around $400 - $1,000.
How about the one that you're wearing with the sleeves cut off I like that 1
I just bought the Levi's Pride trucker's jacket. Admititly, I only bought it for the novelty. But after wearing it I fell in love. Loved your videos on Patina so when I saw you had a video on the jacket, I was like "oh yeah, this guy!" Haha. Thanks for the video! I'm excited to start my journey with my jacket 🤙🏼
best vid on jean jackets ive seen.
Levi’s Light Stonewash Type 3 trucker jacket. My fav! 🤘🏽
I just bought one for 29 dollars and I’m stocked
I bought a Levi Trucker vest on Ebay and love it. I'm in the process of collection band patches so i can metal it up. Awesome picture of Cliff and speaking of him he is getting a memorial style spot on the inside of my vest. I have a shirt that ill cut up and on sew on the interior.
Only a few people caught that Cliff Burton shot! He was an absolute maniac, and nobody can touch that style. Sounds like your vest will be sporting some awesome stuff!
Nice bro!
Yes Thanks for pointing out the Cliff Burton pictures,he wore his jacket all the time, we sure miss him🤘.
I Love my Brave Star type 3 18oz, just grabbed their new black 15oz as well.
You have grown since the last time I watched one of yours... congrats on the 20k
Haha, yeah! It happened so fast, thank you!
Never ever knew they were called “ Trucker jackets” thanks for enlightening me. I love these jackets, mainly the 3rd gen.
That’s a favorite of many. The name “Trucker jacket” wasn’t adopted until later, but it’s pretty common now.
Of course there we far fewer trucks in the early 1900s!
I
Type 2 for sure! Great informative video!
Type 1, but I would take it to my local tailor.
Great video Carl! Love these brief history clips.
A tailored type 1 would look amazing!
Really good review brother!
Bravestar denim is absolutely fantastic in every aspect, I have several pairs of their jeans, all cone denim, cant say enough good things about them, USA made down to rivets, buttons and leather patch, before cone mills closed you could get a pair shipped for $70-80 which is an absolute steal, I don’t have one if their jackets yet but I do have a waxed trucker from iron and resin which is also USA made and very high quality
My Levi’s Vintage Clothing Type 1 is my favorite denim jacket of all time. I own a few cool pieces but that one of the crown jewel of my collection.
I just picked up a Levis flannel lined/quilted sleeves type 3 off eBay recently...$43. The only small sign of wear is at the top bend of the collar. Other than that, it's perfectly worn in and looks great. Excellent denim jacket for what I spent.
Haven’t thought about a Jean jacket in a long time! Now I want one! Thanks! Mike W.
Hahaha, that’s what I’m here for!
I own 3 Levi's jackets 1 blue 2 black !
Its easy to get hooked on them!
Found your channel by accident. How glad I am :)
That makes two of us my friend!!!
The Amoskeag Mills were in Manchester, New Hampshire, about 20 minutes from where I grew up!
I found some bulk selvedge denim with the green-line indicating it came from the northeast. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of so much of it :(
Your point is quite interesting and I have to agree with you, that a Type II is very nice. Personally I own Levi's own current Type III and both Sherpa and am right now wearing the heck out of them. The non-pocket you showed immediately made me thing "That would be amazing for the really heavy denim numbers." Thank you for this video
Nice timing cause I’m starting to look at these. For me, type 2
Perfect! Good luck on your hunt!
I have the flint and tinder trucker, and really like it. Good take on the type1.
4:11. Cliff Burton!!! You are officially my hero. 😊👍🏻😝🤘🎸
Haha! Only a few people caught that! He’s a legend.
Carl Murawski dude you just won a subscriber with this 😂
I picked up an Iron Heart type III in their blue Double Duck. Absolutely love it. At 16.5oz, it's weighty without being too crazy.... but still super durable. Great for early fall/ late spring or layered under a peacoat during the winter. Still really want a Sugarcane Type II though. Both looks have their place.
Definitely, it’s hard not to love either brand!
Great history lesson
Great info❤️
I grew up in the 80’s, type 3!!!
Haha, classic look! The type 3 ruled the 80s!
Same here and that is for me, why my brain says "This is what a denim jacket has to look like"
Yep, same here, still own the jacket. BUT, i cannot see going back to it. Jeans yes, jacket thumbs down.
Thanks for your explanation.
All 3 jacket types look great but my favorite is definitely the type 3
Love the type 1. i´ve got two of them, (Levi's) quite the same one has 5 buttons (big E-Selvedge) and the other 6 buttons with i bit longer slim fit. Awesome both of them.
Type 2 guy right here. I actually own the Taylor Stitch Long Haul and its amazing quality. Almost done wearing it in and its the most comfortable jacket I own
Oh awesome! It looks amazing
Cliff friggin burton!!! Best vid ever!!
He was such a legend! Nobody plays bass like that dude
The Lee Rider jacket has nailed the denim jacket it is perfection in every way I have Levis and I prefer the lee because the chest pockets ,collar, sleeve openings,and the fit is perfect for me and beleive me I searched for the perfect denim jacket for a year and finely found the Lee Rider jacket.
🤔...I honestly like all three types...💯✔ I'll definitely be picking me up one of the Levi's jackets in the future...👌🏼
Educative video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
We used to wear Wrangler jackets. You made no mention. Great looking and bulletproof as any ever made. I wonder if they’re still around.
Carl, I didn’t know that you were a historian along with your other fine attributes. Good work as usual!
Agreed man very well written!
Really great video! I don't see this type of material on youtube often (shame). For people who actually love fashion through materials and history, these types of videos are always helpful! Please make some content on vachetta tan/patina leather(maybe how to treat and some examples of different care: mink oil, bee wax, coconut oil ect). And different types of denim and their patina over time? :) THANKS!!
Thank you so much! A video like this is in the works, but I didn’t realize how big of a project it is! Rest assured I’ll have it out soon though. Thanks for the kind words!
I love Levi's 😍😍😍😍😍
my favorite is type 2as well. There is so interesting Interpretations of it now days and it is kind of rare to see in Europe this days
Bravestar is great stuff. Fantastic video!!!
They’re incredible, i don’t know how they pull it off at the price they charge!
That type 2 is pretty sick not gonna lie. Thats the one for me
Right?? That's a badass jacket.
I have a Sherpa lined one from Carhartt, I like it better than anything I’ve seen so far.
I love your channel and I watch and rewatch your videos often
But I keep getting unsubscribed ?
Keep up the great work
Oh no! I don't know what that's about man!
Good video man I have a brave star that I wear frequently. Hey what’s the best your wearing?
Type ll has my vote. I’m looking at Gaps version. I have a type lll from them and the fit is great. The price is right and I’m thinking of grabbing one to try it.
Can’t beat that!
I have the Taylor Stitch in '68 cone mills. It's super nice.
Nice! Great score
In my opinion " eat dust " do the best interpretation of the trucker jacket , have the best pocket stitching Iv seen !
i had a Levi Denim jacket with a corduroy collar and wool blanket lining. I was a logger and wore it all winter. I tried find another one last year and they quite making them.
That Flannel-lined waxed jacket at 1:50 looks really cool.
Great video
I just love denim
I had one when I was a poor kid and now that I’m older I really miss having a denim jacket and I’m looking into buying one
I'm a big trucker jacket fan and I really enjoyed your trucker jacket video, I have a Levi type 2 trucker jacket a couple of Wrangler trucker jackets one of the Wrangler ones is the winter style with the Sherpa lining which is nice and warm. I've found a Levi type 4 trucker jacket with two inside pockets along with the hand warmer and two front flap pockets and thats the one I'd like to get for Christmas 🎄 😀.
I'm fortunate to own an original Type I 506XX pre war issue, Type II 507XX and first release 1962/63 Type III 557XX. Not LVC. Love them all.
Type 3 is the coolest! I have 6 of them in different colors and weights from Levis, Gap, Old Navy, and Forever 21.
Damn! Sounds like you found your look!!
Levi ........forever !!!!
Carl you should do a video on Freenote Cloth sherpa lined denim jacket theyre offering right now. Love your reviews.
I worked for Cone mills White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina. All those jobs were closed and moved to other countries. Thousands of American blue collar jobs gone. Most of us here wear Wrangler jackets due to a more roomy fit and they have the thick material lined or unlined.
Great vid! Type 2 all the way. Elvis wore one what more do you need?
Im totally type 1 with flap fan. Hope to find one in heavy denim one day
Cliff Fucking Burton wore a type 3?! Good enough for me
Wrangler or Lee rider!! Great denim jackets, why no mention of these?
All great brands that deserve their own video!
Wow u owned him lol
@@johneccar4926 Owned him/her etc. One of the stupid phrases of this century.
God blimey u sound like an old man mate! Did your denim jacket come through late in a white wash pufter edition or something? Lighten up lad!!! How do u even ascertain a denotation for something so trivial as 'stupid' in a modern world that's gone mad!! There's plenty of other words that have purjorated or colloquial neogolisms my friend!!!
Wrangler fit great :)
Lee's jeans, sorry, the crotch is not cut right imao. Great if you've got balls the size of an elephant. Wake up Lee people, thats my $0.02.
The og type 3 trucker jacket with out the hand warmers is my favorite.
James who needs to know same here. I have one from the 70s and it’s quite nice.
@@McOuroborosBurger ye I've got a original big E version there not really that expensive
James who needs to know I got mine cheap and it’s in a nice broken in condition. It’s not really worn, but it’s not pristine.
Type 3 here and I have that Iron Heart 526 and also have one in corduroy
2 all the way!
Same here!
Great video... Another brand making some fantastic jackets from Japanese or Italian raw denim is RM Williams.
Yes! Great company!
3sixteens Type 3 jacket; both black and shadow selvedge are great
Excellent choice!
I liked that last one you showed. I bought a wrangler last year on a whim because it was cheap but I ended up not liking the color. I like the dark blue ones the best, I just hate to spend hundreds of dollars on one personally. Someday maybe.
I hear that man, it’s a lot for denim but if done right you’ll have it for a long time.
Carl Murawski Yea for sure, it should last for the rest of my life probably. I don’t mind spending money on good things, I just unfortunately don’t have unlimited money right now so I buy the best I can for the things I use the most and the rest trickles down to the infrequently used items. At some point I’ll make the investment in a nice one
I own a pretty original and cool jacket from Denim Demon, Jeansa Japan. It's woven and made completely in Japan although it's a Swedish company. Anyway it's a beautiful denim jacket.
Hi Carl......PLEASE create a new updated jean jacket video.....favs on the market, etc. Kato (which I know you like) has several "Blade" versions. Thanks again for a terrific video/info!
My favorite new channel I’m addicted to? This one. Came here to learn how to clean boots. Now I’m still learning but other things in other areas. This channel is special. Thank you and please keep creating content.
Type 3. My first one was in the 70's. My second one I still have, pretty worn from the 80's. Bought another one a few years ago. It's funny, the hand warmer pockets still seem out of place to me. I'm an old fart, time flies!
hey, can you make a video on the various type and brands of worker/chore jacket? ie michigan carhartt chore jacket etc.
Great idea!
Carl you should do a video on Denim Shirts.
I didn’t think I’d like this video but it was really interesting
I have a True religion rigid jacket similar to the type one. The one pocket on the front the stitching near the snaps and the buckle o n the back
Carl, do you have a recommendation for a tall slender build with long arms? I’m 6’2” 165 and the Taylor Stitch long haul was perfect across the chest but short in the sleeves for me. I think that would be a common problem based upon my build but wondered if you knew of a particular brand that had notably longer sleeves in proportion to the body measurements? Thanks!
im gonna have to agree because the type 2 looks cleaner and slicker
Yeah man, I think it’s a great combination of function and style.
I purchased a Brave Star 15 oz. Great jacket
Incredible stuff, especially for that price!
What do you want, a pat on the head :\
I just got a the Midnight Slub Type 3 from Okayama x Japan Blue.
NICE!!! I'd love to see it!
Ive been curious about huckberry jackets like the one you mentioned. Maybe one day you'll compair their waxed trucker jacket to the barbour, filson, carhartt that you had
Oh don’t tempt me with a good time! Great idea!!!
BRAVE*STAR The Ironside Jacket 13oz Broken Arrow Japan Selvage Denim / Fits perfect and is comfortable
Thanks for your POWER Videos!!!
At 2:10, can you show us a picture of James Dean wearing that Type II trucker jacket? I have never seen Jimmy in denim shirt or jacket.
What about the waxed trucker bro? I'm scouting one on e-bay...
Also, I have an old waxed jacket - like a Barbour. But the make is "Squire". I'm in the UK, do you have any history on the make of this jacket? It could be 20+ years old. I couldn't find any info about it...
Love the type 2! But I must say they tend to size a little big in my opinion
All time favorite Levi’s jacket the orange label Levi’s Sherpa lined heavy weight 22 ounce trucker jacket with the stand up Sherpa collar.. I wore it til I couldn’t wear it no more after years of abuse and at some point became so tight on me..Sadly i had to let her go..that’s one you missed out on..the orange label years were the toughest and best for Levi’s in my opinion I had that jacket at least 25 years..hunting fishing changing tires..snow..still can’t find another..
Wow, what a great story about an even greater jacket! You’re right, I had to cherry pick my facts to make this video as concise as possible, it’s always a compromise. Thanks for sharing!
I prefer the subtle "Rail car Fine Goods" jacket.
Those are excellent, Railcar make some really great pieces.
Why did he not cover the newer ones from the last 10 years? Those are the only ones that I'm interested in, lol.
Can you do a review of the made and crafted line?
Interesting
Type 3 for me!!
Excellent choice!
Iron Heart makes the best truckers nowadays
The Sherpa jacket is my fav
A classic!
Carl Murawski agreed ! And they last a lifetime
They really do, vintage ones go for big $$
