Levi’s® Menlo Cossack Jacket

Sale price is $1,200.00

Levi's® Vintage Clothing is thrilled to re-release this updated version of the popular leather Menlo Cossack Jacket, famously worn by Einstein. The original reissue from Spring 2018 came in brown leather and was a reproduction of the one Albert Einstein famously wore. Acquired in 2016 at a Christie's auction, the Levi's® Menlo Cossack Jacket is synonymous with Einstein's early years in the United States during the 1930s, the time in which Einstein and his work achieved global notoriety.

Building on the success of the 2018 reproduction, it's reimagined as a jacket that Einstein would have worn while in disguise. Perhaps the professor had a roguish secret identity where he crusaded through the city at night fighting crime. For this, he would have wanted his favorite Levi's® leather jacket, but in black.

  • Every element of this new Einstein jacket is the same as the original, only with a unique tongue-in-cheek twist
  • It comes with a black label with red writing instead of yellow
  • A Christie's auction paddle replica numbered "97", complete with two eyeholes cut out of it (all part of Einstein's "disguise")
  • Also included is a fragrance developed by Brooklyn-based perfume house, D.S & Durga. It's a warm blend of burley pipe tobacco, papyrus manuscripts and vintage leather
  • Limited Edition of 500 pieces worldwide
