1961 Type Iii 557 Trucker Jacket
Crank it up. Levi’s® Vintage Clothing presents Fall/Winter 2020, a tribute to the ’80s Louisville underground music scene that ultimately paved the way for Seattle’s transformative grunge scene. Their uniform of choice was a pair of classic ’80s Levi’s® 501® Jeans mixed with strong graphic elements and DIY attitude. With this collection, we celebrate these artists and the legacy they left behind.
First, let's take you through this Trucker Jacket's bonafides: the 1961 557 Trucker Jacket is the first men’s pre-shrunk denim jacket, and the predecessor to the 1967 70505 Trucker jacket. It sits at the waist and features two chest pockets, big “E” Levi’s® Red Tab, dark copper shank buttons and side waist adjustors. Now let's state the obvious: this Halloween, occult, and horror junkie-approved style features a moon print and appliqué felt bats all over.
