Unless you purchased the Levis Vintage Collection, the newer Big E is just that. Nothing significant but the Levi’s Premium collection. I hate Levi’s started using the Big E again for their regular clothing line. I am not sure the first question you asked. I really do not know what the differences are. Could be the later numbers could be the code where the jacket was manufactured maybe!

Thank you!

@kailazz on insagram. Send me a message. I hope I’ll be able to answer your question!

Thank you for the kind words. Levi's vintage jackets will never go out of style.

Vintage Levi's jackets are the best jackets you can find and the style lasts forever.

Yes it is a real beauty with personal character. I believe mine was raw unwashed when I first purchased.

Levi’s puts the R on roughly 1 in 10 items. The R is still trademarked by Levis and they use it. This is according to levis’s official post in one of their instagram post! Hope this helps. Not sure when they started doing this bit i have seen jeans from the 80’s with R on it!

@@kailazz oh thanks for the info 😊

It is done simply to maintain the red tab itself as a Levi's registered trade mark. It prevents other brands from using their logo on a red background,

The Japanese versons of these jackets are most likely for the 90’s.

They are still good items to have because they are early re-issues and you can buy them (pre-owned) for reasonable price on eBay and other sites

Thank you kindly sir. Enjoy your video reviews. Keep up the good work.

It’s one of a kind. Does it have the care lable intact? I have acquired 4 of these and only 2 have complete care labels . They are made of cardstock so it breaks easily.

The label is partly intact 557 is visible

I try to wear the blanket lined whenever I get the opportunity in this sunny California weather.

Bram Schillings just wanted to pair classic jackets with classic Black Sabbath!

Like it should be;))

Ozzy Osbourne Rules......

That is a good find. I hope you were able to buy them at a reasonable price!

Jacket price was good, import tax from US to UK raised the price. I've also just purchased an original Type II from USA, expensive but worth it. Just need an original Type 1 now to complete my collection but that may take a long time

Brian Boyd just curious as to how much you ended up paying for the type 2. I now have 3 type 2 jackets in nice condition and the max i paid was $600 few months ago.

i paid $600 for the type II, it's a nice example (a bit of wear as expected for the age) from an estate in California but had to pay $200 customs duty in UK. Think it's an early 50s release as it's prior to the versions with numbers stamped on rear of buttons.

Brian Boyd two of mine has nothing stamped on it but one of them have 17 stamped! I recently saw one sell on eBay for $1800. Super expensive but it had the leather jerky label intact and was nice deep indigo color!

George Makuca those were more likely the Levi’s Vintage Clothing collection Type II jackets. Did they look something like this? www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/men/outerwear/1953-type-ii-trucker-jacket/p/705070058

Kailash Malla No! They all had side pockets serial number and date on a tag and it says: MADE IN CHINA

Calum1293 can you send me the link to the item? Have to see the pic and other description. I was not aware levi’s were made in Italy back then but i could be wrong!

Kailash Malla I'll send you the link once I win the auction 😂

calumuir94 that is understandable. It could also be a newer Levis Vintage Clothing collection! But do give me more details after the budding is over.

Kailash Malla rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282925977971 There you go bro! I went over budget a little but managed to win

calumuir94 i think this is from then 90’s and not 70’s. The care label inside has 03 93 which i believe is march 1993. In the 70’s and 80’s the care label would have been different. This one i am pretty certain is from the 90’s. Still a nice jacket though and fair price you paid.

abur i love them all but i don’t think i can choose a favorite one.

Connor Ambler not sure if this is a vintage Big E but i think thing this is newer ones. Your best bet could be ebay. Most of this kind come with white sherpa lining. This is the one that most resembles the one in the pic rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F312086167136

David Snow the newer ones have new care label. Early Big E LVC reissues had “555” buttons stamped on them and were made in San Francisco. Then they had “R” buttons stamped. Newer ones most recent ones are Made in Turkey and have Levis Vintage Clothing Tag. The vintage big E have letter “D” or “0” “17” or three letter numbers starting with a 5. The care label on true vintage jackets may or may not be on the collar. These are some of the identifiers. I may still have missed a few. But mostly it is the buttons!

1986teambeast i don’t believe hat Big E jackets with care label are fake. I have seen a lot of big E type 3 with care label and without care label as well. Most of the type 3 big e have the buttons stamped with three numbers starting with #5 but you do have other with just one letter or two letters as well. What numbers are marked on your jacket buttons?

I agree with you and my jacket has the number 526 stamped in the back of the buttons. It's just all the pages that come up state that no real Big E jackets have a care tag which I disagree with.

@@1986teambeast When denim became so popular in the late 60's and 70's. Levi's were opening factories all over the world. When tags and labels ran out, rather than stop production, they simply used what they had in stock. Their are countless examples of batches of oddities being made this way. I doubt that the factories even bothered to tell their head office.
