I am bit concern about jacket size, so when a good friend of mine found a jacket that fit me well I was overjoyed. My joy was overkilled the following day when he informed that the seller knew me. I knew immediately that the jacket would not come cheap. I was right and bought it for RM500, and it worth all the ringgits. The market value for this jacket is around USD 350.
This is the Levis third edition of Big-E jacket Lot 557xx also known as the trucker jacket. This jacket is debuted in 1962 with capital E for LEVIS printed on its trademark red tab. The label is made from paper material instead of leather. It was slimmer and came pre-shrunk compare to its previous predecessor epitomizing the era of Woodstock and Easy Rider. However it retains the double tones thread with the bigger yellow thread sewn on the thicker part of the jacket.
