A sturdy denim jacket is an essential part of a guy's wardrobe - my preference is to wear them with black jeans or duck canvas pants so it doesn't look too Canadian tuxedo-y, but you do you - and if you've started looking into nabbing yourself a denim jacket you've definitely come across the various types that you can buy. It begs the question: which type is best for you?
If you're really into vintage style then the boxy type 1 (the first to be created) might fit the bill, but if you're after a more modern fit then you might prefer one of the others. David at Son of a Stag helped me explore all the kinds of jackets and their history at Son of a Stag - after this video, you won't wonder anymore which is the perfect denim jacket for you.

Type II is classic.

@asegal4677 Год назад

They're all pretty iconic, appreciated and respected. Nothing to single out Type 2 as "classic" over the rest.

@jworksuk 2 года назад

The Type 1 jacket shown with no pocket flap is normally know as a World Word 2 variation. There is no pocket flap, 4 buttons instead of 5 and unbranded doughnut buttons. This was due to war time restrictions.

Great content as always. I'm on a journey which is nearing its end. I have a type 1 vintage Levis jacket which I got for £10.00 off ebay. Two type 3 Selvedges, one by Bravestar, which is awesome and brilliantly made, and Nudie in their Bobby Black Rainbow which is also awesome and beautifully built. I have one more to get. A type 2 with handwarmers (has to be functional) means I can stop obsessing. I'm thinking full battle striped Momotaro...or if I'm being subtle about it, PBJ because, it's PBJ.

@lookthroughmycamera 2 года назад

I have one type 2 and a few type 3’s. I love my type 2 but the only thing I wish it had was hand warmer pockets. I’m used to having them so I have the habit of feeling for them until I realize I have no pockets. On the bright side, it’s getting a cool patina from my hand rubbing and the fact that my arms lift it up a little when I have to put my hands in my pants pockets. It’s white cotton.

@michielstax 2 года назад

Actually, to my knowledge the info in the video is not correct. The first jacket that is shown is a WWII model type 1 jacket. The flap is missing because of the war effort to minimize fabric use. Also the WWII model has doughnut buttons with a wreath. The first type 1 jacket had a pocket flap. I cloud be wrong but this is what I’ve learned. Also, the stitching on the pleats in the front was meant to be undone by the owner if they needed more room. If you keep the pleats stitched you don’t really have more room because the stitches don’t allow the pleats to open.

Never knew there was types actually lol. It's not denim, but I have a Levi's Sherpa Corduroy Trucker jacket that's pretty sharp looking but man I just don't care for the short length. It's supposed to be short but I think it's a bit too much for me; think I'm gonna sell it. I see some of these denim jackets aren't all short too. Short jackets kinda bug me, just not used to them and I wanna keep pulling them down lol. That type 2 you're wearing is pretty nice.

It's funny, I had to choose between that Oni type 3, a Tanuki type 2 with hand warmers/inside pockets and a SDA type 2. Aesthetics won - I settled on the SDA because of its incredible 18 oz slubby/neppy denim ( GZ-011 Godzilla jacket ).

@westberlin4911 2 года назад

The original Type 1 had 8 oz thick denim, the Type 2 was definitely thicker ( 10 or 12 oz ) and the Type 3 ( I think but I’m not sure ) like the Type 2. The original Type 1 feels really different ( between shirt and Jacket ) to me ( but absolutely great ). I’m definitely not a denim expert, but I think the thickness and feels between Type 1 and Type 2 is important ( to me ), if we’re talking about the difference’s of these jacket’s. Thanks 🙏 for this video!!

@Stridewise 2 года назад

Thickness of the denim is an interesting component I hadn't thought to ask about! I'm sure it must have varied wildly, but maybe it didn't

@Topnotcher Год назад

Would say the early 506 was ,,Blouse,,type jackets ,in later years the denim was thicker...maybe i' m wong ...but you can find pics of Robert Mitchum in a 1940ies movie where he is wearing a 506 xx and it looks heavier.Early lvc 506xx from 1990ies has a fantastic 14oz denim but the later was this blousy type with the 9 or 10 oz denim , i own both ,both are nice.

@Boot_Ma9net 2 года назад

The stitching on the knife pleats would be removed if you gained weight and restitched if you lost weight. Or as someone has stated below... Just for sizing. They did do some different sizes but not like today

@Stridewise 2 года назад

Right!

@olgi2068 2 года назад

To the best of what I read about the squared stitching, it also allowed to widen the jacket for colder times. One would apparently cut off the stitches and would be able to layer more, and sew them back on in Spring. Not sure if that is a true thing though. Unfortunately, I do not remember where this info was from, sorry.

@drwisdom1 Год назад

If you are limiting yourself to authentic Levi's denim jackets, then Type 3 two-pocket jackets are the best. The western styling of the Type 3 is more attractive than the work wear styling of the Type 1 and 2 jackets. But the primary reason Type 3 two pocket jackets are better is they are plentiful while Type 1 and 2 jackets are all worn out and exorbitantly priced. If you are buying non-Levi's imitations, then Type 1 or 2 copies are better than Type 3 copies. The Type 3 jacket is very hard to duplicate without it looking off. When hand warmer lower pockets are added to Type 3 jackets (4 pocket), Levi's or non-Levi's, it is longer and it completely loses the attractive western styling.
