Collector’s Corner (Vintage and Rare Treasures)
-
Heads up for everyone: This is one that doesn’t quite fit in the marketplace, but also is something interesting to all of us denim nerds.
Normally wouldn’t allow this, but it is a great thread starter for those of us sitting on vintage pieces.
I invite everyone to post some of their “treasures” and see how this thread takes off…

@BalticBob said in Collector’s Corner (Vintage and Rare Treasures):
it's from ca. 1967/68
no expert here, but shouldn't it have a big E then?

My Levi’s big E Type III 70505 0217 from factory 525. From 1969 I believe. Thrifted this thing!

The care labels on the jackets below the paper patches were introduced in in 1971 as part of US federal law. Orange tab was introduced in the 1960's and it's this care label that separates the 60's and 70's jackets based on what I can find. Happy to hear more information on these!

@BalticBob care labels entered the picture in 1968; take a look at the image of labels in this article: https://www.heddels.com/2016/10/how-to-date-and-value-vintage-levis-type-i-ii-and-iii-denim-jackets/

@mclaincausey @BalticBob had that link in his original post and when I moved it over accidentally broke the link. I’ll fix it.

It's a nice looking jacket. I don't have anything to add beyond what's already been written by Heddels guide. I had one a while back.
