Vintage Levi's Big E 1967 Type III Trucker Jacket Sz 40 Denim Jean 70505-0217 

Characteristics of the Big E Jacket:

The Levi’s 70505-0217 – popularly known as the Type III Trucker jacket – has a slimmed down and slightly longer silhouette compared to its predecessors, the Type I and the Type II, and was created in 1967.

The jacket has 2 side adjusters on the waistband instead of a cinch, a change that was implemented on the 507XX Type II jacket from the 50s. Also, the 70505 features the characteristic pointed pocket flaps and a double sided Big E red tab. This jacket has all of these features. Beware of perfect looking styles of this jacket. Many knock-offs were made in San Francisco of this exact style. If you want true vintage like this one, it will most likely show wear. 

Here are the imperfections with this particular jacket:

On the left sleeve (if wearing) there are a couple snags in the fabric, pictures 7 & 8. Although snagged, there are no holes or stains. The thick golden yellow stitching on both sleeve cuffs have frayed from wear over the years, but does not pose a problem other than appearance, picture # 12. The red tab with 'Levi's' is starting to fad and each letter was stitched on and the stitches have come loose from washing over the decades, picture # 6. The inside paper tab has faded to almost nothing over the years, but if you look real closely, you can still see the numbers 70505-0217 and the size 40.

Sleeve: (middle of collar to cuff) 33.5 inches

Sorry guys, I didn't have a male mannequin form so my lady one had to do the job! Now you know what your girl will look like if she borrows your jacket.
