Ehehe, no, because for that I have my fathers Levis jacket from the 70s. But, since now i am reading about the types, It's a type III.

I like this type I style.

When I was stationed in Germany they used to tell us not to wear Jean Jackets off base because it would make us stand out from the Germans. As if our army hair cuts didn't do just that.

Enter the 1930s - when Western movies and the West in
general captured the American imagination. Authentic cowboys wearing Levi’s® jeans
were elevated to mythic status, and Western clothing became synonymous with a life of
independence and rugged individualism. Denim was now associated less often with
laborers in general, and more as the fabric of the authentic American as symbolized by
John Wayne, Gary Cooper and others. LS&CO. advertising did its part to fuel this craze,
using the West’s historic preference for denim clothing to advertise Levi’s® waist
overalls. Easterners who wanted an authentic cowboy experience headed to the dude
ranches of California, Arizona, Nevada and other states, where they purchased their first
pair of Levi’s (the products were still only sold West of the Mississippi). They took these
garments home to wow their friends and help spread the Western influence to the rest of
the country, and even overseas.

Bend in the River: Winchester 76: <bottom line: while denim(Levi Strauss) goes back to 1848. the western flicks of the 50's used 'poetic license' to push the
denim-rugged look...and I otta know

C'mon now! I used it in Who What Wear thread where the question was "What famous island is in the right upper corner" (Mare Island) At some point in my long-haul trukkin' mid 70's, I owned a long-gone denim jacket that was referred to as a ''trucker jacket' ($69.99): I had gone sleeper-team driving and was, in fact, the 'boss' ie: lead driver. Claude Akins from the the short-lived '74-'76 trucking show: Movin' On was undoubtedly my sartorial inspiration

When I was a teen there was a revival of what we called a Harrington Jacket. Everybody had one - girls too. They were characterised by a tartan lining and were always zip-ups. Popular with "mods" in the summer when they weren't wearing "Parkas" on their scooters
