Mini Story or Hook:

A fantastic and unusual piece of early 1990s Levi’s history.

Dating to 1991, this classic Levi Strauss denim trucker jacket is finished in a striking emerald/forest green rather than the traditional blue denim and features the less commonly encountered black Levi’s pocket tab.

Inside is one of the jacket’s best features – a large vintage Levi Strauss & Co. printed panel featuring the famous Two Horse trademark and “This is a Levi’s jacket” branding.

The jacket retains classic Levi’s trucker styling with twin buttoned chest pockets, vertical hand-warmer pockets, branded metal hardware and a cropped denim silhouette.

The original care label even describes the garment as “DESIGNED TO FADE”, and more than three decades later it has developed exactly the sort of subtle colour variation and character that makes vintage denim so appealing.

A highly wearable genuine vintage Levi’s piece with an unusual colour, great period branding and plenty of early-’90s character.

Condition:

Condition: Very Good Vintage Condition – see detailed notes below.

Presents extremely well for a jacket dating from 1991.

The green denim retains strong, vibrant colour with attractive natural fading and tonal variation consistent with age, wear and the original “designed to fade” finish.

Fabric appears strong and the jacket retains good structure.

Stitching, pocket openings, collar, cuffs and hem present well for age.

Original Levi Strauss & Co. branded metal hardware is present.

Original black Levi’s pocket tab remains present.

Large internal Levi Strauss & Co. Two Horse printed panel remains highly presentable with expected age-related fading.

Original size, care and manufacturing labels remain attached.

No major holes, tears or significant damage noted on inspection.

Please note this is a genuine vintage garment and minor signs of previous wear and age are part of its character.
