    Custom canvas jacket options

    The jacket looks fantastic. Can you please give us an insight on how CHIPS jacket fits? Is the bottom hem more cinched up (smaller) compared to hwm? Would be great if you post the measurements when you have spare time.

    FS: 2001 Levi's LVC x Aero Thunderbird with print removed, size S

    me thinks you should keep it. wait 20 years and Levis will pay you a handsome amount so that they can reproduce based on your jacket. Its a long term investment.
