60's Blue Bell Wrangler

This is an older one with heavier denim and white-line selvage. Seems to date from mid-1960s, and has the old white label with "Blue Bell Wrangler" on it. The older jackets seem to fit a bit larger/longer and more care to detail and fit. I love the way this old denim has faded from raw indigo to white and mid blue:

OK, it's supposed to be a Repro. Type lll Levi's Jean Jacket. But Levi's never made them this heavy, or long, or expensive.

IH-526PJ 21 oz., size 46. I like it.

Lol now we just gotta be careful not to wear the same jacket on the same day.

Which won't be easy since I've worn mine every single day since I got it. . .
