Levi's Trucker Jacket in Buffalo Leather

[Monitor]

Just got a Levi’s denim trucker in a size small. It is about an inch shorter in body length and sleeve length compared to the leather one. FYI

Really cool!

Funny thing that denim, though... I have an older, 70's Levi's trucker that I used to wear a lot in the past. Short one, without the hand-warmers. Anyway, it's not a particularly heavy jacket, especially compared to the 21oz denim that IH is using but for some reason, the Levi's (or Wrangler or any other trucker I have) gets 10x warmer during a hot day than the considerably heavier Iron Heart. No clue why but I find it interesting.
I'm tempted to get the 14oz one... Seems like a jacket that truly might prove to be wearable the whole summer.

I haven’t the time for fit-pics yet but here’s a quick one from today, as I dashed out of the office:

Saddleback Leather?

Yup. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but they’re bulletproof & I like them.

These photos aren’t as good quality as Radz, but here they are. Same size as Radz’s jacket (sm), and I’m 5’7” and 145lbs. Jacket and cuffs buttoned and unbuttoned.

I can't see any fault at all in these Levi leather truckers. They look great on both y'all. The fit is fantastic and the leather looks great as well. I suspect these are something of a hidden gem.

It isn’t FQHH or Vicenza or “competition” hide, but this buffalo full grain on a $300 Jacket is punching above its price point. Fantastic on a cooler summer night.

It isn’t FQHH or Vicenza or “competition” hide, nor does its traditional style require that it imitates their thickness, but this $300 buffalo grain jacket is punching above its price point. Fantastic on a cooler summer night.

How about the interior? What's the lining like? Does it have inside pockets?

Looks perfect @Powerband. whats the rest of the kit? jeans, boots? all three look really good together.

The inside lining is just a black satin (polyester) lining in both the body and arms ( no insulation as well). There is one leather trimmed horizontal pocket on the left hand side.

Man, that's absolutely, positively perfect. It's amazing how well these fit. Don't think it would've look any better if it was custom made.

Gonna risk crucifixion here but I honestly think it actually looks better than some Vicenza or Competition hide I've seen (and had). And as good as most.

To hopefully spread to the same sentiment to a few more folks, here are some pictures taken in the sun, and the last one in the shade:

The satin polyester lining is very silky but significant.

If they did this in brown I'd be all in...great jacket though, I just have enough black jackets atm

Wow @Powerband, that looks utterly brilliant! The grain and detail in that hide is lovely.

The temptation is strong with this one... I have enjoyed the few high end Levis jeans I have. I figure this would be really nice too, considering I have been thinking about getting a black jean material trucker for a while now at a similar price point. I am looking at you 3sixteen and Taylor Stitch...

Thanks for sharing all these good pictures!

I love it! I love very much the Levi's trucker. My next purchase will be one of this. I can't wait...
