    Great jacket. Question about the tag

    3 years ago
    I ordered this jacket but it's not the one I received. The pockets are shorter and the tag says "507XX". I'm very happy with the jacket but can someone explain the difference? What does the "XX" mean?

    Originale et bien faite

    3 years ago
    Belle veste, originale et réalisée avec un excellent denim selvedge. La taille est assez ample mais c'est utile pour absorber l'inévitable rétrécissement en cas de lavage (pas encore tenté en revanche). Le prix est élevé mais justifié par le "made in Japan".

    My Own “ Badlands” jacket!

    3 years ago
    I bought a month ago and happy I did. Wanted this for such a long time. My grandfather was buried in a pair of 501’s (all he ever wore) and all the pall bearers wore them in tribute. Such a great grandfather and he was a honest hard working man that represented a different time I look back on with admiration. This jacket also became a legend in the cult classic “ Badlands” and is my favorite out of the 3 types of classic Denim Jackets. Flawless denim and construction, I’ll wear it with pride

    Beautiful jacket

    3 years ago
    Beautiful Levi's jacket made of the highest quality Japanese selvedge denim. Stitching and hardware is second to none. I'm 188cm and 100kg, fit athletic build with long arms and legs. Size XL fits me perfectly. I didn't know my wardrobe was missing this essential piece until it arrived.
