In Our Vintage Bundles This Week: Levi's Big E Jeans

It's a wonder why Levi's LVC reproductions don't quite match up to the real thing. It'd be in their interest to produce vintage quality jeans and save us the trouble of looking for the real thing. Of course, there's always something to be said about the historical value about the jeans that built America.


Interesting fact: Levi's famous riveted design was actually the invention of Jacob Davis. Levi Strauss was his supplier and later became his business partner due to the funds needed to grow his business and patent his riveted design.

Other great items that didn't make this week's short list:
-An 80s Mets Championship Tee
-A 60s Schott Motorcycle Jacket
-True Religion Jeans
-Deadstock Roebucks Jeans
-1940s Naval Pea Coat

As always, here's the label to help you identify one for yourself:

Great Finds on Etsy: 1970s Levi's Big E Corduroy Jacket- Only $16

Every week we comb the internet to find you the best deals in vintage clothing. The Etsy seller catsandcrickets has a gem for sale here at 1970s prices.
EDIT: The item has SOLD

The seller dates them to the 1970s and it has design features typical of jackets from this era (belt loops, two front pockets, exaggerated collar, etc). Many of you are likely wondering "didn't Levi's stop making 'Big E' clothing after 1971? Actually, while that is true of their red tab jeans, they continued to make some items with the Big E tag throughout the 70s. At this price it's a steal.
