WAR AND PIECES
There’s a unique new edition to the Levi’s archive care of Chuck’s Vintage in Los Angeles. This World War II era jacket was lined with a cotton flannel shirt, stitched in by hand. Made between 1942 and 1945 the jacket serves as an interesting testament to a time when food, supplies and clothing were sharply rationed. Most likely that blanket lined version just wasn’t around and this was the guys next best option for staying warm. Similarly during that time period the jeans were made with less rivets to save metal, the iconic arcuate stitching was painted on to save thread and jackets were made with out pockets to save denim.
