3 Tips to Style a Denim Jacket #mensfashion #denimjacket

Yeah, type three (with pockets) all the way for me.

Go get yourself a type 3, Nick.

all of them

Type 3's are for dull lads. You can always spot a dresser with a type 1 or 2.

Freewheelers and the Vanishing West are the same company are they not?

The Type 1 jacket shown with no pocket flap is normally know as a World Word 2 variation. There is no pocket flap, 4 buttons instead of 5 and unbranded doughnut buttons. This was due to war time restrictions.

Whatever type you want you don’t have to pay $500 plus for one, sheesh.

Hi Nick. Should you approach wearing a denim jacket the same as a blazer or vest and leave the bottom button unbuttoned ? I noticed you had the bottom button undone on the jacket you were wearing.

It's funny, I had to choose between that Oni type 3, a Tanuki type 2 with hand warmers/inside pockets and a SDA type 2. Aesthetics won - I settled on the SDA because of its incredible 18 oz slubby/neppy denim ( GZ-011 Godzilla jacket ).

One day they'll announce the long awaited Type 4 trucker jacket, and it'll be revolutionary.

great! any ideas of brands with no leather patch? There's Nudie jeans; any others?

when ever i see a type ii with handwarmer pockets i cringe visibly, punch my table, punch my wall and have an agressive urge to grab the jacket and burn it

No clue how this was recommended, but a friends dad has a type 1 from his grandfather. One pocket no cinch back. No button cuff sleeve.

I love the type 2, I got an Evisu and a Sugarcane WITH handwarmer pockets

Man I love this learned a lot of history on heritage jean jackets!! Love it!! Thanks!!!

I'm definitely a Type I guy. I just did a whole series on these.

Do you know of any retailers with good quality black denim jackets that are sherpa lined? I was looking into Woodies but I think with navy pants or dark denim, a dark denim jacket might look tacky

This guy has not a clue what he’s selling

How much the type 1 today?

The original Type 1 had 8 oz thick denim, the Type 2 was definitely thicker ( 10 or 12 oz ) and the Type 3 ( I think but I’m not sure ) like the Type 2. The original Type 1 feels really different ( between shirt and Jacket ) to me ( but absolutely great ). I’m definitely not a denim expert, but I think the thickness and feels between Type 1 and Type 2 is important ( to me ), if we’re talking about the difference’s of these jacket’s.
Thanks 🙏 for this video!!

I’m sorry!
The Type 3 has 14 oz! I’m not an expert 😊!!!

Levis the best

I’m a wider guy at 5’10” 260. I’m thinking a type 2 would fit my body type best. I really like the look of your Tanuki. How do you find their sizing?

Good video my favorites are type 2 and second the type 1 , very classics and machos...thanks .

If you are limiting yourself to authentic Levi's denim jackets, then Type 3 two-pocket jackets are the best. The western styling of the Type 3 is more attractive than the work wear styling of the Type 1 and 2 jackets. But the primary reason Type 3 two pocket jackets are better is they are plentiful while Type 1 and 2 jackets are all worn out and exorbitantly priced.

If you are buying non-Levi's imitations, then Type 1 or 2 copies are better than Type 3 copies. The Type 3 jacket is very hard to duplicate without it looking off. When hand warmer lower pockets are added to Type 3 jackets (4 pocket), Levi's or non-Levi's, it is longer and it completely loses the attractive western styling.

I bought vintage singer and union special sewing machines to make jeans so this was very interesting video thank you !

What do you think of the Levi’s made and crafted trucker jackets made from Selvedge denim?

What brand of trucker jacket did you wear in the video? Can you send me a link?

Type 1 for me🥰

Awesome video !! Thanks for taking the time so do this 🤙

Great explanation!

Hi- the information the “ expert” gave regarding the Type1 is incorrect - it’s a reissue of a WW2
Version and a not a 1936 506 XX
The pocket minus the pocket flap and laurel leaf donut buttons are characteristics of the wartime version of this blouse

Type III, all the way.

Type 3 is the best looking, hands down.
Positioning of chest pockets decide everything. When they are placed too low, it just doesn't look cool.

Hi Stridewise ! Musik dosn't belong to videos, where people are talking. Only the talk is important, otherwise the recipient has always to swich between musik and the talk. Your brain follows only one thing. Please overthink this!

Great video, fascinating ❤

I'm a big guy and a type 3 XL is my go to denim jacket. The others are for thinner frames (imo)

Hey, the four pleats on the front are made to be cut, if needed. so a bigger person could adjust their jacket that way.

Great video, thanks. Maybe a historian, who's focus lies on textiles, would have been better informed than a salesman (Those jackets are a bargain at twice the price!). I hear London has some pretty good museums with well-informed staff, as well. All told, a decent primer.

You know you've lost touch with common sense when you are describing the type III as being a "simpler" and "cleaner" fit than the type II. I prefer it, but having really prominent v stitching is hardly the simpler design.

I like the TYPE III knockoffs for Gen X

I had type 2. cheap, lokal brand from bandung, indonesia. It's 16oz raw denim. I love it, classic. I was combinated with flanel, raw denim jeans and boots, I feel great

I have an "Iron Heart" brand type 2 jacket with a type 1 back. I thought that was cool so I bought one. I got 2 dozen denim jackets each costing $500ea, my wife will divorce me, and I need a shrink to stop me from buying more.

AND YOU CAN CUT THE PLEATS ON TYPE ONE TO WIDEN FIT WHEN YA GET FATTER

Type 1 TOP looks and comfort,with no pocket flap.

You guys do not have even basic knovledge if you do not know why type 1 and 2 have what sewing in front line

Type 111 for me.... Most stylish and iconic.......

Those knife pleats were designed that way to compensate on producing too many sizes, which would have increased production cost, something that would have defeated the purpose of producing the jacket in the first place. For a given size jacket to fit a larger man but with the same hight as another, all you needed to do was cut open the pleats with a knife.
