Product Description

Levi's 1970s Harley Patch 70505 Denim Vest Originating in the 1960s as the successor to the Type II, the Levi's 70505 Type III jacket became the blueprint for modern trucker jackets across American workwear and youth culture. This specific example from the 1970s was customized into a classic biker cut with cleanly removed sleeves and an authentic embroidered Harley-Davidson winged bar-and-shield back patch. Jackets of this era retain the classic two-pocket front configuration prior to the introduction of hand-warmer welt pockets in the 1980s. The piece captures vintage American motorcycle culture and counterculture customization of the mid-to-late twentieth century. While Type III jackets were widely produced, customized period-correct cuts with authentic vintage motorcycle patches remain popular finds among collectors. Measurements: Length 24.5 in, pit to pit 22 in.
