Late 1960s Levi's 70505 Big E denim jacket. Red tab Big E, Button back stamp "A" confirmed. This is a late-stage example of the 3rd type, the successor to the 557XX. --- 【Age/Background】 ・Around 1967-1969 ・MADE IN USA ・Big E era (before 1971) The vertical fading, wear, and color unevenness unique to the old-style power loom denim of the time are exceptionally beautiful. --- 【Details】 ・Red Tab: Big E ・Button Back Stamp: A ・Model: 70505 (3rd type) ・Original buttons --- 【Back Painting】 Hand-painted on the back: PEACE mark / flower motif / "PEACE" lettering. This was added later, but it perfectly aligns with the anti-war and hippie culture of the late 60s. It's not just a modification, but an art piece with the ideology and the spirit of the times. --- 【Condition (Important)】 ・Significant damage to the collar and cuffs ・Overall wear and fading from use ・No critical tears All of these are natural elements for a vintage piece over 60 years old and enhance the atmosphere. This is an item for those who are considering repair or who appreciate this "worn-in" feel. ※Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a like-new or pristine item, or if you do not understand the damage. --- 【Size】 Tag missing Labeled as 36 Feels like a Japanese M-L Actual Measurements Length: 56cm Shoulder width: 44cm Width: 43cm Sleeve length: 61cm --- 【A Word】 This is not a flawless collector's piece. This is a garment that has been **"worn, embraced an ideology, and survived through time."** As Big E 70505s themselves become scarce, the number of pieces with this much character is dwindling. I hope it can be passed on to someone who understands.
