Can't see Kegsy bidding on it though!!!!!!!!!!! too many records to buy

What a waste of a good coat :lol:

I have an original leather 'jean jacket' style Levi jacket purchased in 1967 for the princely sum of 16 guineas!!!!

Only ever seen one other of these - wonder what price this would fetch

I've got a Wrangler jacket which I've had since 1982, it's covered in scooter rally and northern soul patches and is in a pretty rancid condition, it does have sentimental value but I'd let it go for say £1000 ish? Oh, part of the right hand shoulder is knackered from a crash on my 17th birthday so overall its vg- I'd say.

FREE POSTAGE!

:lol:

What a load of shite !! :thumbsup:

shoved mine in a skip years ago..

I have just asked him a question. What size is the jacket?

PMSL :)

Gaurantee somebody will be selling copies of the jacket at the next PRESTATYN.

vintage levi jackets can be worth a lot of money........generally the earlier the better the "e" in levi must be a capital E.........also this jacket is in very poor condition as some idiot has covered it in silly music badges..........value at auction......about 7/6d on a good day with stevie wonder bidding peggy

No,definitely not a bargain Our Nige,,

If the photo colours are true..

this is black denim which was not of the time...a soulie would not have worn black denim

I may be old but i ain't stoopid...DOH

ALSO

I am sorry Peggy, but I don't understand your 'silly music badges' comment..

I guess 'you had to be there'..

were you?

Many people were and will remember the time fondly in their dotage.

Vintage is only worth what someone will actually pay for it..like anything sweetie.

KTF, health, happiness and a Soulies love to you Peggy.

That extinguisher wants scrapping... well past it's sell by date in my professional opinion...

As for the jacket - i've got most of those patches and a few old Levi's - anyone want to make me an offer?

Looks like one of the guys that does our bins every tuesday, nice chap, but knows f@*k all about soul music.

:hatsoff2:laugh.gif:shades: Very good Dave

As a collectable type of Levi Jacket (type 557) this jacket is worth little money. As stated by 'Peggy Babcock' the more collectable 557X type jacket have a big E tag & were produced from 1962 to 1966 they then became 557 from 1967 to 1969. In 1969 these jackets became small e, but were still made (in the main) from Cone 505 denim. NB: The 501/505 Jeans however went small e tag in 1971.

All collectable Levis 557 jackets are badged 70505 0217 or sometimes 70506 0217 the patches difffer from large (almost square) in 1963 to later oblong ones 1967 onwards, also there are differences in the inner top pocket material and the 'flag stitching' inside the top pockets.

Anything else (like this jacket) is not @ present considered Vintage or collectable, so the badges are worth more than the jacket. The majority of these badges however are available on e-bay, but I would not reccomend replicating this jacket for profit, using a good sixties jacket as a base as it will devalue the jacket to collectors. Regarding Wrangler denim jackets if it does not have outside double stitching around the top of the arm or has a zig zag type denim (broken twill) and no 'Blue Bell' inside badge, it is not regarded as vintage or colllectable. I am a part time collector & dealer of Vintage denim, so I hope this helps if you want to determine the value of your jacket. PS: All Levis Leather Jackets with 'Shorthorn' badges are very collectable (Big E) the later 'Batwing' varient (Small e) less so.

Best Regards Ricardo. :hatsoff2:

Ayup Dave,

Silly me. I'm too Motown. I thought you all were talking about Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops at first! Although I do have a Denim/Leather pant outfit that's never been worn (size 12) bought in 1980! It still has the price tag on it. I haven't found a family member deserving of it yet.

You will be able to advertise it as Mint Minus, then again, if it's still in the original rapper and hasn't been opened, sell it as a Mint outfit....:rolleyes:

PS: Take the price tag off, you don't want anyone to know how much you paid (just in case you start it at a 4 figure sum)....:thumbsup:

Thanks Bridgey,

I better check to make sure it's still there. My relatives have sticky fingers (even though they cannot fit into it). They've been admiring it for years! Bridgey, what is your real name? My sister's name is Bridgette, emphasis on the 'ette' part.
