This vest is true to the original model jacket from 1967 and second only to the501® Jeans in the Levi's® portfolio of iconic garments. Worn by ranchers, rock stars, truck drivers and rebels, it's known today as the "Trucker Sherpa Vest." Created in 1967 as Levi's No. 70507 denim jacket, the Levi’s denim jacket has become almost as iconic as their blue jeans. Ubiquitous during the Summer of Love, with every decade that followed, celebrities and other style makers continued to embrace it, giving it its own kind of star power. The profile is very slimming with great lines that draw the eyes and accentuates a triangle shape on top which has enhanced its popularity. Side pockets were added in the 1980's around the same time the term "Trucker" was coined by collectors in the Japanese vintage market. Recognizing the fundamentals of a classic fit, the basic design of this vest has remained constant since its inception. This vest can be worn dressed up or dressed and the wearer can go just about anywhere in it.
