AMAZING and RARE late 1960s Levi's "big E" Trucker Jacket Type III. A collector's piece!
This was worn by a Native American activist throughout the 1970s, with patches and buttons for the cause.

This item is being sold as a cultural appreciation piece

It is awesome to find "big E" Levi's as it is, but when you find one customized with patches it is special...especially when there is a strong message like this one. This jacket could tell some stories!!
One of the buttons (and I'm thinking this was one of the last big journeys this jacket took) was from "The Long Walk for Survival" in 1980. The Long Walk for Survival was a cross-country demonstration by Native Americans that started in San Francisco and ended in Washington, D.C. with a series of demonstrations and prayer meetings over two weeks from Nov. 1-14, 1980 to draw attention to the issues of nuclear power and forced sterilization of Native women.
Size = Small
Length = 21"
Chest (laying flat) = 18"
Sleeve = 23.5"
Button manufacturing location stamp = 524

In well-worn condition (which actually looks cooler with these jackets). The back of the collar was mended from years of wear at the neck -- again, it just makes the jacket look better in my opinion.

This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Ohio.
