I have a feeling the leather version of the Levi’s trucker jacket is a little longer than the denim version. I tried on a size small denim version in the store and it fit like we would expect the trucker jacket should. The sleeves ended at my wrist and the length ended higher up my hips with more of my front pockets showing. At the back, it just covers my belt. The leather version seems about 1/2 to 1inch longer than the denim version. The sleeve and body length of my leather trucker are very similar to my 30s halfbelt and aero Seven and fit similar as well.
LOL. No. Length looks perfect to me. Just an expression for a perfect fit.
Just got a Levi’s denim trucker in a size small. It is about an inch shorter in body length and sleeve length compared to the leather one. FYI
I don’t think so but I’m not sure. It’s a wool blend made by Brixton. It’s not the handwoven Scottish stuff.
My order of this Levi’s buffalo trucker jacket just arrived, the exact same jacket as Radz’s (with the buffalo hide, not Levis other choice of lamb hide). Same size as his, too.
I looked closely at the hide to see what kind of characteristics it displays. Lots of varying grain and, if you look closely, you can see the hair follicles, indicating its full grain.
Also, as Radz mentioned, it is a lighter hide, but definitely thicker than I had imagined, and certainly thicker than “shirt material” that someone had suggested in one of the post (which is probably the case in Levi’s earlier models).
Although this buffalo trucker from Levi isn’t as heavy as my Aero or Schott jackets, it actually has surprising heft. You can feel the heft drape on you like a decent jacket, rather than cling like a polyester sock.
For the price, I am thoroughly and surprisingly satisfied with this jacket. A sleeper.
I’ll have some fit-pictures soon, but here is a close-up of the grain, and check out the follicles.
