About the original
The Supreme x Levi's Nylon Trucker Jacket is a nylon-shell rework of the Levi's Type III Trucker, the denim jacket silhouette Levi Strauss & Co. introduced in 1962 as lot 557 and renumbered 70505 in 1967. The Type III's pointed chest-pocket flaps, pointed yoke, and side-entry hand pockets all carry over; Supreme swapped the cone-mill denim for a lightweight woven nylon and added a red tab embroidered with the Supreme wordmark. Released Fall/Winter 2019 in black, yellow, and chocolate-chip camo at $198. Levi Strauss & Co. was founded in San Francisco in 1853 and has produced the Trucker jacket continuously in denim since the Type I debuted in 1905.
