About the original
The Levi's Trucker Jacket, first introduced in 1962 as the Type III, is the modern template for the denim jacket: pointed yoke, two chest pockets with pointed flaps, side-entry hand pockets, and shank-button closure. Levi Strauss & Co. was founded in San Francisco in 1853 and has produced some form of denim outerwear since the 19th century. The Supreme collaboration uses a stone-washed cotton denim body with an orange quilted nylon reversible interior and Supreme's arc logo embroidered on the chest, released in blue, black, and pink for Fall/Winter 2018 at $268 retail.
