Sophies choice here
how can I pick just one
I have been thinking about getting some sort of trucker jacket. Tried thrifting but feel like I have to go to a physical thrift/consignment store. There is just soo much of the stuff that its impossible to find out how things fit.
repping Acne Studios here
the mega oversized fit feels real nice for the summer
:snailcat:
Does the orslow coverall count? I think I’ve aged / decayed out of truckers.
Love a type 2 myself, fullcount does my favorite because of the 13.7oz weight.
I would probably agree with goofus though, type 2 is my favourite pattern
I also prefer the older style that is shorter in length, had a modern type 3 and just couldn't get myself to like the length of it
Yeah, I think what I find attractive about the type 3 is the cropped silhuette
I don't want it to cover my butt
Love my Lee 101
Gonna keep an eye out for a storm rider for the winter too lmao
Lee 101 is the premium line from lee?
I've seen very old Levi's type 1s and 2s on insta that are cool
they have recently released a premium line called 101
I just got a vintage one secondhand
if my instagram ads are antything to go by
the 101 is a specific pattern of Lee jacket
Was $30 but I put $5 into having the tailor fix the pocket buttonholes
Ahh
okay
probably one of the most copied models in the repro world
I'd prob look for miUSA when buying a vintage one as a marker of age
Another jacket I've seen on eBay that's cool: a Margaret Howell x Edwin denim jacket

Lee Storm Rider Denim Jackets - The Complete Vintage Guide
We've dug deep and delivered the essential guide for all things vintage for Lee's iconic Storm Rider Denim Jacket, the 101J.
although doesn't cover everything as there are 101 type twos without the corduroy collar and lining, like Benji has
thank you!
Railcar fine goods japanese nep denim chore has been my recent favorite
I really love the quality of the denim coming out of Railcar Fine Goods and the fits are 10/10
I’ve followed rail car on insta for years that man works harder than anyone on earth.
i was just thinking about this, my old TCB type 2 used to be my favorite but the arm holes are so slim it seems comical now. Might be time for a move
Its really crazy. He works at the shop like 6 days a week. He makes clothes, he does the tailoring, he works front of house for the shop. Hes all over the place
I get exhausted just watching his stories
I live really close to his shop so I go there sometimes. I ought to pick up some more jackets
Also hes super kind and humble and his story is pretty cool. He was an LA metro rail worker who was enamored with traditional railroad workwear and decided to start a small local business making it
Super hard to do in LA, especially when coming from limited means
I love Lee's 101J/Storm Rider silhouette. Grail at this point is probably Kapital's version in No 3
Wild he actually has some rail background. I assumed railcar was just a generic olden timey sounding brand.
cool fabric
I've a thrifted type 2 uniqlo denim jacket that is just inexplicably perfect (except for the terrible hardware)
