Men's 1960 style denim Trucker's jacket

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

We called them "jumpers"

Levis was the best brand

Two front breast pockets

Two lower front pockets

Two inside chest pockets

         ALL pockets large enough TO BE VALUABLE

Button-closed front opening, adjustment straps, and outside pockets

They came in several colors of blue, some in black, and "white Levis" that were really a very light tan or beige

 

Levis doesn't make them like that any more

Lees aren't worth taking home

Wrangler is close, but I can't find them locally

On-line ads don't have any details on any of them

Carhart's look funny, they and Ariates have their loco all over all of their products, and I've had quality-control issues with Wranglers

There are dozens of foreign no-name brands and I don't trust them

 

A lot are available already "worn out, torn, stained, and aged"

 

Allegedly Boot Barn, Walmart, J. C. Penney and some others carry them, but I can't find them in stock and refuse to buy any clothes that I can't try on

 

Suggestions?

I faced the same problem some 10 years ago. My old jacket just completely worn out. Well, I'll just get a new one from any of the many farm and home supply stores.  What? None to be found anywhere.  Strolling through Wally-World, there were some in women's fashion!  Had lace and embroidery on them. But nothing like what I was looking for that had been common.   

 

My daughter-in-law found out that I was looking for one and ordered one off Amazon or some place. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for and a little big but I figured it would shrink some. It was stiff as a dried cowhide.  Well, I wore it and washed it many times and it didn't shrink and never got soft.  It must have been treated with epoxy or something.  It's stuffed in a closet some where.

 

I had the same problem with bandanas.  I looked through men's clothing at Wally-World and found none.  Asked the lady stocking in that area and she looked where I had looked.  "I'll go ask." She said.  Another lady got involved.   We made a trip around the store and found none.  She made a call. Oh. They're with the ladie's handbags. Off we go. Women use them as accessories and patches.

You can find the original 60's ones on ebay if you want to pay the price.   I have seen those things bring stupid money.
