Designed by Jack Lucier, it marked a significant change from the previous Type II: the boxy shape became narrower and more fitted, the characteristic front pleats disappeared, and two pointed chest pockets with the distinctive V-shaped seam lines gave the jacket its new silhouette. Side adjusters allow the waist to be adjusted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe jacket is made from pre-washed denim of 100% cotton. The special dyeing process provides the deep indigo tone, which changes over time with wear, becoming lighter at folds, edges, and stressed areas. Since the denim is already pre-washed, the jacket does not have the strong shrinkage effect of unwashed rigid denim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the first time, the construction foregoes the copper rivets typical of earlier Levi's jackets. Two chest pockets with pointed flaps, side adjusters, and the large \"E\" Red Tab characterize the minimalist design of the early Type III. The short, waist-length form and the more body-hugging silhouette made Lot 557 an important link between early Levi's denim jackets and the later Trucker Jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e74998-0003 1961 Type III Jacket Rigid (557)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese Selvedge Denim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePointed chest pockets (welt pockets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBar tacks at pocket corners and sleeve vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBig \"E\" Red Tab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eButton placket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegular Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eShrink-to-Fit - shrinks by approx. 5% on first wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Levi's Vintage Clothing","offers":[{"title":"L","offer_id":58494241931645,"sku":"246248","price":462.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":58494241964413,"sku":"246255","price":462.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1822\/1117\/files\/levis-vintage-clothing-1961-type-iii-557-denim-jacket-rigid_DSC2294.jpg?v=1786955570","url":"https:\/\/www.burgundschild.com\/en\/products\/1961-type-iii-jacket-rigid-557","provider":"Burg \u0026 Schild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
