Vintage Levi’s Sherpa Trucker Jacket – Made in USA Acid Wash Light Blue | Heritage Denim Archive ⸻ This Levi’s Sherpa Trucker Jacket represents a definitive late-1980s to early-1990s American denim artifact, produced during Levi Strauss & Co.’s final era of large-scale Made in USA outerwear manufacturing. The light blue acid wash, paired with a natural sherpa lining, reflects a period when Levi’s was responding to climate, youth culture, and functional workwear demands simultaneously. This piece stands as a transitional heritage object—bridging classic Western trucker construction with late-century wash experimentation. Increasingly scarce in original condition, USA-made sherpa truckers are now actively collected by denim archives and Japanese heritage specialists for study, display, and preservation. ⸻ HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE Levi’s sherpa truckers became essential winter outerwear in North America during the 1970s–1990s, worn by ranch workers, mechanics, musicians, and later adopted by punk, grunge, and underground scenes. By the late 80s, acid wash finishes marked Levi’s adaptation to youth-driven fashion while maintaining traditional construction. Japanese denim culture later canonized these USA-made sherpa truckers as reference pieces, influencing brands such as Real McCoy’s, Warehouse, Full Count, and Sugar Cane in their archival reproductions. ⸻ DETAILS • Brand: Levi’s San Francisco • Production: Made in USA • Era: Late 1980s – Early 1990s • Fabric: Heavyweight cotton denim shell • Lining: Full sherpa (body & collar) • Wash: Original light blue acid wash • Closure: Button front • Pockets: Dual chest + hand pockets • Construction: Classic Type III sherpa trucker silhouette ⸻ SIZE & MEASUREMENTS (measured flat) • Tag Size: Medium • Chest / Pit to pit: 24 inches • Length / Shoulder to hem: 26 inches ⸻ CONDITION Archive-grade vintage condition.
