Description
This Levi’s Sherpa Trucker Jacket stands as a heritage-grade artifact from the final decades of full-scale American denim manufacturing. Produced in the United States during the late 1980s to early 1990s, this piece represents the mature evolution of the Type III trucker—engineered for cold climates, durability, and long-term use. The light blue wash exhibits authentic aging consistent with archival Levi’s outerwear, while the sherpa lining reflects Levi’s expansion from workwear into all-season functional garments. As Levi’s transitioned production overseas in the 1990s, Made in USA sherpa truckers became finite objects—now actively collected by denim historians, Japanese repro specialists, and American heritage archives. This jacket is not trend-driven; it is historically anchored. ⸻ DETAILS • Brand: Levi Strauss & Co. • Model: Sherpa Trucker Jacket (Type III lineage) • Era: Late 1980s – Early 1990s • Color: Light Blue Wash • Lining: Sherpa (period-correct insulation) • Closure: Button front • Pockets: Dual chest flap pockets + side hand-warmer pockets • Construction: Heavyweight denim, reinforced seams • Country of Manufacture: Made in USA ⸻ SIZE & MEASUREMENTS (measured flat) • Tagged Size: 38 R • Chest (pit to pit): 21 inches • Length (shoulder to hem): 25 inches ⸻ CONDITION Heritage archive condition.
