Levi's Type III denim jacket, men's medium, 1980s

A Levi's Type III trucker jacket, the pointed-flap-pocket style, in a men's medium from the 1980s. Buyers check the inner care tag to date it, the red tab, and how evenly the indigo has faded. Frayed cuffs and missing buttons are normal on a work jacket but do lower the price.

Estimated resale range (used)

$45 – $110

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Find the inner care label - its wording and country of manufacture are how buyers date a Levi's jacket.
  • Check the red tab on the left chest pocket and whether all buttons are present and stamped.
  • Note the fade pattern and any rips at the cuffs, elbows or armpits; repairs should be shown in photos.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
