Vintage Levi's trucker denim jacket, 1980s, size medium
A 1980s Levi's trucker jacket in solid denim is a steady seller. Buyers look at the red tab, the cut and honest fading; thrashed examples still move, just for much less than clean ones.
Estimated resale range (used)
$40 – $90
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
- Check the red tab and the interior care label to pin down the decade, since labels changed several times in the 1970s and 80s
- Measure the chest, shoulder and sleeve length flat rather than trusting the size tag, because vintage sizing runs small
- Photograph any frayed cuffs, broken buttons, elbow rips or alterations so buyers know what they are getting
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.
