I guess, I already have a black leather, so i am looking for the Levi's in Brown for certain, just refuse to pay 600 for it, especially since the exact same one in a different colour is 300!
Bench and loom have informed me my jacket will ship shortly. Obviously those in the U S will recieve theirs first. Some may already have one. I would love to know if they are sized as per their size chart which matches the measurements of the large I had from the old batch..... Or are they smaller as with the new ones mr porter on sale currently?.... Anyone?
How do you know this is an older stock? Unionmadegoods has the black ones in as of a few weeks ago-this gives me the impression new black versions have been produced as well. Does anyone know any more?
Got my LVC from Peggs & Son, excellent customer service. Ordered a M and L, and returned the L (I'm normally a Large in all jackets inc. BR, although I'm an XL in The Lodge - go figure?!).
The LVC Large was way too big in the body and the arms sooooo long! The jacket length was about the same as the Med. I knew as soon as I put the Med on it was the best fit of the two.
My stats are: 6ft, 43" chest & 36" waist if it helps anyone!
Hopefully your post will help those who haven't purchased yet. Seems the Pegg & Sons run a bit bigger than the Mr. Porter ones. I got mine from Mr. Porter and the medium is snug on me. I'm 5-9, 165lbs with a 40" chest and 32" waist. I had to return a small.
So it sounds like if anyone buys from Pegg & Sons, buy a size smaller than normal, and your normal size if your buy from Mr. Porter.
For anyone who is interested, the eBay seller listed above actually has the brown jacket!! He shows the stock photo of the black one but I just received my medium and it is definitely the brown! What's more, it's older stock with the longer length. I think they have one or two left!!!! Weird how they got the color wrong-it's definitely darker from among the variety I've seen, but it is by no means the black one. It's VERY SA as a matter of fact.
Anyone get a shipping notice from Bench & Loom yet? I know they are supposed to be here by the 25th but I thought we would be contacted with payment/shipping details. Card was charged but no other contact yet...
I'm still waiting .... Been billed the balance though. Just dreading the customs bill! A real pain as both mr porter and pegg and son both got more stock here in the UK!
man, you just lucked out and got a deal. Only XLs are left by that guy. Man, I was considering getting one too!
Yup, pretty much dumb luck as I was happy to settle for the black at that price!
I might not keep mine in medium in black I ordered it but already have the brown, if not if that is the size you need will just be wanting to get my money back on it

i dont understand Jared. Did you order a black from the same seller but now that these might be the OG brown ones you are thinking of selling it? If so, I def would be interested at the price you paid.

No probs I'll let you know when it arrives, I thought it was going to be black and probably don't need another jacket. Lol
Ordered a black one expecting a black one and got a brown one don't know what I'm going to do yet. That's totally thrown me. If I sell first refusal is yours returningson

There are several versions of these jackets floating out there and I thought I would offer a breakdown of the different label placement that seems to occur along with the changes in sizing.

Ive only ever seen this on one jacket. Don’t know if this is a very early edition or some kind of one-off.
Original Issue from the correct season label placement with the “Made in Italy’ label as a completely separate label placed right below the Levis LVC label. Craig’s jacket in the film would have this label placement.
Notice how the stock photo shows the same tag placement
Next season edition with Made in Italy in different scripting directly attached to the Levis LVC label
totally understand that but because there is not other way to tell a difference between the seasons, thought Id post the tag placement. That way peeps can tell how old or new their respective jacket might be...

sorry Returningson, didn't see what you were doing, great idea. Will be a good help for identifying the different seasons models.

It's in BLACK! I fell for the same thing a few months ago, almost bought one then retracted my bid cause it seemed too good to be true!
Sold out if medium already. A black one would have done me.
Will i ever get one.

How can I maintain and protect this jacket?
I mean, with such a price
I want to wear it as long as I can.
But when it comes to summer, it's too hot to wear it......
Should I use the leather oil or something?
