ISO: Levis LVC Menlo Medium Jacket

Colonel Duke

I'm putting together the 'Enjoying Death' outfit and am trying to locate a medium Levis LVC Menlo jacket. If someone has one hit me up and we'll see if we can work something out. Or send me in the right direction to find one.

Cheers!

Colonel Duke

Also, I'm 6'1" 175 with a 33in waist. I know there was some differences in the jackets based on season so it stands to reason I might be able to fit into a large depending on the measurements.

I have a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 15-year old bourbon for trade to get this one done. The Wall Street Journal calls it the bourbon so popular even billionaires can't find it. http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2013/07/08/meet-the-bourbon-so-popular-even-billionaires-cant-find-a-bottle/

If this is a motivator to find a screen accurate correct season Levis Menlo in size medium hit me up. I'm on the search. Cheers!

Hit me up?

A large will be far to big, I'm 6ft with a 34 waist and have the jacket in small and medium and can fit the small and have a 39 inch chest. But if wanted to wear anything under it I would need the medium.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. 007 and a half pm inbound.

This is still active if anyone is looking to trade. If there's any confusion 'hit me up' just means send a pm. Ask any questions you want.

Mr porter have them in black. It's says suede jacket but the details say its sheepskin.
May be the closest you can get at the moment. £312

Thanks, Tardis. -- I may end up going that route, but have been holding out hope for a brown.

On that end if anyone is in need of a Large I have been talking to a nice gentleman in California who has a beautifully distressed SA brown jacket. I can supply contact information. Sadly the jacket is too big for me.

I'm still searching for the jacket in a medium brown.

Be careful about the sizes. I'm 5' 5.5" and bought a Small size from Mr Porter this time last year and it was way too small for me. It looked like a cropped top that young girls wear.

I think that a lot of Small sizes were returned at the same time because I was told that there was a big waiting list for the Mediums because so many people were trying to exchange from Small to Medium.

I also bought a Billy Reid peacoat in Medium and if anything it's a bit too loose on me.

Colonel Duke

Good to know. I'll make sure and get detailed measurements. Thanks for the help!

This jacket is not a "long" jacket by any means. It's supposed to fit short and end right at the belt line. It's based on a 1930's leather jacket from Levi's archive; in the 1930's waist lines on pants were much higher.

I have a brown in Medium I bought from Mr. Porter last year - original tag attached. Just curious as to what someone might be offering?

A few people on here would like one but Colonel Duke started this thread so send him a PM and ask him what he is willing to pay.

Colonel Duke

Thanks guys, sorry I fell off here, but I thought I had one lined up through another member, but he's reconsidering at the moment.

SO, I'm still looking for a screen accurate size medium jacket from the 2012 batch. If someone is ready to part with one I'm ready to buy one and have cash. Cheers, N.

Colonel Duke

I would also be interested in buying a small from the 2012 release which was purchased from Peggs and son to orchestrate a trade for a medium

There is a medium on eBay uk at the moment.

Colonel Duke

I'm in the U.S. but will take a look. Thanks!

Greetings all - I'm just trying to gauge interest - I have a medium from Mr. Porter which was bought in December of 2013 if anyone is interested in making an offer. It has never been worn - only tried on - and still has the Levis tag attached. I bought the black one recently and just prefer that one. Drop me a PM if interested!
