This is a classic in every respect—not just because it is a timeless design that has been around for over 60 years, but also because this is the premium take on it. This is the Levi’s Vintage Clothing version. You can moan about the price, but the quality and detail of this version are second to none.

As the name suggests, this is a 1961 design that’s faithful to the jacket that first appeared over six decades ago. So, a non-stretch denim jacket with a ‘Two Horse’ leather patch, distinctive double pleats on the front, adjustable waist tabs, and the signature Big ‘E’ Red Tab. Two chest pockets and a lovely colour to the denim, too.

£385 isn’t cheap, but this is a great jacket and one that will age so well over the years.
