Levi Strauss, Esq.

Esquire has always been one of my favorite magazines. I started reading it in college – too long ago to think about – and now subscribe on my iPad. Clearly, Esquire has evolved and stands the test of time.

Same could be said, I think, of Levi’s®. And I was happy to see two of the brand’s products on Esquire’s online Shopping Guide feature, The Best Jean Jackets for Spring.

First up is the Commuter Trucker, made from a stretch, heavyweight denim that’s both water-resistant and dirt repellant. Designed for the urban cyclist, it has an extended tail and sleeves, making it perfect for you to ride, live and work in the same jacket. You’ll find it online here.

Also on Esquire’s list is a special piece from Levi’s® Vintage Clothing. If you don’t know LVC, you should – particularly if you’re a denim aficionado. Drawing from our own archives, LVC works to faithfully capture the spirit and heritage of American work wear, reproducing the fits, fabrics and details of bygone eras. It’s not inexpensive, but it’s amazing stuff.

What Esquire liked in its “best jean jackets” list is LVC’s sky-blue bomber jacket, reminiscent of the baseball jacket, only in denim. This isn’t your traditional jean jacket, but that’s probably what Esquire found appealing.

If you’re thinking about sprucing up your spring wardrobe, you couldn’t go wrong with either one of these. And given the craftsmanship and quality you find with both Levi’s® and Levi’s® Vintage Clothing, whether you pony up for the $130 Commuter Trucker or the $330 LVC bomber, either will likely be a part of your wardrobe for years to come.

I remember Esquire back in the 1950s when it was big magazine. Men liked it and it had a following before Playboy. Although very young I liked looking at it along with The Saturday Evening Post and other magazines of the time.
