Levi's 70505, commonly known as 4TH (force) model BIGE

Levi's G Jean denim jacket how to distinguish
Levi's G Jean is mainly divided into the following four categories.
・ 506XX called 1st
・ 507XX called 2nd
・ 557XX called 3rd
・ 70505 called 4th (Force)

The 1st (506XX) has one pocket, the 2nd (507XX) has two pockets, and the 3rd (557XX) and 4th (70505) have two pockets + a V-shaped stitch line.

The new arrival at Earl Kamakura is the 4th model with the product number 70505.

The 4th model was born in 1967 from the 3rd model 557XX with a slight specification change, and was produced until 1973 when the red tab of BIG "E" was changed to SMALL "E".


Differences in detail and design between 557XX (3rd) and 70505 (4th)

After 557XX (3rd), a V-shaped stitch extending from the front pocket to the waist has been added, and it is called a tracker jacket, and a design that serves as a model for G Jean in modern times has been completed.
At first glance, the 557XX (3rd) and 70505 (4th) are similar, but there are some changes in the design and specifications, and the feeling of size will change.

・ V-shaped stitch became loose in 4th

V-stitch is a V-shaped stitch line that runs diagonally from the pocket to the waist.
The slope is different between 557XX (3rd) and 70505 (4th).
