Levi’s might have been the only group in the U.S. to be disappointed with the demise of jorts. Ever since America fell out of love with knee length denim, summer just hasn’t been their season.
That’s not the case for fall. Here’s three inexpensive pieces by Levi’s worth considering…
(Moving from left to right up top.)
These are precisely the same fit as the slim (but not skinny) 514 jeans. If you’ve been known to do a squat or lunge without collapsing, these could get a little trim through your thighs. But unlike the jeans, the cords seem to stretch and move a little better. When I tried these on I literally went from my 514s that I wore into the store, to these. The cords were much more comfortable. The color called “Revolver” is a great medium gray, and the Levi’s tag on the back pocket is a stand out white. Nice detail.
The pics online don’t do it justice. One of the first things you’ll notice when you snap it closed, is that it’s more fitted than your standard cotton/canvas type of trucker jacket. It fits closer at the sides, but it’s not tight. There’s a hood zippered into the collar which helps it stand up, but it’s not obtrusive. The snaps are also a nice dull medium gray color. It’s got a bit of a textured look to it too. Not your standard cotton chino jacket.
Two reasons: #1: Because it’s finally cool enough that you’re reaching for jeans. And #2: Because they’re an American legend, on sale in a classic color, for under $30.

It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
Spring ready sneakers, grooming goods, watches, etc. Saddle up. Amazon's spring sale is on.
New sportcoats. Italian desert boots. J. Crew dips their promo-toes into spring.
From de-scaling irons to shining shoes to smelling coat pits. Let's clean up our act.
New Seikos are on sale, and J. Crew's Suit event is expiring soon.
The two Bs go head to head, collar to collar, and lapel to lapel.
