THE ORIGINAL CANADIAN TUXEDO:BING CROSBY'S LEVI'S JACKET











Last March, i was invited to a party held at the great "union made" store here in SF ,for what was back then,the unveiling of LVC's spring/summer 2013 collection .for the occasion i decided to wear ,what's in opinion,the ultimate Levi's denim jacket :Bing Crosby's Canadian tuxedo .... the jacket's history can be found on the net with a quick google , so i won't bother reposting it,instead i'd rather share some pictures of it .I can't help thinking that wearing Bing's jacket that day [ packed with LVC people] has something to do with Levi's decision to reissue it this summer as a limited edition.....i won't blame them,as it 's such a cool jacket .just remember you've seen it first on "riveted"

  1. Fantastic! I'd love to see some pictures of the inside of the jacket. Tell me, is this the original one that Bing wore?
