HERE WE HAVE A REAL TREAT FOR ALL YOU LEVIS FANS. FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS VERY RARE VINTAGE LEVIS TUXEDO JACKET. FROM THE 1950'S-1960'S I'M SURE YOUR AWARE THAT LEVIS MADE THE FIRST TUXEDO JACKET FOR BING CROSBY IN 1951, AS HE WAS REFUSED A ROOM IN A HOTEL, BECAUSE HE WAS DRESSED IN LEVIS DENIM JEANS AND JACKET, AND THEY THOUGHT HE DID NOT LOOK APPROPRIATE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT. LEVIS HEARD ABOUT THIS AND WITH THEIR TOP DESIGNERS MADE A TUXEDO JACKET FOR BING. THIS IS WHEN LEVIS STARTED TO BE FASHIONABLE, AND NOT JUST FOR COWBOYS, THEY REALLY STARTED BREAKING THREW OTHER MARKETS. THIS IS A SUPERB TUXEDO JACKET. DARK BLUE 2 BUTTON FASTENINGS 3 POCKETS ORANGE TAB SINGLE VENT ON THE BACK 3 NON FUNCTIONAL BUTTONS ON EACH CUFF STYLISH LAPELS. THE CONDITION IS SUPERB NO HOLES NO RIPS NO STAINS VERY SLIGHTLY FADED ON ARMS THERE IS A MINOR MARK ON THE INSIDE, THIS DOES NOT EFFECT THE APPEREANCE THERE IS NO RESERVE GRAB THIS WHILE YOU CAN, YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER ONE.
