Levi’s® is digging into its archives to bring back a highly sought-after collector’s item: the S506XX 1944 “Taisen” (wartime) model Type I jacket. Levi’s® Vintage Clothing is re-releasing the legendary Levi’s® Vintage Clothing S506XX 1944 Jacket, with a pre-sale starting on 24th July 2025, followed by a raffle on 25th July in Japan.

This isn’t just another denim jacket; it’s a piece of American history. During World War II, the U.S. government mandated that all clothing manufacturers simplify their designs to conserve raw materials for the war effort. Levi’s complied, resulting in a unique version of their iconic 506XX jacket. This wartime model features simplified details born from necessity, which have become the very reason it’s so coveted by collectors today. It’s rumored that this faithful reproduction will capture all the nuances of the original.
