Genericguy- nice photos, I just found my jacket just like yours- same wash tag, but mine has a small e.
I started a new Levi jacket thread, when you find time, post your jacket in the new thread...Mine has a 532
Button number.

There are still some big e red tab stock left after 1971....used up to 1973/4 (the youngest pair of big E jeans I have seen was made in 1974)

Thanks, wasn't sure if here were at pitching changes or anything that could narrow it down.
Didn't the capital E stop in 1971 though or did some still use it After?

There's no way to date a very specific year for the production of this type 3 jacket, the production year label not yet introduced....will 1971-3 be  specific enough for you?

Forgot to add the button code, managed to get a decent shot and it is definitely 529. Can't see that listed anywhere though.

I've been referring to this:


Mine looks like the centre label, and it has the over-stitching on the top left. It could also maybe be bottom left, shame I can't see the details.
I have seen the same label with a small e tag before but the date would fit with big E too.

Navy thread under the breast pocket and single stitch at the hem.
I'll take some more pics today.

What color is the thread under the breast pocket? Yellow or navy? Also, the button might say ‘524’ which fits with the period of the other details  (‘68-‘73). But hi-res pictures really would help
