Field Notes

We have received a re-stock of one of our all time customer favourites here at Son of a Stag. Produced under Freewheelers’ sub-label, The Vanishing West, this beautiful interpretation of one of the most iconic pieces in denim history is something to behold. The 507xx is a 14oz denim jacket based very specifically on the 1951 Levi’s Type-II.

It has all the features that we know and love, and which allowed this jacket shape to cement itself into the pages of fashion history. Two patch chest pockets sit aside the pleated chest plate of this trucker, which features a selvedge fold on the inner. Reinforced buttons are set securely in place down the central button plate, as well as on the cuff and rear waist epaulettes. This classic example of a Type II is a boxy shape which sits a little off the shoulder, and is cut a little shorter than a Type-III. It sits comfortably on the waist for an iconic 'mid-century cool' silhouette.

How to Wash
Step 1

When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.

Step 2

Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted 'lightning fades', and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!

Step 3

Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
