G-janes for men! From the history of Levi’s, to the characteristics of each type, to the hottest coordinates and items, all in one place!

G-jacket type (3) The most major design is here! The “3rd type” is called the perfection of the G-jacket.

Many brands are still releasing new items with this design. When talking about G-jans, many people probably think of the “3rd type. The action pleats on the front, which had been used for two generations (1st and 2nd), were omitted from the 3rd type. Both breast pockets are raised to a higher position than in previous models, and the V-shaped stitching from the pockets to the hem is also a distinctive feature. This simple and highly sophisticated design, which emphasizes high production efficiency, is said to be the perfection of the G-jacket. Incidentally, in English-speaking countries, only this 3rd type is sometimes referred to as a “trucker jacket.

G-Jan type (4): The “4th type,” which has been made more of a fashion item by extending the length of the jacket

At a quick glance, the “4th type” is not so different from the 3rd type, and is based on Levi’s “70505,” which was released in 1966. One of the design features is that the length is slightly longer than the 3rd type. The previous version was characterized by a box silhouette with a short length and wide body width, but by extending the length, it has become more fashionable.

G-jacket type (5) “Lee type” that has maintained its original design from its birth to the present

While the Levi’s G-jans introduced above have an overwhelming presence, Lee’s “101-J” has established its own unique position. The major difference from Levi’s is that the basic design has not changed from the time of its birth to the present. This model was launched in 1931, which means that it had existed for about 30 years before Levi’s 3rd type, which has a similar design, was launched. The design features include diagonally cut breast pockets, rounded flaps, and zigzag stitching on the front. If you want a G-jan with a design a little off the high street, why not pick one up?
