70's Clothes

One of the classic pieces of clothing from decade to decade has been the jean jacket.  Vintage jean jackets hold a special appeal for some people and many have a preference of the styles from one particular decade or another.

On eBay, it seems that the older the jacket, the more valuable it is.  That isn't always the case with vintage clothing.  As I was checking recently, it seems that people are really liking the jean jackets from the 1950s.  Of course the older the item is, usually the harder it is to find.  70s jean jackets are also very popular.  Lee Riders jean jackets and the good old standard LEVI'S jean jacket are always popular it seems.  As the weather gets colder, you will probably start to see the number of bids increasing on those old LEVI'S lined jean jackets that look like someone turned a sheep inside out and lined it with jean material.  They sell even when it is still pretty warm out.

During the 1980s, the acid washed look started to show up.  That, along with an influx of jean jackets with band names on the back give that decade's clothing a bit of a different feel.  Yes, you can find the band names on jackets from other decades, I just mentioned them in relation to the eighties because I've been seeing a lot of them lately.  Surprisingly, for as well as Iron Maiden t shirts sell on eBay, a jean jacket with the band's name on the back recently went without a single bid.  I guess it all depends on what you are looking for and who else is looking at the same time as you.

If you are looking for 70s outfits and individual accessories for your wardrobe, another item that I saw pass by without any notice was an old vintage jean jacket covered in vintage patches.  That one kind of surprised me because there are people who collect old patches as a hobby.  It was a cheap chance to grab a ton of them.
