1953 Levi’s 517xx Type 2 One Sided Tab - Size 44

The original 1953 Levi’s Blanket Lined Type 2 Jacket 517xx with one sided tab

While the Type II was officially introduced in 1953, the single-sided tab was phased out within months for the double-sided version. Finding a surviving 517XX from this precise window—especially in a size 44—is a rarity that rivals the production volume of many T-Backs.
