ARCHIVE vs NEW The LV4 Jean Style Jacket

The LV4 Jean Style Jacket is the classic The London Leatherman jacket that’s transcended time. Shown in the first catalogues from the 70s in illustration form and in 1980 guitarist Marco Pirroni (of Adam & The Ants fame) wore it to perform with the post-punk band the Weekend Swingers. The London Leatherman archive holds custom versions of the LV4, some with posing pockets, some with leather lacing up the sides and crafted in a thick steer hide.

Today two versions of the LV4 are in production the Classic LV4 featured in stills from the short film Ajamu (2019) by Stephen Isaac Wilson and the Vintage Fit LV4 sported by art-pop duo Faux Real.
