Hello! I recently got a Levi’s sheep leather jacket. I believe it’s from the LVC line and likely inspired by Buco’s PJ-27 steerhide design. However, I’m having a really hard time figuring out the manufacturing date.

I don’t know much about vintage clothing but my research led me to this forum. Would really appreciate it if someone can shed light on how to read these productions codes or hopefully date the jacket. I would also love to hear any advice on caring for sheep leather. Thanks so much in advance.

I don't see the resemblance to a Buco. It's a women's jacket by the way.
I'm going off the photos from here and here

The sides are reversed but both have a single zipped pocket and an oversized breast pocket. Granted there's no badge holes on the Levi but given the pocket arrangement, pj-27 seems to be the inspiration.

I'm a woman so that's actually perfect for me. Unfortunately I haven't found any vintage womenswear forums so here I am...
