I don’t think these ever caught on

It wasn't one of those but I wore a denim vest for steelhead fishing up north for years. It was distinctive and definitely one of the only ones on the river when I was out.

I once owned a J. W. Weir and Son's rod that came with a blue denim rod bag. I think it was built around 1978. Paired with the vest and a blue denim cap you would have been the best coordinated fly fisherman on the river. Far out!

Yeah, too bad the AMC Eagle 4WD didn't come in a Levi's edition, but I don't think they overlapped. A member at our fishing camp had one in the early 80's, not much of a car but what a concept!

Back in the ‘70s, I made a fishing vest out of brown denim that was more or less a copy of the original Orvis Tac-L-Pak. I made it on my then-mother-in-law’s sewing machine. It’s long gone now, but it served me well for many years.

I'd jump right in the Gremlin with her! I remember the Levi's Editions as I worked at an AMC dealer for my first summer job and my Dad and I hung out there to check out the cars. Dodge musclecars and AMC's. I learned to drive in Dad's Lime Green AMC Javelin!

[Bill Charles]

Hilarious!

My better half's first car was a Gremlin. She said it had 3 speeds including reverse.

Gosh a Javelin....I haven't even thought about one of those in years! I was a decade too late to have fun in the 70's, an eternal bummer for me....

The AMC Eagle was ahead of its time: the Seventies weren't ready for Suburus.

They had some pretty styling interiors, too:
