I’m assuming you mean the jackets because both shirts are just tucked in. A good bet is actual vintage from the time, but that’ll be hard to get.

shirts I can tuck in

In the pictures you have attached, I'd say it's less likely that the tops are cropped, and that the pants are high rise

its both
"miguel"
"miguel"OP2mo ago
no, the jackets are at waist level, this is common in the 60s-70s

So are you asking about the jackets or the shirts?

Its both, just buy a denim jacket

When it comes to denim vintage Lee rider jackets are probably the shortest in the game. Barbour makes a cropped waxed cotton jacket. For leather I’d actually go vintage, those are pretty available.

Ok, do you currently have any jackets that are cropped to a length that you like?

all denim jackets used to be like this because you're supposed to use it when riding a horse. Levi's, Lee, wranglers etc. They started doing then longer in the 80s. Now it's impossible to find cheap vintage

Thanks, I know how denim jackets work. I’m just saying that Lee Riders are known to be the shortest of the bunch.

not really, preferable length is ~60cm

tbh i find american denim jackets are like the one constant i can find in a vintage/thrift shop everywhere in the world
Soup

ok cool, if you have a length you want my best advice is to look at the size charts for any jacket you look at and see what length is listed for each one also what is your budget? how much are you willing to spend?

Fwiw I bought a vintage Lee storm rider this week and I had like 10 in my size (xl) too chose from in Vinted that were all very reasonably priced
"miguel"

yes but they're from the 80s, 90s. actual 50s 60s 70s are harder which have the cropped look

i mean the easiest way is probably to go to your nearest thrift or vintage shop and start putting jackets on if you want the vintage look

the jacket is vintage from the 60s wrangler

miguel how much do you want to spend on this jacket? if you want help give us a budget or just go buy a wrangler I dunno what else to say here

Dude if you’re looking for vintage 60s it’ll just cost some money because that shit is literally older than you

for a vintage jacket less than 100€

then you're going to have to search vinted, ebay, depop and in actual vintage stores wherever you live we can't find a jacket for you that's vintage

I know, but people here are saying they're easy to find

people can recommend new jackets that aren't vintage if you have a different budget for a new jacket

same budget or higher?

That’s because they are! You can get a decent 60s storm rider for a hundred if you’re lucky, you just have to know how to properly date them and hope the other guy doesn’t.

i mean hell if you're not worried about provenance you can just go to the nearest vintage shop

riders are easy because old cropped ones had no pockets I'll keep an eye on vinted other idea was a women's jacket xxxl

dunno how spanish prices are looking but i can get a vintage 60s-70s jacket for 30-70 USD depending on brand name, material, and condition
Soup
Soup2mo ago
still at 100 euro max or higher budget for new? and are you looking for the exact jacket in the picture of brad pitt? does it need to be this one? or you looking for any modern cropped denim jacket with two chest pockets?
"miguel"
"miguel"OP2mo ago
from the big three (Levi's, Lee, wrangler)? I guess it's much easier in the US
Holfram
Holfram2mo ago
You also have to watch the lining (horizontal/vertical) if you’re looking storm rider

US / JP / UK I'd say were all under 100USD equivalent for all of those brands

doesn't even have to be denim haha, just one with that kind of cut

this entire problem is solved if you measure a top that fits the way that you like and use it as a baseline to decide what to buy while shopping online. Or go in person and try it on. We aren't going to hunt down all cropped jackets for you.

The “big brands” meaning what? Because the big players the denim scene are very different from the mall denim brands You might have luck researching some milsurp, any of the jackets primarily worn sitting down will be cropped Depending on the jacket it’s also not terribly hard to crop it yourself or have a tailor do it Depends on the pocket situation mostly

Just look up your size on eBay. they’re $40-60 max.

All of these are very different from their heyday, look for specialized modern denim brands that reproduce stuff if you want new, or just keep checking eBay like puma said

And that also works for Europe btw you just have to add like 40 for shipping and tax
