Levi's Vintage Clothing recently relaunched the Menlo Cossack Jacket, a sheep leather jacket that perfectly mimics the original one made famous by Albert Einstein in the 30s. The reimaged Menlo Cossack Jacket boasts all the elements of the original jacket with a unique, tongue-in-cheek twist -- the coat comes with a black label with red writing instead of yellow.
This highly limited edition jacket is available in a hand-numbered, 500-piece run. It is currently on the market for the price of $1,200 USD on the label's website. Consumers will also receive an Einstein-inspired fragrance made by D.S & Durga that boasts a warm blend of papyrus manuscripts, vintage leather, and burley pipe tobacco.
