The classic [Levi's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-4) Trucker [Jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-ny-and-levis) is an iconic staple in any casual wardrobe as it has a tendency to be easily styled. Due to its minimalist appeal, the piece also lends itself to customization. A new version of the Levi's Trucker Jacket is hitting the market and this one pays homage to a popular, cult-favorite sci-fi series.

The outerwear piece celebrates the upcoming film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker by drawing inspiration from one of the most beloved characters in the franchise -- Chewbacca. The jacket is made to bear historic significance as it "references a still image of Chewbacca from the first movie [...], 1977's Star Wars: A New Hope."

The sci-fi-informed Levi's Trucker Jacket will hit stores on December 20th and it will be extremely limited-edition, with only 60 units made.
