#5 ~ Original 1960s Haight Ashbury Hippie Levis Denim Jacket
I loved this one so much that I framed it and it hangs on the wall behind me as I type. Bad part about the framing is - I had to choose, and chose to frame it with the back facing out, losing the front. The hippie's name was Beanie Green. I was able to get this information from Chris down in Tennessee about the jacket:

It's a privacy issue, but the gentleman I was working with recently passed away from cancer. He lived in San Francisco during the
heyday of it all, and customized this jacket with various fabrics from the garment district.
He was a very interesting, intellectual fellow, and had a very artistic outlook on life. It wasn't just a day to him, but a poetic moment.
His nickname back in the day was Beanie Green.
