Help dating and pricing Levi jacket

I purchased this jacket today at a car boot. Then after buying it I noticed it was a Levis jacket with the famous 'Capital E'. So I'm aware jeans with the capital E are worth a fair bit but can anyone give me any pointers if this is something valuable? As far as I'm aware according to the internet its roughly 1950s-1960s.

I know that Levis changed their tags in 1971 so it was definitely made before then. There's no other tags inside which pointed towards it being made in 1950s according to a guide I saw online. I found the exact same jacket on ebay listed in 2013 but said it was 'boys' with a price tag of around $50. It has a '12' label inside mine which fits me and I'm a UK size 10-12 but I've been told that because of changes to sizing guides since then the size is accurate to be made an America.

The leather/suede is all definitely real. There are stains and rips but I'd get these fixed professionally.

On a side note I have no idea if the badges are worth anything?

One badge says "Harley Davidson Brighton Super Rally 1979".

Any help with this is highly appreciated

Edit: sorry, for some reason when I try to attach pictures it won't let me. I realise the rules state not to post external links but I can't post pictures any other way.
