1970s Orange Tab R No Coin Pocket Levi's Jeans with Care Label Made in Canada

These jeans were my personal jeans when I was a teenager -- they are more than well loved. They appear to be 646 Flared Version. All patches, holes, hems are all original to the provenance. The waist size is 26-28 and the inseam is 34" (I had to add a hem as you'll see). It needs a new zipper if you plan of wearing them rather than collecting them. From: https://www.northworkshop.co.uk/blogs/features/the-complete-guide-to-vintage-levis-tabs The orange tab is the experimental arm of Levi’s design team, differentiating from the popular Levi’s fits such as the 501. In the 1960’s Levi’s introduced the orange tab as their ‘fashion denim’, spanning their entire range from Jackets to caps, flares and bootcuts, orange tab became a staple of the youth, blurring the lines between classic denim silhouettes, and moving away from the comfort zone of fits that Levi’s were known for. Orange tab are our favourite type of Levi’s, they’re slightly harder to come by, due to their age, but they often fill the void for that ‘perfect pair of denim jeans’ that everyone is always looking for! Top tip: To distinguish between 60’s and 70’s orange tab, and subsequently high value in the former, keep an eye out for care labels, as these weren’t legally enforced in the USA until 1971.
