Vintage Levi's 517 Bootcut Jeans Black Tab | Dark Indigo | W34 Tagged (~32" ac)

The 517 is the original boot-cut — introduced in 1969 as "Saddleman" jeans built to fit over Western boots, worn throughout the 70s and 80s by everyone from ranchers to rockers. This pair carries the rarer black tab, associated with Levi's Sta-Prest wrinkle-resistant collection or specific limited runs — not your standard red or orange tab 517. Deep dark indigo wash, classic bootcut flare, heavy dense denim with that unmistakable broken-in softness, pressed front crease, copper rivets, and intact leather two-horse patch. Note: inseam appears to have been shortened — measurements below reflect actual.
