Genuine vintage 70s Levi's orange tab jean, gorgeous in so many ways: -the patina, as seen on hips and thighs -the tightness of the denim weave. the quality of the stitching, very neat and tidy finishing. Can really see it in the anchoring of the belt loops and the pockets. -the super-flattering cut. High waist and strength of denim really hold you in and shape you! Closest comparison to Levi's current style catalog is the "ribcage straight ankle" style, but I have to say I think these are even more flattering. -really nice heavy zip fly These are 100% cotton, would estimate between 10-12 oz weight denim. Not super-heavy like some 90s era denim, just high quality. No material tag, but stretch denim didn't emerge until about 30 years later in the early 00s, so can safely state these are 100% cotton. Jeans of this era were manufactured in USA or Canada. Wear: (see photos) -can see slight lines of abrasion on back of both legs near ankle, and less so on front of left and right leg. Hems are in great shape. -a bit of abrasion on inner thigh -no stains, no holes, no odours. Zipper and button work perfectly. Measurements: (based on 25" waist, tagged as size 25 -- measure against your own pair with similar rise for best comparison) Waist: 12.5" Rise: 11.5" Inseam: 31" Leg opening: 10.25" Smoke-free, pet-free home. I worked in women's consignment retail for 15 years so send me questions and shop with confidence. To compare, Re/Done Levi's jeans are about $300 each!

superwasp @deannamccarthy Hello! I just grabbed the jeans and did a closer inspection. There's more wear on the right side than the left. They're getting pretty thin on the right side and would *likely* need patching in the near future. I'll try to attach more photos.

superwasp @deannamccarthy Also, whether or not they need to be patched in the future *might* depend on how close your thighs rub together? I think some women naturally experience more friction there just due to genetics and how their hip sockets/hips/thighs are shaped. My jeans get almost no wear on the inner thigh at all, even after wearing for years. Some women seem to get heavy wear on the inner thigh almost immediately. Will try to upload photos now!

deannamccarthy @superwasp thank you for the info. there used to be a wonderful seamstress in my town, but she's moved and I'm not sure how I could get them patched now.
