1970s | Levi’s Black Tab | Tailored Trousers | Made In USA | Navy - w36

Description:

Item: Original 1970s Levi’s Black Tab tailored trousers in a deep navy tone, made in the USA. Clean straight-leg cut with classic side pockets and distinctive rear patch pocket detail, giving them a slightly more casual, workwear-adjacent take on 1970s tailoring. The silhouette is neat and wearable, with that sharp Levi’s line that sits somewhere between smart trousers and dressed denim-era styling.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Levi’s Black Tab

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains strong with excellent colour and structure throughout. Light, honest signs of wear only, consistent with age, but overall a very clean and highly wearable pair.

Provenance Note: Levi’s Black Tab pieces have a real following because they capture that point where American casualwear and sharper 1970s styling started to overlap. The made in USA label only adds to the appeal, and the rear pocket detail gives this pair a bit more identity than standard tailored trousers of the period. As with many garments of the era, the polyester used here was made as a durable, premium fabric designed to hold its shape, wear well and last, which is exactly why pairs like this still feel so strong now.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

For trousers, please compare the waist and leg measurements to a pair you already own, laid flat, rather than measuring your body directly.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
