1970s | Levi’s | Orange Tab | Bell bottom flares | Talon zipper - w28

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s Levi’s Orange Tab bell bottoms with a pronounced flare through the leg and classic mid-rise waist. Traditional 5-pocket construction with Orange Tab branding and a period-correct Talon zip fly. Proper 70s cut with a clean line from hip to knee before opening out into a strong bell shape, exactly how these were meant to sit and move.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Levi’s (Orange Tab)

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Even wear throughout with light fading and surface marks consistent with age and use. No structural issues, repairs or weaknesses. The kind of honest wear that suits these perfectly.

Provenance Note:
True 1970s Orange Tab flares with a Talon zipper are getting harder to find in wearable condition, especially with a flare this well balanced. This is the real silhouette that modern repros struggle to capture, effortless, confident, and unmistakably period. A cornerstone pair for anyone building a serious vintage denim rotation.

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.
