1970s | Levi’s | Orange Tab | Flared Jeans | Talon Zipper - w36

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s Levi’s Orange Tab flared jeans featuring a period-correct Talon zip fly. Classic 5-pocket construction with Orange Tab branding and a strong 70s flare. Clean line through the thigh opening out decisively from the knee, giving that unmistakable bell-bottom silhouette. Proper vintage cut that sits well on the waist and balances the flare naturally.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Levi’s (Orange Tab)

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Even wear and gentle fading consistent with age and use, with no structural faults, repairs or weak points. Honest patina that suits the era and shape perfectly.

Provenance Note:
This is the real 1970s Levi’s flare formula: Orange Tab, Talon zipper, and a confident bell shape that modern reproductions rarely get right. Timeless rather than novelty, these work just as well styled clean as they do leaned fully into the period. A solid, wearable archive pair that earns its place in any serious 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.
