1980s | Levi's | High-Waist Tapered Jeans - Blue - w26

Description:

Item: High-waist tapered jeans in mid-blue denim. Five-pocket construction with orange contrast stitching, white tab label to the rear pocket, and a zip fly. Classic 1980s straight-to-tapered leg cut.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Levi's

Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: Levi's White Tab was the diffusion line produced alongside the mainline Red Tab during the 1980s, made to the same construction standards and in the same denim. Original White Tab examples in clean mid-blue with minimal fading are increasingly hard to find in this condition. A solid pair of 1980s Levi's denim with genuine provenance.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

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

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.

For UK orders, you have 14 days from delivery to exercise your right to return, and a further 14 days to send the item back. For Europe and International orders, returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery.
