These vintage Levi’s 517 jeans hail from the Orange Tab era, a line introduced in the late 1960s that emphasized youth, counterculture, and bold styling. Crafted in the USA from heavyweight 100% cotton denim, they feature the iconic orange tab on the back pocket and the distinctive bootcut silhouette that flares slightly at the ankle. The 34-inch waist and 28-inch inseam offer a comfortable mid-rise fit, while the durable fabric will soften with wear, developing a unique patina. These jeans include classic five-pocket styling, sturdy belt loops, copper rivets, and a zip fly with a brass Talon zipper. The deep indigo wash has gently faded over time, revealing natural whiskering and subtle wear patterns that add character without compromising integrity. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points ensure longevity, making these jeans perfect for everyday wear or as a statement piece in a vintage wardrobe. Pair them with boots or sneakers for an effortless ’70s-inspired look, and appreciate the authenticity of denim made in the USA. Whether you’re a collector of heritage Levi’s or simply love timeless denim, this Orange Tab 517 pair offers the history, craftsmanship, and style that has defined Levi’s for generations.
