Vintage levis orange tab skosh
The edit ·
A pre-owned piece in orange. Buy the piece, not the promise. Condition, provenance and a maker's mark are worth more than a brand name alone.
The jean that named a category.
Founded in San Francisco in 1853 by Levi Strauss, who patented riveted denim work trousers with Jacob Davis in 1873. The 501 is the original blue jean.
Vintage Levi's are collected by the fade, the era and the factory. Big E red tabs, selvedge and pre-1971 details are the grail markers, and Japanese collectors led the way.
What to look for
The red tab, big E versus small e, dates it, as does the selvedge edge and the care label. Fades made by a real body, not a factory, are worth the most.
How to wear it
Let the piece lead. Build the outfit or the room around it, not the other way round.
