Orange Tab 517 Bootcut Jeans 1970s

The Levi's Orange Tab line — introduced in the early 1970s as a more affordable alternative to the Red Tab — produced some of the most interesting denim from the decade. The 517 bootcut, with its distinctive flare and the era's high rise, captures the 1970s silhouette perfectly. Orange Tab jeans are significantly undervalued compared to Red Tab equivalents from the same period. Available for $40–$120. The Y2K and 1970s revival driving flared denim's return to fashion will push these toward $200–$600.
