Levi's 517 Orange Tab Bootcut Jeans - 33x34

Deep saturated dark indigo, the color barely touched — a 517 that looks like it waited for you. The orange tab, the two-horse leather patch reading 517 W33 L34, copper rivets, the arcuate on both pockets. Bootcut and long in the leg, slim where it counts. One of the cleaner pairs to come through.

The Story

The Levi's 517 is the "Saddleman" bootcut, introduced in 1969 under the Orange Tab line and cut full from the knee to fall over Western boots — confirmed here by the leather patch reading 517. The orange tab and leather (not paper) patch generation place this in the domestic-era 1980s. A bootcut with rodeo heritage stitched into the name.
