It's repro for sure. It has the silver threaded tag. 90's maybe?

i'm pretty sure these are an "authentic" reproduction by levi's vintage clothing (lvc) ~2000. the original duck canvas from archives and those first duck canvas pants have an awful fit. looking at the silhouette in the picture, the rise is too short and waist/hips are too narrow... you should see what the originals look like... i worked there when the team met together to review how to approach the repro... a lot of effort and attention was paid to the construction, fabric, trim for authenticity but no the had to tweak the fit to make it sellable....
