need some help from levi's experts!

[benzak]

I found some old looking piece of womens jeans in a thrift shop. They still had a paper tag attached, saying they were Levi's Sailor Pants. They also had a white tab with blue letters and a capital E. I can't seem to find anything about them on the net, so I guess I'd try my luck here. Can somebody tell me how old, rare etc. they are? Thanks!

Others might know more than me, without photos I can only say these are pre 1971. The shape of the jeans will tell you more. If they have a side zip they'll be 30s; if a very high, tapered waist they'll be 50s. My guess would be they're 60s, when Levi's diversified heavily.

I was about to start a topic asking a similar question, but in the interest of not cluttering, does anyone have any knowledge about these?

number on the back of the button seems to be long gone.

interesting pocket design, and a tag that says "Movin' On."

(as usual, please excuse the shitty cellphone shots in the thrift shop changing room.)

anyone got anything?

"MOvin' On' was Levi's groovy hippie line, lots of flares and bootcuts for both men & women, mainly in the 70s I think altho they might have continued to 1980 or so.. flares were still popular in the mid West then I reckon...

(quite Lee-influenced too, I notice, especially the rivets and watch pocket).

Interesting, thanks for the info Paul. The fit is absolutely straight out of the 70s . . . my thighs almost exploded.
