I THINK ITS A TAB THAT WAS USED IN THE 60S / 70S IN CANADA ONLY TO INIDICATE A "CHEAPER" LINE OF JEANS THAT LEVIS MADE- LIKE ORANGE TAB IN THE U.S.

ALOT OF TIMES YOU SEE IT ON A SUPER SLIM TAPERED JEAN, ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW THE MODEL NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

These look like a 606 super slim to me. Interesting that there is no articulate design. And also, a Scovill Gripper Zipper when by this period they should have a regular Scovill zipper.

Carpe Denim!

606 IS ONE OF THEM, ALTHOUGH THESE MAY BE DIFFERANT. IVE SEEN THESE JEANS BEFORE AND THE DENIM IS REALLY NICE, ALOT NICER THAN ALL THE ORANGE TAB STUFF. I ALSO THINK CANADA HAD DIFFERANT ZIPPER HEADS THAN U.S.
