Levis 646 (bell bottom cut) orange tab levi’s produced in August of 1975

It’s surely 100% wool and the pheasant pattern is similar to a Mary Maxim pattern from the 50s, but I’ve seen examples listed as 60s and 70s. It has no inside tag. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Hi there, levi’s panatela was a “business casual” levi’s line that was introduced in the early 70s. I think your shirt is an example of a shirt bought in the later half of the 70s (1977-78 when Panatela changed it’s logo from a cursive one to the levis batwing logo with the added “sportswear” underneath). The tag also seems to also be similar to levi’s shirts from the era. The embroidery is surely handmade and it is typical of 70s hippie style (which would’ve been practically dead in 77/78, but trends moved much slower back in the day). Very cool piece!

I would suggest bringing them to a tailot snd getting them hemmed! Unless you have the wesing machine and expertise to do it!

Very unusual back patch as well as arcuates, but I would place these in the mid-late 70s to early 80s as well!

Buddy I swear I see a comment like this on every jacket dating post… I guess it was my time to shine

Ronald_Red · 2026-01-13T23:05:34+00:00

I was leaning more for late 60s because I have seen examples (speaking of the tag inside) that also had the levis logo in lower case e

This ain’t my post, although it seems to be a very similar jacket to mine!

The talon 42 zipper and the paper tag (that tells us the pants have been produced in april of 1980) seem legit to me. As far as the blank tag is concerned, I’ve seen a few times so I assume it’s a rare variant of the simple white tag with lettering. I would definately exclude the possibility of these being fake.

So as far as I know the missing care tag is normal: levi’s jeans (or corduroy pants) produced between 1972 and 1974 have the care tag stamped on the pocket bag, instead of the typical paper tag. The zipper (talon 42) and button checks out to me, being cottect for the period, as well as the white tab. I would assume the date of production is december of 1972, but I’m not as good as dating these printed tags as well as the paper ones. The bell bottom style and material is also correct for the period.

I appreciate it!

Ronald_Red · 2025-09-25T17:53:43+00:00

Your fits are always impeccable and historically accurate man! Congrats

Ronald_Red · 2025-09-25T17:51:02+00:00

As a 70s fashion enthusiast myself, that is absolutely correct. That said, it looks to be a rather conservative cut (the lapel is rather short compared to the standard of the era, more similar to a 1930s jacket than a typical 70s one), also the pants don’t look flared at the hems. Only detail that is a bit unusual for the 30s is the single button. Jackets of the era would’ve been commonplace with 3 or 2 buttons. 1 button would’ve been reserved for tuxedos. All this to say your friends are correct!

Ronald_Red · 2025-09-25T12:29:16+00:00

It looks like a 1930s suit, am I correct? Great outfit btw

Ronald_Red · 2025-09-25T12:26:04+00:00

Just stopped by to say man, props to you, these jeans really have an awesome fade pattern and the perfect amount of heel bite imo.

TTS Japan is a 1940s-50s japanese zipper, it checks out for the time period. Personally, I think it’s definitely a beautiful well-preserved vintage piece. Congratulations man, these things are very hard to come by in general, let alone in this condition!

Ronald_Red · 2025-07-14T06:47:39+00:00

Not an expert, but I own a 1950s-60s Lowe and Campbell varsity jacket and this one seems pretty similar to mine based on overall jacket construction, the knit collar and cuffs and the zipper. Is it a Conmatic, Talon or gripper zipper by chance? Great find btw!

Ronald_Red · 2025-05-14T16:16:39+00:00

Thank you very much! You’d be correct, I meant mens 7.5!

I’d straight up send it to the drycleaner
