Vintage Levi's Orange Tab Bell Bottom Jeans - 1960s/70s Style

Vintage Levi's Orange Tab Bell Bottom Jeans. Inspired by 1960s/70s hippie fashion, reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock style.

Levi’s® 646 bell bottoms and 517 boot cut jeans were born in a time of ultimate self-expression. Hippies and others would split the seams of their jeans to widen the leg openings, sewing in panels of contrasting fabric, bandana prints, or denim remnants. The fuller fits could accommodate boots, and wider pant legs added movement and flow — perfect for the street or stage.  

Hendrix’s look was inspired by styles from the famed hippie hot bed, the Haight-Ashbury, located just blocks away from Levi Strauss & Co.’s factory in San Francisco. Hendrix was a frequent customer at Mnasidika, a Haight shop owned by Peggy Caserta from 1965 to 1968.
