Thanks so much! I know basic Levi information but some tags are still so hard to decipher. I started my own collection of Levi’s last winter. I keep collecting, today my new to me ones just got here. They are 501’s from 1978, the year I was born. They fit like a glove!❤

Awesome,. Yea the older were much better. Some older are tricky cause there were a bunch of different tags. If you ever need help just message me on IG(If you are on there) and i'll try y best to help you, just send me pics.
Very helpful, been trying to figure out what the modern ribbon tags meant, with all the codes, letters, and numbers.

Thank you for this info. I have been trying to find out approximately when i bought these jeans because my family and friends constantly ask me where i got them from. These jeans are unique because the back pockets are DEEP. When i say deep, i mean the back pocket goes down almost to the back of my knee. I tell them that I have had these jeans for over 20 years, and they don't believe me. Now i can decipher the date and found that these are levis silvertab that were made in 8/03. I wish they would bring them back.

Theres an overlap of years at each change of tags, no exact line.Its ok.

I just listed exact shirt. Should be a small white tag inside on side near bottom, mine does, but could be missing. Either way that is a 90s. Mine is 1998.
What if the bottom, middle number on the tag from the 70’s/80’s is ‘81’? I’m lost and any insight would be so appreciated! Thanks for making this vid 🎉

I just bought a second hand pair of levi's 501 and dated them back to late 2012 thanks to your video. However there isn’t the typical print that tells "this is a pair of levi's" on the inside of the pocket. Do you believe this is abnormal? There is also no tag at the back of the inside where it is generally written 501 in large which confuses me

@@johnv339 yeah, I’ve gathered that I did research on a lot of wrangler western tags when I bought a lot of 180 western shirts to resell. And after figuring out the large majority of the ones I had were vintage according to wranglers tagging system and then looking at other peoples listings, I started noticing that a lot of people selling “vintage wrangler” we’re not actually selling vintage wrangler, and I think along the way other people just started looking at their listings and assuming that the tags that they saw in their pictures must be vintage so they called there’s vintage too lol.
