Vintage Levi’s Jeans Dura Plus Women Flare Pants From ’70’s

This vintage deadstock Levi’s Jeans Dura Plus is in my private collection for a while, but never showed on my blog. It’s a typical pair of denim from the mid ’70’s featuring the orange tab on the back pocket. In the ’70’s Levi’s Jeans made a new fabric called Dura Plus. Dura Plus was a fabric that was made of a mix of 54% cotton and 36% polyester to give you comfort, minimize wrinkling and reduce shrinkage. It was one of the heaviest Levi’s fabrics ever made so far. A true 1970’s tough denim. The fit is a classic hippy flare pipe model and the blue colour is amazing, deeply indigo blue. Check also the funny original tv commercial which they used to promote this new fabric.
