Hey everyone!

I need your help identifying this Levi’s 805. There’s very little information about this model online, apart from these two pages:

• https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage_and_old_denim_bottoms/levis_805_1_en.html
• https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage_and_old_denim_bottoms/levis_805_2_en.html

The 805 is often associated with the Orange Tab line, and every example I’ve found online seems to have orange overlock stitching rather than selvedge denim.

However, mine has both selvedge denim and a Big E Red Tab, which is what’s confusing me.

I paid €450 for it, and it’s pretty much deadstock.

Does anyone know more about this version of the 805? Any information about its production period or whether this combination of features is documented would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Are there collectors for this brand?

This is a type 2 Levi denim jacket.
I’ve been told it’s a 507BXX
