    I found these old Levi's at a thrift store the other day. A score, in my opinion, even if they don't fit! As far as dating goes, I know they have to be 1971 or later since there's a lowercase e, and I'm leaning 70's because of how ultra high waisted they are. They have no pockets and no outside...
