Levi's 606 Super Slims

Levi's 606 Super Slims, 1965 to 1972 The narrow, low-rise jean Levi's made for the youth and college buyers it was chasing in the 1960s. It began in the fall 1965 catalog as Lot 351, a "Super Slim, trim, masculine fit" in preshrunk heavyweight denim, gained "low rise styling" the next spring and became Lot 606 that fall. A black Tab with orange lettering set it apart from the red-Tab 501, which is the first thing to check on a suspected original. Super Slims left the range in 1972, but Levi's Vintage Clothing has since reissued the 606, so a crisp pair may be a modern copy rather than a find.
