    I have ever worn 1998 Silvertab Loose, 1998 Silvertab Baggy, 1998 Redtab 560 and 1998 Orangetab 560, all of them are size 36X30, here's my review:
    (1)Silvertab Loose and Baggy will definitely cover your shoes, I don't like such kind of jeans made for skate boys, so I sold them after several times of wearing, but Silvertab must be the best series jeans of Levi's, Levi's made them with various kind of materials, I've owned denim, corduroy, linen, khaki Silverab jeans, it's like Levi's completely dedicated to the Silvertab (2)Except the difference you mentioned on video, width on hem of Redtab 560 is a bit wider than Orangetab 560, but both of them are great, 560 is my favourite

    the two rows of stitching to attach the back pocket are closer together on orange tab. so a red tab’s may be more robust.
    comparing my 2 similar era 505, the orange tabs are indeed a hair slimmer in the thigh

      @@LootFam For the first 5 or so years after their launch, orange tab Levi's had no rivets. They were intended to fill the market place as fashion denim pants, without the traditional jeans characteristics.
      his all happened at the time when jeans came back into fashion, so they were manufactured all over the world. With some jeans manufactured for the local market, while others were for export, their were hundreds of different designs.
      The UK factory produced very poor quality and everyone looked for the 'Made in Turkey' label. The Turkish jeans used locally produced denim, which was probably the toughest denim that Levi's ever used.
      People rarely realise that like wine, cotton has good and bad years. This caught Levi's out badly, when some factories were suddenly producing rubbish.
      With all the factories using locally produced denim and fittings, it virtually impossible to date anything.
      One example was when the cap E was replaced with the lower case e, France was sent the wrong artwork. People are still finding these jeans and making totally wrong assumptions about their age.
      The whole thing is a complete minefield. As staff and designers at Levi's move on or retire, no one today has any REAL knowledge of what was produced where and when. Most of the mistakes were never noticed, let alone documented.
