Levi's SilverTab Massive Wide Leg Jeans
Levi Strauss & Co. (SilverTab line) · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Clothing > Jeans
Era / Decade
Late 1990s (approx. 1997-1999) based on the orange/black 'Massive' tag and SilverTab branding style.
Material
100% Cotton heavy-weight denim. Includes standard metal rivets and a button-fly or zipper fly (typically YKK or Levi's branded).
Condition
Very Good. The black denim shows slight fading (typical for vintage wash), but the interior waistband tags are legible and the 'Massive' embroidery looks crisp. No major structural damage visible in the photo.
Demand Level
Hot. The 'Y2K' and '90s Skate' aesthetics are currently driving high prices for wide-leg vintage denim on platforms like Depop and Grailed.

$125.00 - $225.00. High-demand vintage SilverTab styles, especially the 'Massive' and 'Baggy' fits, carry a significant premium.

$50.00 - $65.00 (Original 1990s price)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales for Levi's SilverTab Massive jeans range from $150 to $250 depending on the wash. Black/Grey washes typically fetch more than standard blue denim.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Grailed (highest price for this specific aesthetic), then eBay or Poshmark. These platforms cater to the vintage streetwear market.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Baggy', 'Skate', 'Rave', and 'Wide Leg'. Mention the leg opening measurement in inches (bottom hem width), as this is the most important spec for buyers of this style. Take photos in natural light to show the true charcoal black color.
