Loading... Please wait...These LEVI'S Action Slacks (Levi's Lot No: 40690-2728) are one of the most curious items in the range. Most people react with a mix of intrigue and delight when they see these trousers, as although these garments were popular in the US, but were almost unheard of in the UK.
In the most 70s shade of brown possible, these trousers not only have the coolest garment swing tag ever designed (just check out the images. Very nice!) but are also billed by LEVI'S as (in somewhat hilarious 70s marketing speak) "perhaps the most comfortable slacks a man can wear... lets you move freely... plus slim and trim styling".
As for the comfort, I can testify to this completely. The easy-care & machine washable 100% DACRON Polyester drapes around your legs with supreme comfort - almost more comfortable than not wearing any trousers at all! It's elasticated stretch waistband alleviates all pressure around the abdomen (so long as you wear the correct size!), and all round it's a universally admired pair of slacks which really does let you move freely, and is actually very slimly and trimly styled!
The only catch is that we've only discovered a few pieces, and they're all the same size - 32" waist with a 34" inside leg. But with a winner in so many ways, and with a label that is possibly worth the asking price on its own, those fortunate few who will purchase these trousers will be very privileged indeed.

SIZING NOTE:
These trousers are only available in waist size 32" made to a comfort to loose fit in an inside leg of 34".
PRICING NOTE:
We do not have many of this item in stock. And because of the way we grade our stock, (the less we have of an item, the more rare they are which affects the price) each colour/size combination has its own price to reflect it's rarity and exclusivity. The price generally won't vary by much, but occasionally we only have one or two pieces of a particular colour/size, so they become a lot more valuable. And once these vintage pieces are gone, they're gone forever.
PACKAGING NOTE: Although 99% of our garments come with any original packaging and tags etc that they may have had when they were manufactured, there is a small chance that some individual items may be missing these packaging elements. Although this won't affect the wearability of the garment, we feel we should still state the possibility of this however remote it may be. In saying that, this is unlikely to happen in the first case, as so far we've only seen items with their original packaging and tags!
WASHING NOTE:
Please remember that although all Retro-Guy clothing is brand new, the garments have all been held in storage for quite some time - up to 40 years in some cases. Therefore we recommend that you consider washing them before wearing them. Please check the garment thoroughly and satisy yourself whether or not you wish to do this. Just to be on the safe side.
COLOUR NOTE:
Please note that due to the photographic and computer screen variations, the colour of the product as seen on your computer screen may not be the precise colour of the actual product and slight differences should be expected.
SIZING NOTE:
These jeans are made to a regular fit in a straight leg.

You can use the garment dimensions below to compare with a similar garment that you already own to give you some idea as to how this garment will fit you.
Please see to the last image in the product gallery to see what each measurement refers to.
The garment dimensions below are of the actual garment from one side to the other when laid flat on a table. As this only shows upper face of the garment, some measurements (as marked with an asterisk *) will need to be doubled if you wish to know the circumference (ie 360º right around the front and back of the garment).
The waist sizes below have already been doubled to reflect the full circumference of the waist.
Therefore, for example, for a waist size of 32" means that the garment actually only measures 16" from one side to the other when laid flat on a table.
Any figures in brackets show the measurement when stretched. For example, "18 (22)" means 18 inches unstretched and 22 inches stretched
Any sizes without measurements will be added as soon as possible. (Sorry for the wait)
