Dating Levi's Denim Jacket

Hello,
I was wondering if there are any Levi's experts. I purchased a jacket. The seller claims it's from the 60s/70s. I'm obviously no expert. It has the two breast pockets and no side ones (which was introduced in the mid eighties and is still made today). It's a men's jacket apparently, so it's kind of slim in the waist and roomier in the shoulders and chest (if that means anything). Also, the tab is red and in lower case letters, so I know it's not the sought after Big E edition. The label inside is also quite small in comparison to the size of the labels on modern jackets.The stitching is orange. Any information you might be able to gather from the photos would be very helpful. Apologies for the quality of the photos.

Hi Melanie,
I believe that black mark on the label is where the care label would have been and possibly the fabric content label. So I'm guessing that would make it post 1970? This jacket comes from Canada, I believe, since the label has French and English. I don't know if that makes a difference.
