    Oh I'm sorry I'm new so I didn't know. Should I delete the thread? I actually just tried deleting it but I don't know how to...

    In any case - I'd love to know the date of these jeans if anyone knows!

    If you show us a full photo of the jeans front and back, we can try to help id the time frame. Any detailing such as the button and zipper also.

    Thank you! I saw a somewhat similar tag on the guild and I think they might be 1980s, although I'm unsure. back.jpg button.jpg front.jpg pocket.jpg

    Hopefully someone else here is more familiar with jean cuts than I am. Thanks for posting the other photos. I added dating these jeans to your title.

    I'm no jeans expert but that finish (bleach wash or snow wash) was popular in the 80s. The shape looks 80s too. But I can't remember if both the wash and the shape carried on into the 90s.

    The faded finish and highish waist -- I think may be early 90s. I think of the late 80s as being more about stone and acid wash. Here's a 1992 advert for Calvin Klein with similar looking jeans:
