Vintage Orange Tab Levi’s Help

I sourced this vintage Levi’s jacket and am struggling narrowing down the date. It is an orange tabbed jacket with gold stitching and a white label-no leather patch. Can anyone give me any more information of when this was produced? Also any indication of what it would be worth?

I see it has a care label. The ladies Levi’s label started in the late 1960’s but the earlier labels had no care label I would say it is 80s or 90s

People recognize a pair of Levi’s® jeans by our famous red Tab, a feature first sewn into the left side of the right back pocket of our 501® jeans in 1936.
But did you know that LS&Co. has also used other Tab colors?
In the 1960s, Levi Strauss & Co. introduced an orange Tab on our garments. It was used on fashion and non-basic items such as bell-bottoms and boot cut jeans. Our orange Tab garments differed from our traditional 501® jeans. Some were adorned with fancy pocket stitching instead of our famous Arcuate design, while others sported pintucks or other unusual design elements. Over the years, orange Tab products branched out from jeans to include shirts, ski suits and other activewear. We even added the orange Tab to a variety of accessories, like the Levi’s® orange Tab golf bag.
LS&Co. produced orange Tab products until 1999. Today, the unique orange Tab features continue to inspire future design at the company.
