Why the huge price spread?
The gap between $16 and $190 for the same 517 orange tab listing comes down to era markers (a capital-E red tab means pre-1971 and changes the conversation entirely; redline selvedge means pre-1986), size (waist 32-38 sells at a premium because buyers actually wear them), condition (honest fades ADD value to collectors while repairs and crotch blowouts subtract), and fit (501 is the blue chip; oddball fits trade lower).
