What is a Levi's® blank Tab?
| Some Levi's® products feature a branded red Tab, while others feature a blank Tab. A blank Tab is an authentic Levi's® design feature that intentionally does not display the Levi's® name. Both branded and blank Tabs are genuine Levi's® products. |
Is a blank Tab still authentic Levi's®?
Yes. The blank Tab is a registered Levi Strauss & Co. trademark and is used on select products by design. Its presence does not indicate a defect, counterfeit item, or product irregularity.
Why does Levi's® use a blank Tab?
Levi's® owns the trademark for the distinctive Tab shape itself, not just the Levi's® name displayed on it. Using blank Tabs helps protect the brand's trademarks while allowing for variation across different product styles.
How common are blank Tabs?
Approximately 10% of Levi's® products feature a blank Tab. They are intentionally incorporated throughout our assortment and are equally authentic as products with a branded Tab.
