Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rockpants!
Awesome pants. Sizing suggestions are correct. Mine are still slightly long after two washes, but i'm guessing they'll fit perfectly after another wash or two.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Pair of Jeans. - Rugged Material
I was very impressed on when i got these jeans in. They are nothing like any other pair i've owned. When you first get them in they are extremely rugged and tough but after a few washes the material softens and the jeans begin to form around your body. These jeans go great with almost anything but i prefer to wear them with wovens or shirts because of the clean / crisp color. If you do not want them to change their feel (soften) wash them rarely and in cold water and hang dry them.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not what they used to be
I have always loved Levi 501 Button Fly jeans. I have never flinched a paying a bit more for them since I wear them often. On 2 of the last 3 pair I've bought, the inner leg near the crotch has worn out quickly...like a few weeks. My partners' 501's did the same. They fit loosely enough. I can only blame the quality of the material.

I guess I must learn to wear something else but I would prefer it if they would increase the quality.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - 501s aren't what they used to be...
Levis 501s aren't what they used to be. In early 2003 or so they changed them drastically. They probably based this on sales and marketing ideas, but the effect was a jean that acquiesces to the ghetto-philia and prudish style of mens clothing that attempts, with great success, to hide the male anatomy. The "new" 501s are baggy, hang too low, the seat is bunched and nonexistent, the legs are too loose and the rise is too short. They look like potato sacks. If you want to wear these at your natural ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Levi's 501 "Original Wedgie Jeans"
I bought these jeans according to the 'shrink-to-fit' sizing specifications (1" bigger around the waist and 3" longer on the inseam), and indeed, after washing & drying, the waist and inseam fit fine. The problem lay elsewhere: The seam running along the backside was too short, inflicting a perpetual wedgie on my beloved posterior. This insufficient back seam, coupled with an absurd excess of fabric over the buttock region, created a most unpleasant effect of siphoning the excess denim up my @$$ as ... Read More
