I've been wearing Levi's since I could fit into them. They were the jeans back when I was a kid. I was so sick of Sears Toughskins because they had the reinforced knees that looked like somebody had stuffed a piece of cardboard in there. They screamed "Your Mom is Practical!" Levi's, on the other hand, were cool. It was what the hippies and fishermen wore. I'm talking about the early 1970s in Alaska. I grew up in that alternative lifestyle, one where if you wore a sport jacket, it was used. And you wore a paisley shirt, maybe some work boots. You rolled your own cigarettes and the other stuff, too. So anyway, I'm a fan. I remember wearing Levi's to work everyday as a reporter at the Anchorage Times, may that great paper rest in peace. And I still wear them, except now I work for a rural weekly waiting for technology and the economy to send all us old reporters out to pasture. Of course, I also wear slacks, LL Bean khakis. But the Levi fit is second to none. I tried Lee again but was dissatisfied. Higher waisted. Baggier. I had some Lees that rocked back in fourth grade but got battery acid all over them and they disintegrated. Batteries die at 30 below zero and you have to muscle them inside to warm and charge. I wore the same size 501s for years. I'd wash them several times so they'd soften. But now I'm old and wider. I wear 36 waist and 34 inseam. I wear a belt. And I love these pants.

With all the variation in Levi’s jeans these days, these are the 501s I expect. Not as thick as they used to be, but not as thin as some are, with the cut that fits me as opposed to some other versions. Black through and through. I’m not sure why there are so many versions, and it gets frustrating, I’m half writing this review to help me make sure I’m getting the right ones next time.

I really like the fit and the price of these jeans. I am trying to get away from just wearing "blue" jeans. These are perfectly casual and comfortable without looking too dressed up or dressed down like in blue jeans. I agree with some other reviews that these don't have the feel of the traditional 501's of 20 years ago, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As I recall it took multiple washes and wearings to get the thicker material of the old 501's to be comfortable. These are comfortable the first time you put them on. I assume that the material may be as "tough" as the older thicker 501's. But then again, I wear them for the style and not as work wear. Regarding the style, there are so many jeans out there today that cost hundreds of dollars in every cut from super skinny to baggy that I just can't get into. You know, you can't go wrong with a classic like the levi 501 and I think it keeps you looking good and stylish without being a slave to fashion trends.
