The bottom line on Levis is this: the manufacturing process is extremely inconsistent these days. I love my Levis, but I always have to try on several pair of the same size before I settle on a pair. I have 505s and 550s ranging from 32 to 34 waist that fit me well enough right now. Also, I wear 32 length and have thrown out a couple pair because they ended up "high waters." Maybe I washed and dried them incorrectly, but I have about 25 years experience with Levis so I should know a little something about washing 'em. I even sent two pair back to Levi for exchange once (I was very irritated).

I have a pair of 559s on now, and while a little loose they are the pair that fit me best at the moment. Previously (a few pounds and minutes off mile 5k) it was a pair of 505s. Actually, I just bought a pair of the new Gap 1969 standard fit today. Not bad, but a little pricey for jeans (for me).

Try on the Levis until you find an actual pair the fit you well. Make sure you have size room to wash...

501 is for real men. 505s are not.

Much like your idiotic first post.

Well after reading all of these posts I can see that there is no agreement on the fit. I learned nothing ! Btw didn’t smoking Marlboro cigarettes prove your manhood, or is it just driving a lifted compensator 4 x 4 ?

Yet another inane post.

Does someone have a problem with jocular discussion of manhood?

I associate Marlboros with the late '60s, the heyday of 501s, and find it amusing that 501s have come to be thought of as dad jeans. I just got a pair of low mileage 501s from the '90s on eBay. Under $50 for a timeless made in the USA product tics all of my boxes. They are almost as comfortable as khakis.

I prefer Levi's 501 !

For the longest time, 501's were my preferrred choice of jeans because they're classic and cool. Uncomfortable as heck, though, for my oversized quads.

501s do not change, because their demographic target groups are incapable of changing. Booze and drugs tend to ossify the brain. Aside from getting fatter and balder, the potheads who have worn 501s since the Seventies have not changed one bit. They still listen to lame drug-era soul/funk/rock, still obsess over 'muscle cars' and harleys....I could go on, but I'm getting that 'This is so nasty, I want to go wash my hands' kind of feeling.

Anyway, 501s are part of a visual code, indicating Marijuana use and/or risky amorous inclinations. Unless you want to communicate those things about yourself to others, it is probably wise to stick with jeans that have zippers.

Getting your junk stuck in a zipper might suck.
