Levi's Men's 501 Original Prewashed Regular Straight Leg Jeans - 00501-0697 38W x 36L US

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have always loved 501's! The men's 501's have always fit me much better (I'm a girl). The shrink-to-fit used to be ordered as your actual size and Levi Co. built in the shrinkage. Now, you have to order 2 sizes bigger to get the same thing. Who wants to have a beautiful label on the back that is announcing 2 sizes bigger than what they actually shrink to? Again, I'm a girl, so.... I ordered my normal size as I usually do, without realizing the change, and now I can't wash them or they won't fit. In the end, I'm still getting the great fit, in my size, but can't afford the shrinkage when I wash. I give the product a 5, but are you changing that so you can save on material at the expense of a girls pride?

When I was in college (in the 1970's) I worked in a store that sold 501's. I sold them every day. I wore them every day. At some point, I moved on to other pants, and after 20+ years, bought a pair of 501's. They feel and fit exactly the same. I'm not quite shaped the same, but they are like an indigo time capsule . I like them so much I'm getting another pair. Thanks, Levi's! Some things are perfect as is.
