Not the same thing at all :-(

My 17-year-old son has worn Levi's 505s, in the same size (32x34), for several years. He hates these new jeans. They're too tight/narrowly cut. Yes, we'd read the other negative reviews, which is why we ordered only one pair, but it seemed to be mostly older guys complaining about the fit. Trust me, tall, slender young men have now also found these jeans to be uncomfortable. Levi's should bring back the old 505 jeans and give this new product, if they choose to continue it, a different number because they're not the same thing at all. We will need to find a new jean.
