505 is not the same anymore--look elsewhere

Like many others have said, the 505 is now called the "straight" fit from the "regular" fit with no information provided on why or what changes were made. Therefore you buy the jeans thinking it is the old style but it is not, this one is supposed to be a hip hugger jean I guess. Why Levis did not just come up with another number for these lowriders I do not know, but what you get with the new 505 is not what you are going to like wearing.I finally went with the Premium Performance Wrangler regular fit and it is fine. Too bad since I have worn Levis for many years, but no more. Plus the lack of rivets in the back, lack of belt loops. Just not a good product anymore.They say other Levi jeans will work, they do not work so I can only recommend to the buyers here to try them on at a local store before you buy a Levis product and be sure it is really what you want.LDW120
