My Dad has been a Levis fan since the 70's, and i thought that he would really appreciate these as a present. He was asking for new jeans for awhile, and he hadn't had a good, decent pair of Levis in so long. As soon as he opened these he put them on and said "These feel the same as the ones I had when I was 18" and THAT is why I got them, for that reaction. Levis are such a great brand, the 501's are a classic, thoughtful gift to any hard working Dad like mine who deserve that kind of nostalgia
