The 513 has been my go-to jean for years. They shrink just enough after one drying to fit me perfectly. They're slim enough to look contemporary without being "skinny." They have just enough elasticity to be slightly softer than 100% denim.

As for the color, I was looking for the traditional washed/somewhat faded denim color. These are about 95% of what I was looking for - maybe very slightly on the pale side. No complaints though.
