This pair of Levi's 502 jeans have a very traditional denim feel. They are made out of 99% cotton and 1% elastane. The denim is very thick and feels heavy. You can barely feel a slight bit of stretch around the hips. The bottom of the leg is about 7 inches wide, and they are about 9 inches wide at the knee. Note that the ribbed faded marks on the front, and behind the knees, are made into the material.  Made in Mexico.
