Have been wearing 501s for 50 years.  These are fine and, as I bought the same size as others I have in the drawer, they fit fine and look like real jeans (not those with all the fake tatters).  However, these are not the same jeans as they used to be.  Don't know what Levi is doing but I wish they'd quit it and go back to the "old" 501 cut/material.
