Im pretty tired of all those stretchy jeans with lots of Lycra or elastane. They stretch out while being worn and get pulls. And they show every lump and bump and panty line. I had a 10 year old pair of 505s that fit me well, but had a bit too many distinctive features, so decided to try the current 505 jeans with the same fabric composition as my older jeans: 99% cotton, 1% elastane.

The fit of the new jeans is virtually identical to their older sibling. Comfortable, with very slight stretch. Only a slight gap in the waistband at the back. Definitely a straight leg style. And they don't need to be broken in. The denim seems slightly lighter in weight than my old 505s. When I need another pair of relatively basic 5-pocket jeans, I would definitely consider these again.
