These are a fairly good copy of real Levi jeans with some glaring exception.  The buttons are wrong and the outer leg seam is wrong.  The denim felt alright before washing but doesn't have the feel of classic Levi material after one washing.  While working as a hard rock miner in the 70s, 501s were both my normal  work wear.  They were the toughest jeans available and they cost about $10 a pair at the farm co-op.  These are designer jeans at designer jeans prices.  I'll buy my next pair of jeans at Wal-Mart and they will be wranglers for about $15.
