I'VE BEEN A FAN OF LEVIS FOR MANY YEARS AND I SUPPOSED I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE JEANS. BUT, I PURCHASED A PAIR OF STF 501 JEANS AND DESPITE I READ THE REVIEWS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS,I HAVE TO SAY I MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE MY SIZE. I USUALLY WEAR 34 X32 IN CLASSIC 501,SO I BOUGHT THIS TIME 35 X 34. IN ONE WORD: THEY ARE BIG- AROUND MY WAIST AND LEGS THERE IS TOO MUCH SPACE.OF COURSE,I HAVEN'T WASHED THEM YET AND I HOPE THEY SHRINK ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTION!I WILL LET YOU KNOW AFTER THE SECOND WASH......
