I chose Levi's 559 because they had my awkward size (31x34) and looked pretty good compared to typical work jeans and the "fancy" jeans from all the other places. I wanted a simple, but nice-looking, pair of jeans and that's what I found.

They aren't too thick, which is just what I like living in Texas where it's hot all the time. The last thing I want is a thick pair of jeans. The only complaint is that they are a little bit too tight around the thighs, so sitting down causes them to rise maybe an inch or so. However, I still haven't found a better fit. Everything that fits on the thigh comfortably also is way too loose around the rest of my leg, which ends up looking silly.

Unless you have monstrous thighs, I would suggest getting these since they're pretty affordable and look great.
