I have been wearing the newer Levi's "Straight Fit" tag for 6 months now, and i am ready to give it up for good!
I just pulled out my older worn out "regular fit" pre "straight-fit," patched up the hole and i'm wearing them again until i can find a new jeans brand. The waist is too low on the new "straight fit." If you hold them up next to each other, the straight fit has a shorter fly. My ass is hanging out.. and i'm a tall fairly skinny guy. There's no snug support anymore.  What happened to my 505's???
Levi's has spread themselves too thin. They seem to have gone quantity over quality. At first i thought, "they can screw around with all of those foolish looking jeans as much as they want, as long as they're consistent with the good old 501, 505, 517..," but the foolish experimentation has gotten out of hand, and now the 505's have been tainted. IMO Levi's needs to cut the fat. Go back to the durable, traditional, simple line-up, and then only add a handful of other options for the made to last a month spandex type. Levi's has screwed around too long, and now it's just screwed up. I'm sad to not be able to wear them anymore. But I want quality, long lasting products, that's what brought me to Levi's two decades ago, and now, that's what's going to make me leave.
