The cut of these jeans is still classic.  The fit makes them the most comfortable jeans out there.  I have had 560 jeans forever, and they really never go out of style.  They are looser in the seat and thigh, with a taper to the ankle.  Not one feature is overdone.  They are not too loose, and not too tight.  With "skinny jeans" all the rage at the moment, these are perfect for someone who wants a tighter fit at the ankle without the tight fit all over.  It can make you fashionable, without making you look like you have been shoe horned into a pair of jeans made for a teenager.  There have been complaints about Levi's not being as high quality as they used to be.  That may be somewhat true, but these jeans, for the price, are great.  It would be nice if they were still made in the USA, but for that, you'll have to shell out $150.00 and get a pair of Levi's craft jeans.  Those are awesome for sure, but for the money and fit, you can't get a better pair of jeans than these.
