I love the 527 and have plenty of pairs, all same size. I only realized a couple months ago that not all are made in the same country, which is when i realized i love levis made in Mexico, they just fit me the best. Only problem with this purchase is that i had to exchange the first pair i purchased for a slightly larger size (32 waist to 33). Not sure why but the original 32 i purchased measured to be 30 not 32, so i went with a 33 and they fit perfectly so oh well. Took a week longer than i wanted but got the right pair now and they look great and fit perfectly.
