My husband is very pleased to finally find a pair of jeans like the Levis he always wore.  I had ordered various jeans with different fits, since he put on a few pounds,  but he kept saying they weren't the same.  He wanted the old heavier stiff ones that took about 20 washings before they were the right fit and had softened up a bit.  We had given up, thinking they had changed to softer, thinner, modern denim that doesn't shrink.. (It is not really profittable for a manufacturer to use a material that lasts for 20+ years.)  However, these shrink-to-fit Levis are like his old jeans.  They aren't exactly the same.  They might be a little bit lighter weight and a little quicker to soften up (only 2 or 3 washings), but he is happy with them and likes the fit too....because they actually do shrink-to-fit. I plan to order a couple of more pairs now that I know they got his approval..
