I love my old pairs of 525's.  But these are not the same 525's I know.....the waist is higher, the pockets are different, and the fabric is not as soft...I ordered the black, knowing that black jeans ARE a bit different than good old blue but I had to return them for a larger size and the waist has an uncomfortable fabric lining.  The transactions with AMAZON were FAST AND EASY, as always.  I then ordered a pair of 505's and love the fit which is similar to my old 525's.  Beware when you order these, the pics do show the detail on the back pockets on some pairs in the pics. Some of the blue ones have the pocket detail depending on which blue color you choose, and some other blue pairs do not have the detail...
