These Levis 501 are black.  After two months of washing, any damp cloth will still pick up black dye.  Also, the right leg has been cut and or stitched on a bias, so that the seam runs in a spiral down my right leg.  The seam on the left leg runs properly down the side.  Further, they fit oddly - bagging under my butt and tight in the thigh.  Something is odd and not right about them.
