Levi's Men's 00505-4886 Jeans

Great jeans just like the orange tab i had in years past great fit well worth the money..

Really pleased with these. The main reason for writing the review is to help with the sizing (written in the UK). I've had a pair of 505s for 12 years, and haven't worn them much for a variety of reasons, one being the rather short length from waist band to crutch, they really are a little lower cut than most of my trousers. But it's fine when you get used to it. The old ones were 34/32 size. I usually take 36/Reg trousers. But the old ones fit ok. And the fit of these new ones is fine, absolutely perfect, and I did, after some debate, order the same size as before at 34/32. Unusual consistency of fit quality over this length of time! BUT this means if you are a biggish 34, they'll probably be a bit on the large size if you order a 34.

Just what you would expect. True to size, good fit

Great jeans at a good price. They fit will for a slim person, though that can differ by body shape

This purchase did not meet expectations; while the jeans feature a favorable fit, the color quality is poor, requiring re-dyeing after only two washes to restore the original black finish.

Having worn 505 jeans for many decades, the first thing I noticed is that the material felt thinner than expected (something other recent reviewers have observed). I happened to have a un-worn pair of the exact same size and style with all original tagging that I purchased from a reputable Western wear retailer in the States. Sure enough, the older pair weighed 850 gms. This pair weighted 730 gms. That is 14% less material. The detailed tagging and general construction did not suggest a fake to me, but rather 'shrinkflation'. (Cory Doctorow has a better term that I can't use in this review.) In any case, it is certainly not the Levi quality I knew. Added after a couple of weeks wearing. They are RUBBISH. Downgraded to a single star. They have an elastic waistband that stretches much more than than basic size and bunches up on sides when tightening belt. 505s never had elastic waistbands. Thinner, lighter, and elastic--more like wearing sweat pants or pyjamas than the Levi's of old. DO NOT BUY if you are looking for the Levi's 505s that you remember.

Great price fit perfect

Jeans dean eat yer heart out

Sehr angenehme straight hose. Alternative für etwas kräftigere oberschenkel im Vergleich mit der 501.

Excellent fit and size as advertised

505 is the best. Like 501 but with a sipper instead of buttons!!

Levi’s quality at unbeatable price.

These are wonderful jeans. I love the fit and length. I am a tall man and found these to be good value for the money. The jeans' quality makes them versatile for many occasions. I can wear them to work and keep a nice pair for lunch with my wife. Very good buy!
