Negative Positive
Title: End of an era
Review: Since junior high school in the '70's, I have never NOT had a pair of Levi's 505's in my closet. That's going to change once my current pair-bought at the flagship Levi's store in San Francisco, no less-finally gives up the ghost. The switch from "regular" fit to "straight" fit means 505's are now completely different pants. The waist is easily two inches lower on your hips, the circumference of the legs probably two inches less, too. If you're not a malnourished punk rock musician with no butt, you're going to look like ridiculous in these pants. And you'll feel ridiculous, too. Levi's is clearly targeting a different market from, um, everyone who ever bought these pants in the past, so good luck with that.
Is the review positive or negative?
