Title: These are Not 505s
Review: I too have been a long-time fan of the now departed 505 Regular Fit jeans. The decision to summarily drop this enduring style and substitute a new low-rise version--the abominable 505 Straight Fit--is positively baffling. I can only ponder what the folks at Levi Strauss were smoking at the time.But hold on, I found a substitute: L.L. Bean Double L Classic Fit jeans. They fit like the old 505 Regular's and are of equal quality (although I prefer five belt loops a la the 505s rather than seven). And the current price is $35 vs. a minimum of $40 for comparable 505s. I guess the extra $5 buys you the "Levi" label. I just don't think it's worth it any more.
