Levi'sMen's 505 Regular Fit Jeans (Also Available in Big & Tall)

I absolutely hate buying Levi's 505s from Amazon. The size inconsistencies is ridiculous! I had to create an Excel spreadsheet to keep track to see what could be causing such inconsistencies and AFAICT, it depends on the countries of origin, as each country seems to use a different pattern to create the 505s, even for the same color/style! If you want a nice, comfy fit, you need to hope that Amazon sends you jeans made in Pakistan, Mexico, and China. If you want a tighter fit, hope that your jeans are made in Lesotho, Egypt, or Haiti. (Exception, Solid Black will be tight no matter what, that's just the style) I came up with this conclusion after purchasing dozens of 505s from regular Amazon and Prime Wardrobe, and returning the ones I didn't like. Not exactly scientific, but it's what I found so far. Because I can't choose the country of origin on Amazon, and because these Levi's size inconsistencies even exist in the first place, I give this entire product/experience 1 star because it sucks.

WTF Levi's, WTF. I've bought and worn 505s for decades and have always been more than satisfied. I received these and right away noticed something wrong. They didn't feel right. Upon putting a pair on, as someone else posted, it felt like I was wearing light Khakis. Not not LL Bean's Khakis either, Khakis from Target.I checked the labels of these 505s with my previous purchase and they were made in the same factory.Whereas previous pairs of 505s were typically 12-14 oz. denim these felt more like 6-8 oz.After a bit of research I'm not the only one that has come to this conclusion.And why the hell did Levi's LOWER the waistband??????After a bit more research I found that Wangler still males a lot of there jeans with 12-14 oz. denim. Bought some, love them.Goodby Levi's, hello Wangler.Update. I bought some 505s direct from Levi's and they are everything I expected. The only conclusion I can come to is the pairs I bought from Amazon were,counterfeit.

Add me to the list of folks giving 1 star to what was a 5 star product, and I'll be returning these. The denim and construction are as good as ever, the fit is not as comfy but probably acceptable, belt loops also a step in the wrong direction - but inch and a half shorter pockets? Are you mad? Jeans are supposed to be practical, and decent pockets for guys to carry stuff in has always been part of that. In particular, I've always kept my phone in a front pocket, since I don't like cracked screens, and my regular (not plus) iPhone 6 just barely fits now. Phones are getting bigger, not smaller, and I don't think I'm unusual in not carrying my phone in a back pocket.Levi's, if you're listening - I have literally never bought another brand of jeans since the late 60's - and that was growing up in Ireland where they were harder to find and a bit pricy. I intend to see if I can find one of your styles that is close to the 505 but with proper pockets, if not I guess I'll break down and try another brand. And let me know if you intend to revisit this 505 redesign and right the wrongs.

Levi Strauss needs to rebrand its 505 jeans so they are consistent, and Amazon needs to clarify its description of this product. Levi 505 jeans are not all 100% cotton. They do not all have the same fit. It seems to depend on the color, but it's unclear what makes the difference. They are made in different countries.It's also unclear why they are called "Regular Fit." That description appears on no label of any of the three 505 jeans I own. Two of the three have a label inside that prominently states "Straight Fit" and 505, and the term "Straight Fit" also appears on the size label. Those two are 100% cotton, are made from thick cloth one would expect from Levi's jeans, and fit as expected. One of those is black and the other is light blue. The black pair is made in Egypt, and the light blue pair is made in Nicaragua.In contrast, a slightly darker blue pair with the exact same Levi's 505 label on the outside waist is very different from the two described above. It does not have a "Straight Fit 505" label inside. The term "Straight Fit" does not appear on the size label. The number 505 appears on the inside size label only in the cryptic number sequence "00505-1341." This pair is NOT 100% cotton. According to the label, it is 72% cotton, 27% polyester, and 1% "elastane." The material is much lighter and thinner than that of the others and also stretches slightly throughout the garment. The fit is different; it seems to sit lower on the waist. This pair is made in Vietnam. It is not necessarily a bad pair of jeans, but it's not a pair of 505s as described here, like other pairs of "Straight Fit 505" jeans sold by this manufacturer, or as expected of any pair of Levi's jeans I've ever owned.As it is, and judging from other reviews on this page, there's no way to tell which type of 505 jeans you will get if you order them. Are all colors the same, so that if I order another black pair, it will be 100% cotton like the pair I just received? I don't know. If I order a different color, will it be 100% cotton and like a 505 pair I expect? I don't know. Levi's needs to disambiguate this brand (to borrow a term from Wikipedia) and get its act together. It can't simply deny there's been a change. Many people on this website have described the changes. What is the deal? We don't understand. And Amazon, until Levi's corrects the problem, fix your description of the product: acknowledge that some of these jeans may not be 100% cotton and may fit differently.

The jeans arrived faster than expected, which was great. I bought them as an alternative to the button fly 501s as my husband could no longer manage the buttons. They have elastane in the material which makes them softer than the 501s and they become a bit looser throughout the day so a belt is required which isn’t ideal. However on the whole, nice jeans .Also just received an import tax bill from FedEx ... for goods imported from the USA..sorry won’t be ordering these again.

Bought these jeans as a gift for my husband. So pleased to actually find some Levi 505’s as these are my husbands favourite fitting jeans, not too tight & comfy although not many places seem to sell them these days. The price was also excellent & as always with Levi’s the quality is good. The delivery took several weeks to arrive but we knew this when ordering & they actually arrived before the projected arrival date. Would certainly recommend & purchase from this Company again.

this is the first time I have bought Levi jeans and will never forget the day they arrived wore them out shopping lovely fit and comfortable. Finished shopping and like an idiot I fell over landed on both knees looked at the jeans not any damage (phew) the jeans were fine! me however I broke my ankle!

Good fit as expected, nice jeans.Arrived sooner than expected but unfortunately wasn't expecting to have to pay £17 in postage to Royal Mail before the item could be delivered.It said Free Delivery in the description.

I bought 3 pairs of Levis 505 Regulars nearly 10 years ago whilst in the States visiting family. Finally I needed to start replacing them as they're begining to fray and I'm getting a bit larger (I went from 32 to 34 waist)!! So I bought a pair from an Amazon supplier. Apart from the label theses Levis bear no resembalance to my old pairs. They too long in the leg, the seart and crotch area are very baggy and the material is heavy and uncomfortable. For the price paid I expected the right fit at least, let alone comfort. Beware.......
