Mr. Beanz Posted July 2, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2022 Bejeebus! $79 🥴 Gina has been wanting a pair lately. Hasn't had a pair for years. Went to JC Penny where she saw them this morning. Told her I'd buy her a pair if she liked. Tried them on not liking how they fit. Whew thank goodness. I remember when they were like $12.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they were like $12.😄 I bought a pair of 505’s at Penney’s at 30% off. Roughly $50. Yes it’s pricey, but I like that I can get a 29” inseam. Costco has nice jeans for $20 but I am too damn short for their 30” inseams. I tried the 501’s but do not like the button fly. When you gotta go, I prefer a quicker zipper.

Square Wheels Posted July 2, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2022 I have 1 pair of jeans I bought at least 15 years ago. I never wear them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pop the buttons with a quick yank much faster than pulling down the zipper. Buttoning them back up does take longer. I haven’t bought a pair of 501’s since the 90’s. I also have some Costco jeans that were like $18 and super comfy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 29 inseam in and just a tad too long. 🤣 Ended up getting a couple pair women's Levi's at Kohls for 40 bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted July 2, 2022 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2022 I don’t think I’ve worn jeans since early April. I just don’t care for the way Levi’s fit. Lately I have been buying mine from Target. They have the stretch fit jeans. I can wear them all day and not feel like I need to rip them off when I get home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentonMakes Posted July 2, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 2, 2022 I've never worn 501s... I've been buying 505s from Penney's catalog for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 2, 2022 Share #9 Posted July 2, 2022 I don’t remember the number of my Levi’s I think it is 507. I get them in a 35” waist. 36” falls down even with a belt. The last three pair I bought were $69 each. They last a long time. I’m still wearing 34s that I stashed away when they got too tight. I never thought I’d be wearing them again. I would guess by the end of the year I’ll be back in the 35s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to unbuckle said belt before reaching the top button and pulling the lower buttons apart to get my dick out to pee. When I’m done, I have to reverse said process, button by button, tuck in my shirt, buckle my belt. Wash my hands and go back to work. So yes, you’re correct, I’m not a 501 jeans guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted July 2, 2022 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2022 I used to wear Levis, back before they became fashion jeans. Very tough britches. Had to break them in like leather shoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Beanz Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share #12 Posted July 3, 2022 Yeah, I wore 501s from 1980 till about 1995. Then they really started going up in price. I didn't like them that much. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted July 3, 2022 Share #13 Posted July 3, 2022 Levi’s are thin and wispy now. L.L. Bean makes good jeans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what I mean? Several years ago I ordered Levi's jeans online. It is much easier to find 36 inseam online. You almost can't find that length in any store. When they arrived... OMG buttons... no zipper. Opps.. my bad. I still use them On the positive side... there is no zipper to break. (that's happened a few times over the years) Then again... yes I know what you mean. 3 hours ago, Mr. Beanz said: Went to JC Penny I'd have to drive at least 50 miles (maybe more) to go to a JCP. They all closed in my area a while ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted July 3, 2022 Share #15 Posted July 3, 2022 I wear Wranglers, less than 20 bucks at Walmart and they have the 29" inseam, I buy the 29 cause they don't have a 28 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted July 3, 2022 Share #16 Posted July 3, 2022 I’ve had the same 2 pairs of jeans for years. Wear them 4 or 5 times a week in cold weather, and about twice a week in warmer weather. I usually pay $35 or so a pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 3, 2022 Share #17 Posted July 3, 2022 I prefer Lee, the brand that fits. I always hated Levis because they just do not fit me, always too tight in the thighs and butt. It is a constant battle to find the shortest jeans possible. I would love 27 but 28 is the shortest I have found. I am very oversquare. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted July 3, 2022 Share #18 Posted July 3, 2022 I live in my jeans, and wear Dickies most of the time. Have a few pairs from Duluth Trading Post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
