Hey guys,
I recently bought my first ever pair of jeans*, Levi 501s from the store in downtown San Francisco. They are absolutely awesome, easily the nicest pair I've worn. In particular, they have a beautifully snug fit, but without any taper. It took me a while to break them in, but now they're super-comfy.
Last week I bought another pair of 501s, same size, different color, from the Levi store on Amazon.com. I figured I didn't need to try on an identical pair. These arrived and they fit .... differently. The waist is the same, but they're looser in the butt and thighs, don't hug my knees as closely, and generally feel noticeably "baggier", which isn't my thing. Even before shrinking/washing, my old pair fit much more closely. The new ones say "501XX" instead of "501" on the back tag.
What's up with this? How would I identify the exact cut/shape/model of my favorite pair so I can buy more?
(* weird as that may seem. I'm not from here)
