Ain't nothin else like Levi's Rigids 501's. These jeans go back to the 1800's Gold Rush in California, what other jean can make that claim? They're still the very best wearin thing around, especially if you're skinny like me. They have a way of formin themselves around whoever you are, they take on your persona!

501 fit skinny people? I sized down on the 1947 and they're still not "skinny" by a long shot.

They have a captive market, peoples grandparents wore levis so their parents wore levis and outfitted them in levis. I wear levis for the same reason I eat Mcdonalds quarter pounders. Levis put a good taste in my mouth as a child, so now that i am somewhat older Levis is my go to uninformed purchase jean.

Levis history is like the statue of Nebuchadnezzar in the bible, as time goes by the materials (and production) involved are of less and less quality.

Levis used to be one of the handful of distinctively American brands, now they are more or less a product.
