Picked up a pair or STF 501's. My waist measures 32"...Originally Posted by Fiddy

Aren't you wearing them too low? The seat looks all saggy.
When I used to wear 501s they never fit like that.

My Made in Mexico pair was dry this moring. (The furnace has been running a lot!) Really happy with this fit! May be slightly looser in the crotch area than the 35s but I'm OK with this. Other than that, I don't see a lot of difference from the other pair.
Now I just have to decide which of the two I want to dedicate to solid wear.

I got my 501's a couple of weeks ago. I like how they fit, but there is the one part underneath the butt where it looks like I have a wedgie. It's kind of like the pics ^^. It was like that pre and post soak. Any way to get rid of that or is that just how 501's fit? I got mine true to size. I was barely able to button the top button pre-soak.

I'm not an expert in STF by any means, but this looks terrible by any standard. I don't see the appeal in having a seat that looks this poor, not to mention the over-creased mid thigh to knee region. If you're a shorter guy like me at 5'7" this will look even worse as it creates a midget-like appearance.

Remember guys -- these are raw and had just dried from the initial soak when I snapped the photos. In fact, they were so stiff prior to trying them on that I was able to stand them up on their own in the middle of the room.
It takes time for the denim to settle and soften.

I put mine on yesterday. They fit, but they feel so roomy. I have been so used to getting slim straight jeans for the last 2 years or so that I forgot how much I love a straight leg 501/APC NS cut. My girlfriend says they look huge, but I am with Robert. They feel way more tent like than they actually look. I'm digging them.

What fiddy says. This is the way 501s look after the first soak. I see absolutely nothing wrong with fiddy's fit. And "overcreased" knee/midthigh? Hell, we 501[ers kill for those creases!
I guess if you're used to mall-brand skinny jeans or sanforized Dad jeans and are not familiar with STF 501s, you might not like this look. But I can tell that fiddy's are going to shape up nicely--and imo, they don't look bad now.
For me, there's nothing like a nice pair of raw 501s.
