Being brought up on a diet of baggy jeans carefully placed on the crest of my backside (the last place the jeans can actually hang from) It’s taken me quite a while to adapt to this narrow jeans culture. I’ve always believed that denim should be worn loose and hung low, leaving plenty of space to fill your pockets with practically anything (I once could walk through a crowded bar with a pint in each pocket during my heavy beer drinking days), however fashion does indeed change and walking around in recent times with my baggy denim spilling over my shoes had left me feeling rather old and certainly not very sharp. Very few men of my very early vintage could ever endorse a skinny leg. They look uncomfortable and I for one have a strong pair of power house thighs that would possibly cause strain to Hulkish effects.
The levis 501 has quite frankly been the answer. It’s no wonder that for many decades they’ve been levi’s first choice cut. A straight leg which gives enough space for ones thighs and legs, leaving further space for a mobile and a wallet. I somewhat heartily believe that the 501 will be the staple choice for all those ex layabouts who still long to feel a little loose in these figure hugging times. In fact a clean 32 x 32 button fly wipes the floor with any waist 40 ensemble and actually make a point of showing wider society your often well chosen choice of footwear. This cut has stood the test of time provided astonishing advertising campaigns and should be worn by every gracefully aspiring young man whose middle age is slowly approaching.
