501's

[Uncle-A]

My wife calls me "Old Fashion" but I prefer the term Traditionalist after all I do like old skis and old jeans. So my question is how many in the PUGSKI Community still own and wear 501's?

All of my "boot cut" jeans come from Old Navy.

I have one decent pair of jeans and the rest are bought at old Navy on $10 day...

 

[crgildart]

I have some but don't pay $50 for new ones. I have several different colors of 501s found used in thrift stores and eBay.

Old fashioned? Me? Perhaps, but in more ways than one. I also snagged a pair of those ridiculous super fat Jinco style Menace jeans lost week. $7.00 shipped LOL! Bring on the 90s day at the office hahaha!
Ask your wife about these...

Speaking of work, I'm a big fan of old school jeans style corduroy pants, GTFO with those pleated cord dress pants though..

Except for FRC's, 501 shrink to fits is all I wear- weddings, funerals and everything else. Be buried in 'em too. Bye the Bye, do you remember the old levi's radio advertisements from the mid 60's "Quack Quack, I am a duck. You are probably human. You have all the luck. You get to wear new white Levi's"?

In the mid 60's I remember a wheat color Levi's but I never had white ones.

Think the Beach boys were wearing them so it was California cool.

I still have 501s! I will never forget my first pair, bought in 7th grade, size 28-38. what a freak. (No, that isn’t the size I wear now...)

Most know that the first number is the waist and the second is the leg length. I didn't think that length would be available in a regular shop just in a big and tall shop.

I have a pair of those also 36 36 I like the boot cuts a bit long.

I was a 36-32..now a 32-32!

The 501 button fly was the standard of the world for a very long time. Haven't been able to make myself spend the money for a pair for a long time either.

"501" would be a great name for an all mountain ski.

 

[wyowindrunner]

Gotta get em at the farmer stores when they go on sale-buy 3-4 pairs. Nothing fits like 501 button fly shrink to fits!!

Always bought mine at the Army surplus. Wasn’t the rule of thumb that they shrink 2 in. in waist, 4 inseam? That puts it at 34, not crazy.

I was in a TJ Maxx a few years back and came across a pair of 30-40s for $10. They looked hilarious, I was thinking, Who in the WORLD would wear these? when I remembered I had a nephew who at the time was about 6’10” 190 lb. They fit him perfectly

501 black. I also have a few 20 year old blue

Just picked up a couple of pairs of 505s from Costco this weekend. Was surprised that they were well under $30/pair.

My legs have been way too thick to fit in 501s for a few decades.
Will have to put $10 days on my radar......

Volleyball coaches must have been going well out of their way to make sure you joined the team.

505's are just 501's with a zipper not buttons. I have 550's that are the relaxed fit, more room in seat and thighs.

 

[Willyum215]

511's are my go-to, have 4-5 pairs.
