jeans review
The original shrink to fit style of jeans can not be beat for durability. Once you find the size that shrinks to your comfort level, stick with it. Unfortunately Levi discontinues sizes and these were the last two in stock. Wash them in hot,hot water, dry completely in the dryer and they will remain the same size until worn out. If you are not hard on jeans they will last for years, if you use them for work daily, you can expect at least two years of service. They are the best value for your dollar. Too bad they are not made in USA anymore. The fabric may come from USA but the ones I purchased were cut and sewn in Mexico. At least it is a neighbor of the USA.

The quintessence of pants
I've been frustrated for the last several years because it's gotten so hard to buy plain ordinary jeans for women. They're all full of fashionable features: superfluous zippers, patches, gussets, grommets, decorative stitching, little drifts of glued-on rhinestones. But at the same time, they're lacking some obvious things: belt loops, or a pocket big enough to actually hold your keys and some change. They don't come in regular blue or black; they all have weird faded patches which have been applied in special factories at enormous expense. And nearly all of them are unflatteringly, ankle-chillingly, hideously, four inches or so too short. I began to wonder if perhaps there might be some sort of vast international trouser conspiracy, run by sadistic clothing designers who sit in dimly-lit rooms waving swatches of fabric and cackling maniacally.
It finally occurred to me to try the obvious, and check out the men's department instead. I'm overjoyed to discover that men's standard Levi's 501s fit me just fine, and look the way I expect jeans to look. They have pockets, and belt loops big enough to fit a normal belt, and legs that reach all the way down to my shoes. Hooray.
