Levi'sMen's 501® Original Fit Jeans Solice, 38W / 30L

Whilst I appreciate Amazon starting to cut back on unnecessary packaging, I was disappointed that these jeans came delivered just in a thin plastic bag with no added protection should this bag tear. Additionally the bag was see through, not so great for my husbands Christmas present when he took the parcel in! Thanks Amazon!Jeans themselves seem ok and were a good price for Levi's

As expected

Classic fit these! Can be dressed up or down.

Despite other reviewers supposedly spotting signs that these are fake I can confirm they are in fact genuine.The confusion I think stems from the fact that they are part of Levi's premium range and match exactly with Levis own web site. The premium range include strange details such as the capitals on the red tag ( copying their pre 1971 design), likewise the patch includes subtle differences which match an earlier generation of patch design. Don't worry if your red tag only has a circled r on it as apparently 1 in 100 pairs are made this way to copyright protect the red design.The fit is identical to my other 501s apart from maybe being a tad longer in the leg. The feel is a little strange due to the mix of fibers - softer than pure cotton but still as thick, and even though there is some elastene it doesn't have the unpleasant stretching of some jeans. If there is a fault it is that the jeans don't quute feel as natural as pure cotton. I gather the fiber mix helps the jeans keep their shape better ( stops bagging and shrinking)I would say that Amazon need to improve their description as when I ordered these it clearly stated they were 94% cotton. Only when looking again on my tablet did I see a description further down showing only 48% cotton . This second description did not even appear on my phone or desktop. Having said that I am still happy with the quality of these jeans.

Perfect fit

All appears genuine so no issues there. However, the description for 'Solice' details the jeans as 100% cotton which is what I was expecting, when in fact my jeans I received are 45% cotton, 36% polyester, 17% lyocell, 2% elastane. This does make a considerable difference to how they wear, wash and age . I assumed Amazon's information would be accurate, unfortunately the product is falsely advertised and not what I was expecting.

Love these jeans

To get my waist size a bit long in the leg, otherwise the usual Levi standard.
