Like a lot of folks, I too have bought and worn 505s for decades and now I won't buy them anymore. Not only did they change the fit, the increased the size of the back pockets so my wallet now rides down my leg. I can no longer carry my wallet in these jeans...therefore I will no longer buy these jeans.And 1 other comment - anybody notice Levis reduced the amount of belt loops from 7 to 5 a few years back? Another annoyance (cost savings) that I think changed the look and feel (I wear a belt so now the belt rides up a bit).It's a shame marketing folks don't learn from old mistakes...it's business 101. and if you don't know what I'm talking about, look up "New Coke".Off to buy some crappier jeans (Old Navy? Wrangler?) but at least they'll fit...
