Customer Reviews Levi's® Womens 505® Straight Leg Jean

While I love Levi's jeans, and the 505's in particular, I REALLY dislike the bright silvery design on the back pockets. Pretty tacky looking. On a side note, of all the colors I have tried in the 505's, the "Always agreed" are by far the softest jeans (have a few pair).

I love these jeans but beware. I found a small fray mark that will soon be a hole right under the knee. I didn't notice it until after I had washed and worn them. I feel I paid good money for lower quality than I had expected.

The cut of these jeans is similar to my old 505's but the waistband is ridiculously big and stretchy; in fact, the fabric is altogether too stretchy given it's supposed to be only 1% elastane. I'm sending them back.

Lovely style and size 8 long is a perfect fit for me, at 5'9" and 140 lbs. BUT the fabric is anything but 99% cotton. It feels like 60/40 cotton/fiberglass blend--horribly scratchy. And the seam thread is equally harsh on the skin; feels like sandpaper. I had to remove every remnant of tags too. The quality is 99% less than what it was a decade ago. And why must Levis add that nasty stretch filler-fabric to all its women's jeans? Personally, I don't understand the compulsion of adding stretch to jeans--they just sag and droop after a few washes and weeks. How come guys still get the real deal in 100% cotton? (Or is that just what it says on the men's labels?) And as the quality plummets, prices keep rising.

I'm returning these. These are stretch and not at all like what anyone who knows 505 Levis expects. The material is not kind of denim that Levi's was known for. They are 99 % cotton and 1% elastane. These are not going to wear and wear like the old Levis did where you can have them for 10 years. They're made in Mexico. The fit didn't flatter me. They fit just fine, but with the way styles have changed, they look baggy.

This item is sized VERY small. I own these jeans in three other colors, and they all fit rather loosely. These jeans were an entire size too small, despite the stated size.

These jeans are terrible. I ordered four different Levi's styles and colors, and I kept these because they were 99% cotton (unlike the others) and I figured they had the best chance of not stretching out, as so many jeans now do. Out of the bag, they fit great. Then I washed them and wore them. After a fairly short time (an hour? less?), they stretched and bagged around the seat and crotch. I'm very disappointed and can t believe Levi's would put their name on these jeans. But now I'm stuck.

A very frustrating order. First I ordered the 8S which is the same size as another pr of the same exact 505s that I have that fit. Well these 8S didn't fit at all so returned for 10S. Those didn't fit either and didn't really seem any bigger. So I got out my original 8S that do fit me and compared side-by-side w/ these and the 8S were bigger in the waist then the 10S so no wonder they didn't fit. It wasn't by much but the 8S was bigger. Not for me to explain or understand, just very frustrating how designers must/can change the specs or something. So off to return again and I'm totally giving up on these which is a shame b/c they are really cute, hence the 4 stars only for the "style".

I just bought two pair of womens Levi's, I'm so unhappy with them after I wear them for 2 hours they have stretched so much they are baggy. The denim is so thin I paid quite a bit for two pair that I probably won't wear.

I ordered 2 pair of 505 6short. This pair is 2" shorter than the other pair and too small in the waist. I'm so glad I checked before packing them in my suitcase. What a drag! What happened to quality control?

The denim used in these jeans is very thin and does not retain its shape at all. If you scratch the surface of the denim, bits of the material [Pilling? Lint? Not sure of the appropriate term] come away! After only two washings, I was unable to to continue wearing the jeans as they had "stretched out" to such a degree that the crotch was 6" lower than where it had started and the bunching at the ankles ran up about as many inches up the leg! I have two other pair of 505 Straight Legs that I purchased years ago from a bricks-and-mortar that are of much better quality. Not sure why these are so markedly different; but now that I do know that there is a difference, I won't buy sight unseen again.
