The Levi's 501 Original is the template for straight-leg denim: mid-rise, regular through the thigh, straight from knee to hem, with a button fly and five pockets. This black pair is 99% cotton with 1% elastane, so it gives slightly where the classic rigid 501 does not. The button fly, heavier denim and boxier seat are the usual sticking points for people used to zips and stretch. It suits anyone who wants a plain, hard-wearing jean that reads the same with a blazer as with a tee.
