Straight through the leg, no stretch, no distressing. The jean in every photograph of him on a bicycle in Tribeca.
4.6 out of 5
Rigid denim, a straight leg and no distressing — the specification has not changed in decades because it did not need to. Fifty dollars. Worth knowing the 505 is a relaxed straight: if he wants the higher-rise original cut, the 501 is the one to order instead.
