Jeans Are Longer Now Days.

[bullet08]

All my life, after 13 or so, I've worn 32" inseam. Lately, it seems 32" pair of Levi's are about 2" longer. 501. I thought I was shrinking for awhile. Then searching the Google, it says jeans are Longer now days due to latest fashion trend. Thank God I'm not shrinking, yet.

Thank God I'm not shrinking, yet.

Keep telling yourself that!

This has me trying to remember the last time I wore jeans...must be 25 to 30 years ago.

Haven't bought a pair in a few years, but 501 if so. Zip flies are the work of Satan.

Why did Russians stop wearing boxer shorts? They were afraid that Chernobyl fallout. (c.1986)

Love my 501s - they are the only Levis I've worn for decades but . . . they still run true to size for me, although I always am careful to check each pair before purchase to make sure the side seams are done right and the length is correct - there are significant variations, always have been because of quality control. I'm guessing you aren't talking about the shrink to fit version but maybe AI is confusing wearing a longer style (and ordering longer lengths) with jeans having intentionally incorrect labels?

Seems odd, but if that's what they are really doing I'll be on alert!

It never goes out of style. I love that material. I always feel younger and happier when I'm wearing these clothes—trousers, shirts, jackets. When I say younger, I mean spiritually, hahahahahaha............

Yep - it's a denim and classic, heavy cotton, gray hooded sweatshirt (don't call it a "hoodie"!) Saturday for me today! Some things never go out of style - I'd be wearing "sneakers" as well except for the overabundance of snow we're stuck with for the next few months, lol.

Jeans, sneakers and long sleeve tee shirts. Short sleeve in the summer. I’m 83 now but maybe when I get older I’ll wear something more appropriate like chino pants and a shirt with a sweater.

Unfortunately, most of us do lose height as the decades pass...

They are sure not made the way they used to be but that’s another issue.

Working on the farm I was very muscular, couldn’t wear Levi’s, too tight on the thighs, so I wore Lee jeans so I was not in style.

To the contrary. I believe I’m getting taller. My feet are farther away when trying to put on my socks or tie my sneakers and if I drop something it seems I’m reaching farther now to pick it up…..

It just so happened that I was going out for a round of bourbon and whisky with a friend, and I decided to wear some old Wrangler jeans; I love this brand. I'm going to pair it with a Lee denim shirt. Oh my God, now I really feel like an 18-year-old boy.

That's the cowboy / rodeo brand in these parts...

And the waist sizes are shrinking even faster. And shirts now shrink in the wash even more for some reason.

As for me, I just don't find them comfortable anymore...maybe if I lost about 20 lbs. Plus I'm fortunate enough to work from home, so I'm in sweats 90% of the time.

The big change in 501s that I've noticed is the fabric doesn't last. They used to be durable. Not the couple of pairs I've bought in the last 5 years. And I don't wear jeans as often as I used to, but the fabric wears out, mainly at the top of the back pockets.
