Denim Diary: Levi’s 1950s 701
It’s no secret that my favourite pair of jeans are from Levi’s, and while I fancy a nice pair of slim jeans, my go-to style is always a pair of straight-leg jeans. The latest addition to my wardrobe is the Levi’s 1950s 701 in the colour "Worn In—Blue". Like the name, the pair looks slightly faded, giving it a vintage appearance that perfectly complements the timeless design of the straight-leg cut.
The fabric is 100% non-stretch cotton, which I find surprisingly soft. The front rise is 13 inches, and the inseam is generous at 32 inches.
However, my only issue with it is the fit around the waist. It gapes a little at the back, and I’ve had to wear a belt to make it snug. Despite this, the 1950s 701 Jeans are a great addition to my wardrobe, and I find myself reaching for them often.
