Levi’s has done a wonderful job of handling Japanese denim, imbuing it with quality we’ve come to expect & appreciate, and additionally, trust. This is why I continue to purchase their products. Aside from these things, I have admired the Japanese denim ever since I learned about it. This pair of Blue Tab jeans was intriguing — I experienced the details of workmanship & style and was looking forward to wearing them. They have lovely rounded pockets placed in slightly different positions, compared to a 501, which we all love. Large belt loops are pleasing also for wide 1970’s belts, I love the weight of the denim which makes it drape well. And the fabulous hem! Wow, it’s pretty & well done. A deep hem & every inch of it has perfect, perfect fraying. It all hangs beautifully on the body! And, yes, it is soft but not overly wimpy, which could detract from a fine pair of Jeans. The color is stunning. I love them.

Fit large. Was expecting to love them because they have low pockets, but nay.

Love the worn look. The waist runs big. I feel like they are more of ribcage fit. I wear a 30, i could easlily bought a 29 for a better fit.
