Finally brought back 99% cotton

Im glad levis brought back 99% cotton fabric in the premium line of the 541. They feel much higher quality than the ones in the past that used a bunch of synthetics in the fabric.

Perfect middle of the pack fit

Perfect middle of the pack fit. Not too bad and not too tight. If you're looking for a default pair of black denim to add to your rotation, this is the one.

They aren't kidding when they say it gives more room to your seat. My caboose is so comfortable while wearing these pants... did I just unironically use the word "caboose"? What am I 60??

Good Quality - High Cotton Content

6 months ago
These feel pretty solid so far. They are just as comfortable as the other “Premium” 541s that are mixed with lyocell but I really like that they switched back to high cotton content (99%) for durability. I just hope they bring out some lighter washes and medium washes without the distressed faded coloring or distressed tears like they have with the other lyocell 541s.
