Levi's women's jeans

Levi's measures in inches: W for the waist, L for the leg length. The model number (501, 511, 505) defines the cut more reliably than the size. On a pre-owned pair of jeans, the difference between a beautiful patina and fabric at the end of its life shows at the crotch and the pocket bags, to be looked at against the light. On stretch denim, the spring of the elastane is decisive: once lost, the cut never comes back. Also check the belt loops and the rivets.
