(I know its not really buy-it-for-life, but it’s a 100% cotton, no-stretch jeans which usually last me a couple of years)

Does any one of you know how to find a pair of Levis jeans given the info on the care label? The place where i bought it has closed down, other shops around me are staffed by pupils, and their website returns nothing.

Per the label:

Made in Spain, CIF A 08298606 00501 0126 32x34 267004 0204 08159 LEVI STRAUSS EUROPE MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA 15-23 AVENUE ARNAUD FRAITEUR BRUSSELS, BELGIUM

I believe the part in bold should specify the make (501) and the specific style.

As i don’t really care about the brand: Can anyone recommend a decent pair of 100% cotton, no-stretch, straight-leg (but somewhat bulky thighs) jeans which can be worn with (biker) boots?

Thanks a lot for your help!

    501 is the style

    0126 is the color

    32x34 is the size in inches waist x inseam

    Levi’s still sell non-stretch 501, and they should fit pretty much the same (although there is a lot more variation from one batch to the next than there used to be). If you can order from Levi’s online you should be able to get similar ones. Or check any shops for 501 32x34 in 100% cotton.

    Another option would be to get the original 501 shrink-to-fit (color 000). It’s a process to break them in (not as much as heavier denim), but they should last longer since they’re not stonewashed or otherwise treated to make them soft. Just read up on sizing first.
