I’ve always been a jeans and a t-shirt kind of girl, and forever searching the next pair of perfect jeans for me. When I was young, I never had properly fitting jeans because I was tiny, poor and lived far away from proper clothing stores. I think I must have been closer to 18-years-old when I finally started to find some jeans that fit me tighter.
I was for a long time obsessed with super skinny, super low waist jeans, so low that if I had pubic hair, it would show. Slowly my taste has matured and I started a search for jeans that are cotton, not a polyester blend, that was a bit higher waisted and not skin hugging. I didn’t actually think a skinny jean in 100% cotton even excisted, but then I stumbled upon the updated version of the classic Levi’s 501, the skinny version, early this year, and holy shit, they are the perfect jeans.
Skinny leg, but with a little bit of room, thick 100% cotton, button fly, normal waist, bum lifting, thigh hugging. Just perfect. I got mine in the colour called Can’t Touch This, it’s a light blue pair with a few rips. Heavenly jeans! They mould perfectly to my body, just like a good leather jacket.
I was going to get them in different colours too, but either my size (w23l30) was sold out, or the other colours had elastane in it. I decided to enjoy my perfect jeans and check back later to see if my size was back in stock in a few other colours. I kept checking back a few time over the months but my size was always sold out. Then last week, I couldn’t find the 501 skinny from anywhere in the Levi’s site.
Here comes really bad news: Levi doesn’t make the 501 skinny at all anymore.
I seriously got a knot in my stomach when I found out. That is how obsessed I am with the jeans.
I immediately emailed Levi’s customer service to ask about the jeans and they said they are not currently making them but I could check their other models blablabla. I don’t want any other, I’ve tried them all and most are a blend or otherwise very ill fitting! I even send them emails from different addresses to let them know that we (read:I) want the jeans back!
I have the hardest bodytype to shop, and highest standards, for jeans, and I will no longer settle for anything less than the Levi’s 501 skinnys.
I began a frantic search for the jeans because I wanted another pair in the same colour as a backup, and then in a couple other colours. I’m compeltely and utterly obsessed with these jeans and I NEED more of them, not WANT, NEED! I started searching from any and every retailer that stocks Levi’s, to try and find a pair. Of course I could only find some leftover fat sizes but otherwise the jeans are basically not in stock anywhere anymore.
After hours and hours of searching the web, I finally stumbled on one pair in a similar colour, but with more rips and a size bigger than the original pair I have. I might boil these jeans and tumble dry in high heat to try and shrink them to fit me tighter. It’s not perfect but I got them for everyday use, and the perfect jeans will be my Sunday Church pair.
I will keep bombarding Levi’s with my emails and if/when they finally decide to do the right thing and bring back the perfect jeans, I’m buying ten pairs.

If I had to have a cloth obsession, it would be my jeans too... But to be honest, every time I go for some new ones I take three or four same type/color/size just to not return in several years and shop again... I'm kind of lazy...
Maybe camera backpacks... I already have four of them...

That is a smart move and what I should have done myself too!
Did you tell them who you were when you emailed them? Seriously, just say, yo, it’s Eve and bob’s your uncle, they’ll sit up and pay attention.
Here’s a couple cents for the buy Eve a shirt fund.

I tried to tell them, but maybe I should have added pictures! 😫
Hmm, I think that would do the trick. Let me know if you need a reference, I can email Levi’s and put in a good word for you as well.

Skinny ladies jeans is always made by 98% cotton & 2% Elasthane for proper fitting.
Today you are looking very smart with proper fitting jeans !!!
Almost always yes, but this pair is an exception and like you can see, it’s still a skinny fit even in 100% cotton!
Haha they look good on you but I just don't get skinny jeans on men, what it that about. I glad they have discontinued them! I remember once trying a pair on and the actually split over my thighs, too much cycling haha never again. I like a bit of freedom to be honest 💯🐒
These are girls jeans! Not for guys 🙄 they have the original 501.
🧐 I know there the girl version just inspired my rant. Although I think these days some of the blokes are wearing the girls ones there so tight 💯🐒
I agree with you on that, guys look dumb as fuck in skinny jeans.
Especially when they are tighter then there girlfriends haha 💯🐒
LMAO the email part xD
I honestly think you'd be a good model for the jeans!
I will work for jeans, Levi’s hit me up!! 😂
