    yay! Thanks. Am getting tired of waist gap and/or asking cleaners to take in the waist.

    Wouldn't you know it....

    Levi's is no longer making 529s.

    Soon as you find something ya like, they go and STOP MAKING IT! So, all you folks who love the 529 jeans, better go buy 'em while you can; cuz according to the Levis website "oops, we're sorry" they are no longer available. Even searching the 9 digit code on the care label on my pair came up empty.

    Boogers.

    Levi 550 never fit me as well as the 560 (which they don't make anymore, either), but I think I'll give them a second try next time I need new jeans. Unless they stop making THOSE as well! http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp...rigkw=550&sr=1

    I kinda wondered if that were the case. Dang. I wonder if they have a new style # that is cut similarly. I know we are not a rare shape.

    I think I'm going to hit Kohl's soon...but if I buy them I am buying the next size smaller, since I want no incentive to stay at my current 20#s overweight weight, so I want skinny pants!

    Naw, but thanks. I'll probably get a pair of women's 550 or men's shrink-to-fit 501 again. (shrink-to-fit 501 always fit, and though I am grumpy that they aren't made in the USA anymore I'll probably buy more. Can't argue with a classic, and the waist shrinks down nicely after a couple months. Diamond Gusset doesn't make their button fly shrink-to-fit anymore.... of course....)

    They still have full size runs at Amazon and they are on sale for $29.99 for most colors.

    I actually ordered a pair and they fit WONDERFULLY! And I love the price, too. They are just too long - as in...too long to even wear with heels, damn it. I'm going to try shrinking them, so we'll see. Maybe it's better if I don't fall in love since they are going away anyway, huh?

    I have a pair of women's 515's that have spandex but look like regular jeans. They are a little form fitting but have great range of movement for cycling. I wear them as much as possible for riding. I also got mine at Kohl's. I wear long-johns under mine in the winter and it's worked out for me.

    Yeah, I was looking at the 529s, but if they ever came in short, they're not available now. 515s are a little tight on my thighs, but they do come in short. Of my three pairs, none of them fit exactly the same, but they'll do.

    They did...but they were a little too short after washing a few times. I have a 29-30" inseam, IIRC.

    I find that the regulars are a little long, but not bad. Maybe an inch long, at most.
