Levi 501s say "America's original jeans -- since 1873." I used to wear
501 when I was young and had a body of a different shape from what I
have at present, but now I much prefer Wranglers (the ladies version
with the elastic piece on each side). In the winter I often wear
sweats because they are most comfortable under the Carhart bibs.
