◆ Silver Tab Jeans ◆: Levis Replacements For Discontinued Baggy

The Levi's Men's 559 Relaxed Straight Leg Jean

I wear a size 31W x 34L and I have found that most companies that make jeans, also make some assumptions about you that are based on your waist. Most jeans that fit me in the waist choke me in the crotch and thighs.

For years, the Levi's SilverTab Baggy jeans suited me very well. They were comfortable and durable. They also had a slightly tapered leg, a huge fashion faux pas.

I've now found a wonderful replacement in the Levi's mens 559 Jeans. They have a straight leg, they're reasonably priced, and they look and feel great. Although they are a little tighter in the leg and butt than the SilverTab Baggy Jeans which is a good thing for me.

When I sit down the back of the waist doesn't pooch out, which is also a nice thing.

However I have found that different colors will fit and feel very different. I recently ordered Range Style Color 2765 and Indie Blue Style Color 4258

Both Levi's 559's, and both 31Wx34L. The Range variety were made in Lesotho. They're much looser in the waist and thighs and the denim fabric feels thicker. The Indie Blues were made in Vietnam. They're tighter in the waist and thighs and the material is thinner and stretchier.

I have had a hard time tracking the names of the colors versus the color code. That's frustrating when you want to look at what's in your closet and order the same thing. The jeans have the color code, but nowhere do they say the name of the color! When you go to order online, you get ONLY the name of the color and no color code.

For some reason, Levi's has never posted this information online.

I called Levi's 800 number and got the current list of colors along with their corresponding codes. Please note that the 559's have existed in TWO different style codes. I have been assured that they are both EXACTLY the same cut/style.

Those style numbers are 00559 and 62223. Levi's calls the 62223 code "exclusive." It means that it is manufactured for exclusive sale by a particular retailer. Sometimes, it will be a color that isn't available elsewhere and in the cases I've seen, the 62223's feature a leather label on the back, while the 00559's have the traditional brown paper label. The last 62223's I found were sold at the Levi's flagship retail store in San Francisco's Union Square in 2010.

It is worth noting that not all colors are sold in all sizes. So, if you can't find your size, try another color.
