Earlier this year, doing a closet cleanup, I finally retired a pair of 501's that I bought in the Late 80's. They were falling apart at the pocket seams. They of course had a bunch of rips and abrasions, but they were just cool.
Last year I bought a pair of 505's. They are starting to fall apart. They are pre-faded, which means chemically or mechanically stressed. The 501's were old school shrink to fit, dark indigo. You faded them by wearing them and washing them 100's of times.
The new 505's are made of clearly much inferior denim.
They were also cheaper, an impulse buy for a teenager.
