Hey fellas. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Levi's 505 in Tumbled Rigid. Besides the fly being different, do the 501 and 505 basically fit the same?

--------Thread Hijack----------
I figured I'd see if i could get a response here, since the OP's issue is resolved and I didn't want to create a second, very similar thread.
I have some 514s in 30x30. Once they are stretched out, the leg is a tad bit more narrow than I like (in both the thigh and calf area, though I like the leg opening), but the butt and waist aren't as fitted as I'd like. They, of course, fit like spandex in the store before wear.
I don't think 29x30 is an option for me in the 514s because I have muscular legs. Any other ideas? Any levis with a little bit lower butt/leg ratio that would still be fairly trim fitting? The LEC straight fits from last year fit me better. I dont' know if they reworked the sizing this time around.

try bonobos straight? seems to me to fit b/t 501 and 514...but def pricier, even with codes.
I've actually got a pair of 501's in to the tailor right now to get the lower legs trimmed down a touch...love the upper part, but the opening feels like a bell-bottom to me. I'll report back on how it goes...though the whole thing could depend mightily on your own particular tailor.

Scooter, I don't think Levi makes a straight leg jean that fits any closer in the hips and thighs than the 514.
You might like the 511. But that's a tapered leg, which may or may not be your cup of tea.
This chart is really helpful - I've been committing it to memory a little bit every day. http://us.levi.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3146842

That is my problem as well, runner-guy. I do squats at the gym, and my thigh/calf size has outpaced my glute/waist size. Maybe I'll just try to grow a big butt so jeans fit better. Heh.
I don't mind a slight taper, nicholas, but my calves make most skinny jeans out of the question. I have a 240 pound body builder friend who is envious of my calf definition, actually. I usually do at least as much cardio and yoga as weight lifting, I just build muscle really easily.
