Many people are angry that Levi's have discontinued 505 jeans (NB 505c is something quite different.) and several websites make it clear how angry people are.  Another website alleges that Levi's in America are dropping 501s but this does not seem to have happened.  Many people would like Levi to drop the 501 and restart the 505.  Many people have been buying 505s for years and now they are suddenly unavailable, apparently without a replacement product.  This is completely unacceptable.  Levi's really must do the decent thing and bring back the 505.
