I have been buying the sized 501's (not the Shrink-to=Fits) for my husband for nearly 15 years. Starting almost a year ago it is an absolute fact that these jeans no longer hold up for years the way they used to. In the past (at least up until 2 or 3 years ago) my husband would have about 4 pairs of jeans, so he might be washing them farily frequently. It was not unusual for a pair to last at least a couple of years. But since a year and a half ago or so, his jeans have been wearing through in about 4 to 6 months. He has many more pairs, so they do not get washed as often and are not subject to stress from the washer and dryer. The seams split at the crotch and down the legs and the seat wears. He does not give them rough wear. He is a college professor who is on his feet a lot, but not in a physically stressful job. Levi's just are not as good as they used to be and any one who says differently hasn't been buying them or wearing them as much as we have.

Levi's Men's 501 Jean
Until this week, I had been wearing levis all my life and in recent years was only wearing 501's for all occasions. I buy many different colors for my various activites. Currently I have over 10 pairs that have never been worn because there is no quality control at Levi Strauss. Living out in the country it is too difficult and costs too much to send the items back in to Amazon. The 501's I have were made in Egypt, Mexico, Haiti and other various places. The labels all match in size however some of the jeans are at least a full size smaller at the waist and some of the pairs have the correct waist but very narrow legs. One last issue I have is that the material does not hold up. some of the 501's I bought in recent months rip after wearing them just a few times, some of the buttons come apart.

Seems a little too heavy for a pair of jeans but I love the texture and the double color .... just right pair of jeans in my collection.

I agree with some other negative reviews that this fabric is either lighter weight than the 501s are in the stores or it is lighter weight than they used to be (which is certainly the case). However, I'm not working in construction and I'm not sliding down dirt paths on my knees so I haven't seen this to be an issue. The fit is very comfortable, what I am familiar with from buying in the store.
The color "Medium Iconic" is nice and similar to what I would consider a regular unadorned denim color. It has a slight lined pattern which you can see in the extreme closeup of the product image. However I would say there is a slight differrence that is not discernable in the product image. In real life, the line pattern appears to be more vertical than side to side. Also, there is a slight faded wear pattern on the front of the thighs so that it appears slightly lighter there, but it's not so pronounced as to be ridiculously false and trendy for the sake of it. I do think the subtle lined pattern adds some style to the jeans, but like I said about the fading, it's not so dramatic as to scream "Hey! Notice my fancy jeans!"
If you're going to be subjecting these jeans to heavy wear, then maybe don't get these, and instead go buy some Dickies (Dickies Men's Relaxed Fit Double Knee Work Horse Jean). The fit of these is true to what you expect. And "Medium Iconic" is a stylish (subtly) version of a standard blue jean color.
