50% · 100% agreement across 2 attributes

Matched on fit and rise. Based on 2 of the 3 attribute(s) the levis-501 states (weight oz not stated for it).

Where this one is made is not stated on the maker's page.

Ranked on how closely the attributes agree, and nothing else. Where a maker states where something was made we show it, and where they do not we say so: a British company can sell a jean made abroad, and the two are different questions (see how we decide what counts as British). The score is agreement discounted by how much evidence it rests on, so a product agreeing perfectly on one attribute does not outrank one agreeing closely on four. Attributes neither side states are not counted against anybody, and never guessed.
