noted and deplored by a few peo-
ple, but most are neutral regard-
ing contour. Levis are a result of
the trend toward tiffhter and tight-
er pants, evidenced in the 15 inch
and 14 inch bottom and short
cuffs offered in other pants prior
to the sudden popularity of the
levis.
Though the original "white" le-
vis were creaseless, there is now a
type on the market which has a
permanent crease. Called, "Sta-
Prest" levis, these are more cost-
ly than the regular levis and look
more like dress pants.
The weave is not as eviuenc as
it is in the cheaper pants, but the
expensive pants seem to have the
same thickness of -material, and
the same wearing ability.
This new crease IS the distinc-
tive feature of the more expensive
pants. Through washing after
washing, the crease comes out as
fresh as the day it was put into
the fabric. There is no ironing
needed to keep the crease look-
ing sharp. The combination of the
wrinkle resistance of levis along
with the permanent crease makes
these pants well worth the cost.
