Good replacement for all-but-discontinued Silvertab Baggy May 17, 2010

I wear a size 31 x 34. I have found that most companies that make jeans, make some assumptions about you based on your waist. Most jeans that fit me in the waist choke me in the crotch and thighs. For years, Levi's Silvertab Baggy jeans suited me well. They were comfortable and durable, but were a little too baggy. They also had a slightly tapered leg, a huge fashion faux pas in 2010. Also, they're getting hard to find, especially in my size.
So... it was time to move on. And I've found a wonderful replacement in the Levi's 559. They have a straight leg, they're reasonably priced, they're easier to find, and they look and feel great. They're a little tighter in the leg and butt than the Silvertab Baggy which is a good thing for me. When I sit down the back of the waist doesn't pooch out, which is also nice.
I have had a hard time tracking the names of the colors versus the color code. I called Levi's 800 number and got the current list of colors along with their corresponding codes. Please note that the 559's come in TWO different style codes. I have been assured that they are both EXACTLY the same cut/style. Those style numbers are 00559 and 62223. From what I have been able to ascertain, (and I can't confirm this) is that the 62223's feature a leather label on the back. The 00559's have the traditional brown paper label.

I had a pair of these jeans prior to buying on Amazon. They fit me well and I wanted another pair. A quick search found exactly the same style number. Using Amazon Prime, I had another pair for a great price.

They fit great, comfortable, love the colors, and not as costly as the big money jeans but look like them! Another great fit from Levis!
