Does Levi make pants for regular men anymore?

They do. 505 is a 501 with a zipper instead of button fly.

Well sort of, real 501's are shrink to fits.

For loose fit 559 or 569 suit me well, I have some 505 and another type that is a bit tighter.

Fixed.

I have a 33" waist, I guess by ATOT standards that's omgwtfbbqsauce fat. But as far as mens jeans most places I shop I don't see jeans below 32, occasionally 30 at some places. They're almost all still too tight for me, I know some men wear like 26-28, but you have to shop in the boys sections for those, and for good reason. Relaxed fit seems to mean tight as shit any more. Skinny jeans are worse, but the slim or relaxed are still both too tight.

Relaxed/loose fit

You would probably want the 559, 560 or 569s.

This times a thousand. There is tons of room in the 'straight and loose' variant.

Judging by the weird inseam, I'm guessing OP is strangling his nuts by wearing them too high. I'm not saying hang your ass out, but jeans are not your suit pants.

Skinniest I can get is 32" at my waist and that is too veiny. If you are a petite guy then smaller waists can happen, but anywhere 5'8" or up 33-34 is pretty lean.

That's a true measured waist. A lot of 33-34 pants are much larger in reality.

About a 33" waist, I think 505's on...may have been my Hugo Bosses.

these are the best jeans in existence:

The only clothes I've bought without trying them on first is tee-shirts and underwear, pretty hard to mess those up. everything else I go to the store and try on first. sizes do very a bit between brands.

The only thing I will buy online are pants, but I just buy the same type that I've been wearing for years (Haggar Cool 18). I find shirts to be annoying because Large for one company is completely different for another. Before I lost some weight, I would buy an XL shirt from one company, and it would be more like an XXL, but from another company, it would be tight like a L.

The worst thing about buying shirts though? The gouging for tall clothes. I wear tall dress shirts to avoid them becoming untucked in the back. That's only made worse by the fact that my belt has two settings: too tight (like a waist girdle), too loose (barely useful). Tall shirts have far less styles and generally cost 1/3 more than the normal styles... even though you can get XXL for normal prices. 😵
