Try Carhartt if you are unhappy with what Levi has done

My husband has worn 505's since he was a young man - so that is many years! He always wore the Straight Fit, in Rigid. We had read the reviews about how bad the "new & improved" Levi's are but had to see for ourselves. I thought a company only did changes that made their product better ...... wrong! Well, not the Levi company.The material felt horrible - different from the Rigid he wore in the past. We ordered 2 different sizes since there were people talking about the new lower cut and that their original size not fitting. Neither size fit. My husband said they would rub all the hair off your legs if he tried to wear them. Of course, we are returning them.Luckily we read the reviews on Carhartt jeans - ordered them - and they are wonderful jeans. He wore a "tight" 34 waist in the old Levis. The 35 waist in the Carhartts was too tight but the 36 was a perfect fit. The length in the Carhartt is the same he used to wear in Levi. We ordered the Straight-Leg Traditional fit in the Carhartt. Also the fit of the Carhartts in the seat is very good. Not baggy at all. The legs may be a tiny bit wider than the Levi's he used to wear but not much.
