My husband will only wear this kind of jean and has to be Levis. But, this past year the quality in the material is just not as it used to be. His wallet wears through after a couple of months. I just got rid of 5 pairs with that problem. Werent even worn more than six months. Tried putting iron on tape inside the pockets at worn through area, but it comes loose. I have since bought him a wallet that zips and hoping that it was his wallet doing the damage. Well see. It never happened in the last 35 years or wearing Levis , but have to try something. Im just not into replacing pockets by sewing at my age anymore. They are expensive to just wear for 6 months, with 6 other pairs he rotates wearing.  Please try to buy better quality jean material, and don't stone wash them all before making them. I really don't consider Levis to be a throw away item after 6 months. A few years maybe, or at least.
