For most of my life, I bought and wore nothing but Levi's but a few years back I noticed that the fit wasn't as good, the worksmanship no longer held up and the prices had become astonomical. I decided to try some cheaper brands including Lees, Faded Glory and Haggar but niit until I purchased Dickies to I find something I loved. At less than half the price of Levi's, I get a better fit and lo ger wear. I will say that the waist sizing is dead-on but the length required adjustment as 30" inseam worked better than the 32" I had been wearing for 35 years.
