I've been wearing Levi's since I got out of diapers about 46 years ago. I have bought my last pair. The quality in the last few years has been terrible. These jeans now have a serious problem with belt loops just suddenly ripping off. My last five pairs (two just purchased in the last month) have done this. I even had a pair that I purchased directly from levis.com a few months ago that the loop ripped out of and when I went to repair it I found that it and one other loop had already been repaired once (I didn't notice the patches while I was wearing them, who looks inside there?). They must not have passed QC at the factory and were "fixed" before being sent out. Just last night I took off one of my new, less than a month old pairs and found a belt loop hanging off and the tell-tale hole. No more.

When I contacted Levi's Customer Serivce I was told that I could ship them back (at my expense) and if they decided that they could be repaired under warranty I would get them back in six to eight weeks.
