The 560s are the only model of Levis that seems good anymore, and now they are no longer available in black. I contacted the corporate office several times only to be told to buy the 550s instead. Don't bother--the 550s are terrible, nowhere near as nicely fitting or as good in terms of consistent sizing and quality.

I get that Levis has to serve the younger folks in order to stay current and profitable, and that's fine. It's stupid, however, for them to alienate lifelong customers by no longer offering the classics. We are willing to pay for good quality cotton denim that fits reliably, and this is the model that meets our needs, but Levis doesn't appear to be interested in our business.
