Ok here is the deal - I have been trying to replace a 10 year old pair of 569 Levis. I still have the old ones so when the new ones came they felt appreciably lighter weight. Put them on a scale and sure enough the were much lighter. Old 569s : 1.45 oz. New 569s 1.25 oz. about 15% lighter which means they feel cheap compared to the original ones I have.
I could have lived with that, but for some reason jean companies insist on narrowing the distance between the waist line and the crotch ( Like Girl Jeans ) so they sit almost right on the hip. And leave no comfortable room in the areas that count. Newsflash Levis - We're not all 20 year old men.
I returned them yesterday.
