This will be the last pair of Levi's I purchase. Just to give some frame of reference for the 1 star, I'll go over a few things which have led me to abandon the brand all together. This is the third pair of Levi's I've purchased new in the last year and a half. The first two pairs have worn out beyond wearable use in less than a year and have ended up in the trash bin. I have no assurance that these will last longer than that either.

The fit and style of these are strange. They fit me around the waist but around the thighs and crotch they are much too small around my thighs. The styling on Levi's are bizarre because I have a pair of slim fit Levi's that are a smaller size than these (32x32) and they fit more loose than the 501's. I've owned higher end jeans by Armani Exchange, some slim fit by the Swedish company Cheap Monday. And the fit on these are tighter on my thighs than either of those. These are meant to be classic 501's. Not some designer slim fit jeans. The fit on these is just uncomfortable and Levi's are obviously trying to emulate some higher end jeans that are tighter fitting and but they just fail miserably and pissing off their long time customers.

As a comparison of how terrible the quality of Levi's have become over the last few years, I had a pair of Levi's 501 that I purchased at age 16. They were beater jeans, worn in regular rotation until I lost them during a move a couple of years ago. Those 501's fit me comfortably and they lasted 11 years. 11 years total wearing in regular rotation.
These won't last more than a year and the fit is just uncomfortable and awkward.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the last time I will ever purchase Levi's jeans. They no longer have my trust.
