Many believe that buying Levi's online can be a "coin toss" when it comes to what you actually receive.  This has not been the case with my purchases through Amazon.com.  Recently I purchased a pair of 501's (Rinse - color) and I was satisfied with the purchase.  The jeans fit perfectly and are without any defects - contrary to what I have been told from sales associates that work in Levi's stores here in the SF Bay Area as to why Amazon.com can sell Levi's under $50 and Levi's Retail Stores can't.  It seems that only the best of the best jeans are sold in the retail stores -- well that may hold some validity for others, but I have not found it to be the case at all - in fact - I have had problems with my "full price" purchases of 501's at the retail store and no problems after multiple purchases from Amazon.com.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Levi-s-Men-s-501-Original-Fit-Denim-Blue-Jeans/dp/B0018OR118/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Levi's Men's 501 Original Fit Denim Blue Jeans</a>&nbsp;Well Done Amazon!!!
