When they arrived their was no tags or stickers on them unlike  the other pair I bought but I went ahead and washed them before I was going to wear them out. When I put them on to go out I could see why the other guy sent them back, on the front of the pockets was stripes in the denim that looks like crap. But I already washed them, so I'm stuck with a pair of jeans I can't wear. They should never got past Levi inspectors at the plant!!! And why would you send them out again after someone else sent them back with a defect?
