I bought my last pair of Lee's jeans 43 years ago.  After buying them and when they were still new I bent over and they promptly split open right at the butt.  I promised myself I'd never buy another pair again.  Well, I did.  I bought two pair, one in color "delta", the other in green.  Right out of the package, without washing, the green pair are tight.  I washed the "delta" color before putting them on, the fit was about right but didn't feel right  Just feels wrong.  When I sit down the waist slides down, which necessitates a belt.  When I stand up I have to pull them up.  My attitude toward Lee's Jeans hasn't changed.  I'm not going to throw them away but if I have another pair of another brand I'll choose the other.
