I depend on Levi's for great value, which is measured by how much I spent for quality received. Don't always buy the cheapest because I've been disappoinred by that strategy too often. Never buy the most expensive because it's not in my budget. Levi's offer classic style without frills that goes with everything function appropriate, because even Levi's are not appropriate at a more formal event. For day in and day out wear, the durability and washer friendly fabric are hard to beat.
