Beware when purchasing these jeans from Amazon, the one I purchased seemed to be old stock and ripped easily when I tried putting them on after the first wash (I wash all clothing items before wearing the first time.)I suspect the denim was beginning to dry rot. I'm upset that I cannot return the item. The quality was horrible. I used to buy 524s years ago and loved the quality and fit but this one was very different. Even the fit was off but of course the worst part was the fabric.
