Bought these for my husband 5/12 and by 8/12 they have holes in the crouch and pocket. The front of the legs are worn thin. When he first put these pants on, he was crazy about them. He thought they were the ultimate jean ! If you want something as disposable as a bic lighter then by all means these are for you. But if you're looking for the once indestructible levi's then do not purchase these !  And if you think the 501's are better than think again. I bought a dark wash 2 years ago and they are shredded also !
note: my husband is a fairly active 72 yr old
