The first pair I ordered a size up, per Levi's instructions for shrink-to-fit. I usually wear size 28, so I ordered 29, and they didn't shrink a size, so were too large. This pair was made in Mexico.
I returned the size 29 and ordered a size 28, hoping they would shrink-to-fit. This pair was made in Haiti, and after I laundered them in hot water and dried them in a hot dryer, they were at least 2 - 3 sizes too large!!!
The quality of the jeans themselves is fine, but the inconsistent sizing is ridiculous and frustrating.
I've ordered Levi's 501 jeans online numerous times, and they've always fit. I've suggested that they measure the waist size before they package and send them to the customer.
The processing of the orders was prompt, as was delivery. Too bad the jeans are not sized properly.
