These are my favorite everyday jeans. The reason for the 3star rating is this: The last couple of years I have had a problem with the inside upper corners of the back pockets. They wear out too fast. Mine tear at that point every time. I have taken to ironing patches in them to offset this and it lasts awhile. Also I have gotten several pairs where the seam on the left leg after washing settles in uneven...the right leg no problem the left comes around to the front, almost half way, and they hang this way out of the dryer. This is an obvious defect in the manufacturing process or pattern. I returned one pair to Levi Strauss and I have another pair I just bought doing the same thing. An obvious lack of quality control. I really like these 505's, aside from these problems they are still the standard. I just wish Levi would address it.
