UPDATE: The quality of these jeans has taken a serious nose dive. Now they're more than 10% polyester and incredibly thin. I freeze in the winter when I wear them. They're almost like leggings. I still have the 512 jeans I bought a decade ago - but these new ones barely last a year before they wear out in the knees, the thighs, at the pockets, and at the cuffs. I'm so incredibly disappointed. Paying $40+ for a product that barely lasts a year is highway robbery. I've been wearing Levis 512 for almost 15 years, but I'm not going to waste my money on them anymore.

==================================================================================================
I bought 4 pair of these jeans about 8 years ago. One is fraying at the cuff, and another is wearing thin at the inseam. The other two are still in great condition, just a bit faded from lots of washings.

I decided to buy a new pair to wear on casual day at work. All I had to do was order by style number, which is always prominently displayed on the back of the waistband, then choose the size and style. I don't have to go to a bunch of stores trying the find exactly the right size, length, and fit.

I plan on buying a few more pair over the next year because they're so comfortable and the fit is so flattering. The darker color is nice enough to wear to work. My old jeans will end up being work-around-the-house jeans, but I bet they'll last another 8 years. $32 for 16 years of wear is an amazing bargain. Customer for life!
