I have been wearing Levi's as long as I remember and have purchased, probably 30 pair of 527's over the years....maybe more.  This is also the first time I have ordered jeans over Amazon, always electing to purchase in department stores. Needless to say, these jeans wer so, so much tighter (same size) than the ones purchased in the stores where I cannot even pull them up my legs. The ones from the stores (of course, the same size) have almost an excessive amount of room.  Also, the pockets were likely made for a babies pair of jeans but they accidently swapped out the pattern! They are about 1/3 the size as a normal pocket (as the ones I usually purchase).  Lastly, the tag is much smaller and different than the same jeans purchased in stores.  I just have a hard time believing these are actually Levi's.  I strongly suspect they are knock offs.  I will definitely return and not purchase again.
