At first glance, these appeared to be a normal pair of pre-washed black 501s, with the familiar cardboard tags, however on closer inspection, the fabric was very thin, with a very un-denim-like texture, the rivets were black rather than copper colored, and most tellingly the red tag on the right hip pocket did not say "Levis". ALL genuine Levis have the red tag, and they ALWAYS have the word "LEVIS" printed on them. The jeans were also weirdly wrinkled along the front of the crotch and top of thighs, as though the wrinkles were deliberately induced, but the texture was sort of stiff and crackly. I'm pretty sure these are counterfeit Levis. We sent them back for credit, ordered another pair of black 501s from another vendor and got a normal, correct pair of 501s with all the expected attributes.

This vendor should be looked into for selling fake merchandise.
