I have always respected Levi for their good brand. But this purchase just doesn't pull the trick for me. The waste is a little low for my taste and the size I ordered didn't quite fit due to no fault of mine. I have not put on any weight or anything but somehow the size managed to be a tad too small for me. My other jean with the same size fits perfectly. I guess this was unintentional on their part. I'd love to see them step up on this.
