This brand has been transformed from the one I trusted for over thirty years, to a POS.

I've worn Levi's blue jeans ever since I was a teen. I'm now in my early 50's and these are obviously not the same quality jeans as they were even ten years ago. They're thinner, the fit of the exact same size and style is extremely varied from one pair to another (even the belt loops are double sized or super skinny on two 'identical' pairs of 505's), and they have been designed to self destruct in six months of casual wear.

EVERY pair of my 'new' Levi's now tear out @ the upper LH corner of the right rear pocket after 180 days of ownwership. I NEVER carry ANYTHING in that pocket; not even my wallet. There is no excuse for this identical, premature, calculated failure of a forty dollar pair of blue jeans.  And the now dainty belt loops tear off these tissue paper jeans if you merely LOOK at them too hard. Chinese Levi's = CRAP !!!

Bye bye, POS blue cotton pants posing as Levis. I'll not be purchasing another overpriced pair of these pale imitations. The greedy manufacturer has obviously made the decision that a billion new middle class Chinese consumers will buy garbage 'American denim'. Those of us in the USA with a shred of memory sure as hell won't be buying this $htt.

DO NOT BUY LEVI'S UNLESS YOU ENJOY LIGHTING YOUR MONEY ON FIRE.
