Let me start by saying that Levi's 505 jeans are my jeans and will be my jeans until the end of time.  The 505's fit me perfectly and pretty much define my style.  But there is something different about the ones that I received from Amazon versus what I've purchased in the actual Levi's stores.

The material felt flimsy and the fit was completely different.  The colors also didn't look anything like what I expected, being much, much lighter than what I had received in store.

I sent them back and picked up another pair at the Levi's store.  I may try picking up the next pair from Amazon to see if I just got a bad pair, but I'm not excited to give it a second shot.
