I have now purchased 6 pairs of these in 3 years, not too bad but for the price I would expect them to last a lot longer.  I originally found a pair of these at a JC Penny sale and they fit amazing, I gained weight after having 3 children and I have a pretty good sized toosh with larger thighs but I still have a waist but do have belly fat too, finding jeans was a nightmare, I have literally tried on 100s of pairs in every store possible and these are the only ones that fit right, I hate the gap at the back I get in every other pair and it is just not there in these.  They are also not mom jeans and I feel nice in them, I can wear them casual or I can put heals on and look dressy.  There are several different styles of the same brand number, I found the ones with the double button have a slightly larger size to them where as the single button type are quite a bit smaller in the waist and thighs.  I love these jeans and I do tend to wear them almost every day, I bought my first 2 pairs individually and both only lasted 6 months so now I buy 2 pairs at a time and try and switch them out and don't have to purchase more for 12 months.  I wear them for around the house but also work outside on our farm, they get a good use out of them but in every pair now the same problem has happened with the seam on the inner thigh wearing away and creating holes or tears.  I end up stitching it back together but it will continue to spread past the stitches until eventually they are un-repairable.  I do not know if this is that they are too small for me after shrinkage as they fit comfortably I think it is just a cheaper material then regular jeans.  They are very thin compared to normal denim jeans so this could be the problem.  Again I do love them but I just hate having to buy new pairs every 6 months/12 months I would expect a lot more from Levi so I am again going to attempt to find another style/make that will last longer.
