After trying to buy this size and style of Levi's locally, we gave up.  Local stores might have a few pair, but never enough quantity to have the size we need.

I ordered them online, and they were here in less than a week without extra shipping charges.  The price is comparable to buying them in a store.

My only gripe is that trying to find the exact color you want is rather hard.  We like original color jeans, not stonewash or distressed.  But Dark Stonewash is close enough.
