Levi's Men's 501 Original-Fit Jean

Comment

Sometime ago, Levis were made a lot sturdier and from a heavier denim. They moved mfg of the jeans overseas and the jeans went downhill pretty steep, but seemed to be okay and tough enough for a light work jean. I think Levi has changed this jeans construction once again, because the latest order of these jeans barely lasted me a few months. Levis used to last for years, but now they are complete garbage. These jeans used to be about the same thickness as a regular pair of chinos, but now they are much thinner, Id say 50% as thick as kahki chinos. They still look good and have the same Levi fit, but the quality is more like a flimsy designer jean than the work pant that made these jeans famous. The funny thing is they feel like a knock-off imposter of the real thing, but sadly, theyre the real thing. This is what happens to big companies when they cut costs to satisfy a quarterly profit at the expense of their brand integrity. After 30 years of wearing levis, you have lost a customer. Makes me sad af.

Ive worn these all my life, almost 70 years, but the quality has dropped a lot over the years even more so lately and of course the price went up, $10 more than my last pair cost here. Levi is spinning in is grave at the shameful quality of these, For years, decades, several generations, a new pair had to be broke in, you beat them with sticks and rocks dragged them through mud puddles, just to loose up the fibers so the legs would even bend at the knees These are like tissue paper in comparison. And last about as long if you still work hard for your living, But now that industrial hemp is again allowed to be grown the Original Version could be brought back. But if they do Mark My Words the price will more than double, not because they will cost more to make Because they will last 5 times or more longer. Until then we are getting ripped off with an inferior over priced product. And made in China, or anywhere but the USA, is a real huge insult to Levi Strauss and the American Worker Levi made them for. So Sad

Have been wearing Levis for years. They fit as usual. I enjoyed them because I always knew what size to order, and I thought I enjoyed the fit. However, recently Levis have been poorly made. The material is thin and doesnt hold up. I also have found that the crotch area tends to pinch my tender spots when I sit down. After spending $50 for a pair or jeans and having them get torn in the crotch area after a week or working, I have since changed to Wrangler. I have found the 47 fit to be similar to Levis, yet much stronger, and i dont experience the crotch pinch and tear like I do with my old 501s. I will say that I keep one new pair of 501s in the closet for my going out jeans. The color of 501s is hard to match in other brands, so when I need a more fancy pair to wear out, I still go to my one pair of 501s. If you work in your jeans, I would recommend trying a pair of Wrangler 47s for a more durable and half the cost pair of jeans.

I am so very disappointed in Levi Strauss. My husband has worn Levis all of his long life ( me too before I found another brand that are made to fit a woman 58", 140 pounds with a high waist.) Used to be when I had a new pair of jeans they started being less stiff after maybe 2 years and 500 washes, & looking old at 5 years. We wanted them to look old back in the time I was a teen ager in 1968. These jeans were washed once before the canvas at the watch pocket was losing its color and the thread was showing!!! I washed them with mens white t-shirts and the color came off on them. I cant tell you what a let down that was. No matter how old they were back when they were made with quality instead of on the cheap they never shed the color and the actual material, with the shoddy canvas or whatever it is made to last maybe a year for $50.00. It is really ridiculous. I have had another brand that I am wearing now for 15 years. I still get whistled at when I wear these. I wont ever buy Levis gain, for any reason. I dont know how all of you feel, but I would rather pay double or more and keep the quality instead of ruining the t-shirts too. All around the cuff, the pockets, just both pair of jeans are literally garbage. He had to go to a local store to get a different size than he wore for many years to enable me to order the correct new size as he had lost weight as an older man and needed new ones anyway. The old ones were a couple decades old. Cruddy looking, but they got that way with years of wear. I am going to write a letter to the Levi company itself also. Total trash. Do not buy.
