## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ After over six decades of being a Levi's fan it's time to call it quits
            
*by M***N on March 18, 2018*

This is basically about overall quality.  Over the years I have watched the quality decline in every aspect.Inconsistent workmanship.  One used to be able to count on one pair of jeans being the same as previous pairs.  Not the case anymore.  In my last three orders of multiple pairs of 501s, items in the same order were inconsistent.The fabric gets thinner every year.Right rear pocket attachment point develops a hole over a short period of time.  I do not carry anything in that pocket.A pair of Levi's would last years.  Six months is considered amazing with today's product.These are made in more countries that I can begin to count with some of the worst quality control and workmanship that I could document using ISO9000 standards.Bottom line.  Overpriced junk.  This is the last time I will deal with this company who was based on quality in the past but has lost their commitment to the primary factor that made them great.  Time to try Wrangler once again next go around.  Ordered them in the past and went back to Levi's after the thinner material seemed cheap.  This latest Levi order makes Wrangler look more attractive with the latest, additional decline, in Levi quality.
  

### ⭐ What happened to Levi's?
            
*by A***E on December 17, 2016*

Ordered exactly the same jeans as I did 4 months ago, same size and color, and from the same vendor.  The previous order was exactly as I expected, and fit perfectly.  Still do.  I expected exactly the same jeans in this most recent order, but got something that is tighter, shorter, in lighter fabric, and with a "striated" appearance in the fabric.  They seem like cheap, counterfeit knock-offs of the original.  How does that happen when you hit the "order these again" button on your Amazon account?  Is quality control dead at Levi's, or maybe these are not even real Levi's?
  

### ⭐⭐⭐ just to loose up the fibers so the legs would even bend at the knees These are like tissue paper in comparison
            
*by J***H on January 12, 2018*

I've 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
