Bought my last levis in the 1970s. I eventually noticed the the denim didnt look right and compared it to older levis I owned. You could see the difference in the fabric weave. Levi jeans no longer wore like the used to. Switched to Wranglers, Lees, and others. I now wear only Helikon SFU Next trousers made in Poland. Ripstop cotton poly that wears like iron. Double seat, double knees, nine pocket, dual hangers, tab adjustable waist, 2 in belt loops, with tieable hems. They come in seven colors plus several camo patterns. Very affodable, high value for money. I dont normally vouch for brands with the exception of Smith & Wesson and Helikon.
