Went to the store and I swear they're all different, even the same exact size in the same cut. 501s and 505s. The girl at the counter told me a lot of people are bitching about it as well. Bummer

Around 1988 - just after the stonewashed fad.

This is also the around the time that Gap and other 'classier' companies started taking market share.

Just try on any pair of jeans you buy. Simple solution. Every jean fits differently; especially different colors.

The only problems I have had with Levi's is that my 505's would rip at the crotch after heavy usage (work). May I suggest Kirkland Jeans...They are comfortable, reliable and attract da coogers

I seriously doubt very few on the OT wear Levi's man. You do realize the OT is the greatest collection of wealth, speed, power, and good looks every assembled on a message board right?

So FYI, I buy Levis jeans and you have to handle them a bit differently.

I usually pulled them up by the belt loops on to my fat arse. It was just habit. Well, if you do that they'll bust out on you pretty badly.

If you pull your belt out of them aggressively, you'll bust the belt loops.

Basically, I hate the belt loops.

I tried on 4 pairs of 32x34 and they ranged from real life skinny jeans to Jncos

Guess I'll continue buying wrangler originals. They all fit the same

jeans just for work? Man just go buy the cheap Wranglers DEJr pimps for Wallyworld.

I think Levis turned to shite about 1990 or so. Cant stand them.
