Levi's - Levis 505 - classic jeans with zipper —

I am very well impressed with the levis company, my brotherinlaw lives in a small rural town in the south. They dont have very many choices on clothing stores in their small town. The only place to shop was at Goodys, Inc that resently closed to bankruptcy. My brotherinlaw had purchased like 10 pairs of levis from Goodys department store and he seems to think they just got a bad shippment or something, every pair he purchased the belt loop ripped off from the jeans after only 3 or 4 times wearing them. Goodys had already closed the store when he realized he had problems. He emailed levis and told them the problem Levis told him to boxed all the defected jeans up and send them to him. So he boxed all ten pair of jeans and shipped them. He thought they would just repair them by sewing the belt loop back on well he was wrong. Four weeks later he recieved a package from levis with 10 pair of brand new jeans. Now is that not awesome or is it simply awesome!!! If you want a company whom stands behind their product then choose levis. FRom now on Levis has my business and if you watch SEars sales they run great deals on levis like buy one pair and the second half off and sometimes its get one free...And sears guarantees guality on thier inventory just keep your reciept if your not happy..

They've shortened the crotch and have gone fron 7 to 5 belt loops on the 505's. I've been wearing Levis for over 60 years but no more. Their stiching stinks and the weight of the denim is way down. You could stand a new pair of Levis in the corner "back in the day" and they were so heavy they wouldn't bend. They seemed to last forever (except when you kept sliding into bases on the old gravel baseball fields or wore out the knees from shooting marbles). Just to show you how old I am, my Mom paid $4.75 a pair and she would complain because "the other blue jeans" were only $3 bucks and change.
