My brother convinced me levis were worth the price (got them on sale) and he was totally right. I got these and Column Women’s Jeans which I did end up returning. These jeans fit perfectly and I love the button fly. I’m 5’3”, 120 lbs, and have a small waist. When I measure where jeans usually hit, an inch or 2 below my waist, it’s 27”. The 26x30s were a little snug with a t-shirt tucked in but quickly molded to my body after 2 days. The fabric is good quality thicker denim and the length is perfect for sandals, ankle boots, and tennis shoes. The stone wash was a little grayer than pictured which is actually the color I prefer. I’ll be ordering another pair as soon as there’s another sale! I have my mom’s genuine Gap mom jeans from the 90s and these are the closest ...

Great product that I’ve been wearing since I was a kid. However, it was a bit confusing with the traditional shrink-to-fits not clearly separated from the pre-shrunk variety. The store didn’t have my size in the preferred shrink-to-fit option, so I went with pre-shrunk pairs of the same measurements. These are a bit larger than I expected, especially in the length, but I had them taken in and they should work fine. Overall, a good purchase, but the store should make an effort to keep a full range of sizes in stock, and more clearly mark the categories.

I bought these with a gift card from a warranty exchange. The gift card made it were I paid $0.41 for the replacements. I found myself needing to exchange these for a different size as they run a little small, and when they didn't have the same color available I went for a refund and they are only willing to refund the $.041 not the amount of the gift card which was actually a coupon code. I contacted customer service and they won't do anything since they color I purchased are now sold out in my size. They weren't even willing to refund the actual amount from the gift card, just "sorry it has to be the same color". I emailed once and this was their reply, I responded to that email and they came back with the same scripted response even after I asked about another ...

I have over 30 pairs of Levi’s 501, 2 pairs of the limited edition Banner 501-150 years plus many, many other Levi’s jeans, including 516, etc. My favourite colours have always been Stonewash. I also love the colour Rinse. This latest Medium Stonewash in 501s is great. The only thing I’ve noticed is that Levi’s Stonewash now is not as light in colour like it used to be, however these are still fine. A Levi’s girl for 50 years ! Does that deserve a medal? I am not one for whisking of my jeans, I always buy just the plain one and certainly not the ones with holes. Appreciate its trendy, but I’m a traditionalist.
Bought two of these since Levi brand is the jeans I grew up with. I’ve had Levi jeans that I wore back in my high school,college days and even saw me through many years even after I started work. As a matter of fact, it was slightly frayed, no more worse than having worn it for almost 20 years. I only got rid of it when I can no longer fit into my old worn out jeans. It was sad to let it go of my beloved well worn out Levi jeans.Fast-forward, I decided to by the same brand for my husband, thinking that it’s worth the price. Unfortunately, it didn’t even reach a year and it ripped around the thigh area and I see holes around the pockets. I was dismayed because I have always been loyal to brands that I know have quality products. If I bought couple of pair of jeans ...

Unfortunately, it didn’t even reach a year and it ripped around the thigh area and I see holes around the pockets. I was dismayed because I have always been loyal to brands that I know have quality products. If I bought couple of pair of jeans that have been intentionally frayed and have holes on it, I don’t mind. But I like to have jeans that will naturally and gradually get frayed because of constant use and washes. But I also expect that it will take at least two decades before it will ever go to that point. The fit is still good, the buttons and belt loop are still good, the stitches are still clean and seamless, it’s the denim material that is made from mediocre quality that is the problem. If you like jeans that gets holes and rips quickly, this would be the jeans you will want to buy. But to me, the price you pay for jeans that have inferior denim material is too much.
Bought 2 pairs of 501 at a Levi store in Dallas TX, 1 pair was missing a belt loop in the front. The store would not take them back and I was given a voucher to purchase online. I did that and the jeans from the online store were not the same. The denim from the online store was thinner and the tags were not the same. They were 501's but the quality is subpar. I have tried many times to write a 1 star review and it would not accept my review. Changed it to a 5 star review and it was accepted... I don't think that is a coincidence!!!!
Macy's is great! My concern is the fabric used currently for Levis jeans isn't as durable as it used to be. I have always prized Levis for their durability but they have been moving away from that in recent years. Their construction and fit remain good but the fabric is of lower quality that is vulnerable to splitting....I have three pairs that have opened up in the fabric, not along the seams (nor between the thighs), that I have never experienced before - along the outer hip, or in the crotch - and the fit for me is reasonable loose...not tight at all. The lighter weight denim is all I can distinguish from earlier versions.
I wore these for years, took an extended break, and recently bought three pairs. Unfortunately they are simply not the jeans they used to be, and certainly not anything I would recommend or buy again. The material itself is fine, but the inner seams are seriously unfinished, to the point of being uncomfortable on one pair. Worse, the hems are significantly thinner, both on the pant legs and at the top of the back pockets, allowing them to curl ridiculously. That's OK on the bottom hems, but in two of the three pairs I bought the back pockets are a joke. They certainly did not look that way when they arrived, but did after a single washing/drying. No amount of ironing will flatten them. Of course, having been washed, Levi's won't take them back - an expensive lesson ...

So it looks like I'll be looking for other brands in the future. Sigh.
These jeans are flawed (no wonder they were affordable)! The little red LEVI tag on the back pocket is crooked and the LEVI patch on the back of the waistband is stitched through the middle and the right end is just flapping. these are definitely returns or seconds or I have paid a premium price for what our Levi knockoffs. They also do not fit like my previous 4 pair. the best thing I can say about these is at least they do not contain any elastic or spandex.
I don't know if these are worth the price bump from a normal pair of 501's. They aren't 100% cotton they are 74% and 26% hemp per interior label while I believe they are listed as 100% cotton. They fit very loose, I had read comments that they may be shrink-to-fit which is a shame. I'm not inclined to give these a hard wash or dry right away and end up prematurely fading them or lose any of the dye. Additionally the fabric on the thighs and knees feels thin, I started to see signs of distress after like a week of wearing.
