    funny how so many brands have tried to break into the denim market with $150+ jeans, yet levi’s is still the go-to after 100 years. even more so now that they make the $20 levi’s signature brand at walmart-- just as good as the “real” ones and even more comfortable

      Levi’s are going to shit though.
      The 559s I bought in 2022 are starting to come apart. The 559s I bought in 2023 split at the inseam a few months ago. The 559s I bought a year ago blew apart last week when I set down a heavy box. They are observably getting worse as time goes on.
      The Levi’s from the early 2000s lasted 15+ years.

        Levi’s in Europe has been shit for decades so welcome to the club. Sadly it seems only premium denim isn’t fragile shit nowadays.

        I used to buy Levi’s, but not only have they dropped quality, they introduced some weird “in the know” naming scheme where they still make “old” Levi’s, but just charge $200 a pop for them. Now I just grab Kirkland.
