While much of the negative commentary concerned Levi Strauss’s move away from domestic manufacturing has focused on the button-fly 501s, the bigger problem I have seen is with the old 1970′s standby, the 505, which has a zipper as opposed to button fly. The variability on sizing and sew quality with the 505s is an issue if you are going to buy them online or mail order. You really have to try them on to see how they fit. The 501 are much easier to buy online or by mail order because the sizing is much less critical on the waist, which is the so-called “anti-fit” waist, meaning there is no curve to the rise (the distance between the crotch and the top of the waist), because the original 501s were merely cut down bib overalls which were made to hang, rather than be fitted to the waist. The biggest problem I have noted on the 505′s is the variability in size in the thigh area, meaning that some fit baggy and some seem rather tight, even though they are theoretically the same size of a label. Since the 501s are more forgiving as far as sizing, if you are buying online you might consider them instead of 505s, unless you don’t want the button fly.

this is the second pair of levis i ordered through amazon. it was identical to the first pair except the first was made in lesotho the second in egypt. both were 36×29, but the second, the one under review here, the one of egyptian manufacture, was somewhat tighter, really almost too tight, and the button hole was too small, had to be forced. clearly levi strauss no longer has the standard for which they were famous, and here as in so much else caveat emptor (latin for ‘buyer beware’).

For as far back as I can remember, I have been a loyal Levi Strauss customer. I never understood why anyone would buy blue jeans from anyone else, but today I am questioning that loyalty.

As a result of some successful changes in my diet, my old blue jeans have become too large for me, so I purchased 2 new pairs of 505 jeans and a new pair of 505 shorts. I have noticed myself hitching up my newer, snugger jeans more often than my older, looser jeans. This afternoon, I specifically noticed that my shorts kept slipping under my belt–as though they didn’t have enough belt loops.

This evening I compared my new jeans with my old jeans, and lo and behold, I discovered that Levis have gone from 7 belt loops to 5. Five belt loops aren’t enough.

The other posts I have seen about this product are focused on globalization-related issues. I, too, hate to see American jobs move overseas, but this particular problem has nothing to do with country of origin. Regardless of where the jeans were manufactured, Levi Strauss has cheapened the design specification, and they seem to be waiting to see if anyone notices.

Dear Levi Strauss:

I noticed. Your product is not as good as it used to be.

I can’t remember being this upset about a product change since the introduction of “New Coke.” I don’t drink much Coca Cola any more. (That may be part of the reason I need smaller jeans!)

Please put back the missing belt loops.

Despite G & L Clothing’s claim that, “The jeans are the same quality products Levi’s® has manufactured for over 150 years,” they’re not. They have 5, not 7, belt loops, with only one in the back, and the waist sags down below your belt in back so your shirt shows between the belt and top of the jeans. If you want to look really nerdy, these are your jeans. Also, IMO, the denim is not as thick as it used to be, even for the darkest blue jeans.

In addition to poor quality, G&L automatically signs you up for email. If you want email from people like this, who promise you “watch your inbox for great things to come!” then G&L is for you.

Finally, I’ve understood that it’s illegal to charge a credit card until an item is shipped. Evidently G&L hasn’t heard about this, either. Or doesn’t care. Amazon’s 1/14/06 confirmation of this sale noted that, “[Your order is] (available to ship by

30-January-2006) Amazon Payments has charged your credit card (Amex) for this purchase, and the funds have been credited to G & L Clothing.

Not only do you get shlock jeans, but they illegally charge your card as much as two weeks in advance, and they opt you in for their lovely email.

Personally, I think one star is too many.

They were a little slow getting the order out, but I think that was caused by a delay from Levi’s. They definitely went the extra mile and altered the jeans to my husbands length at no charge. Customer service was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely order from them again.
