You may be smoking crack my friend, Levis are considered the gold standard of jeans and they’re rock solid… and their standard line isn’t even expensive.
Comment on I miss Levis
Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months agoJust not the same quality that they used to be

He’s right: I use only 501s straight, and after a year at most the fabric between the thighs is very thin if not ripped (yes, I am chubby).
On the other side, I have an old pair of jeans of unknown maker dismissed from my uncle which I use weekly for yard work: ten years in my possession, unwashable stains, destroyed sockets, but the fabric is still perfect.

Levis makes a huge range of quality. The stuff at shopping mall department stores is crap. But the made-on-Mexico shrink-to-fit 501s you can find at hardware stores are phenomenal. And they are still only like US$50.
