Not at all the Levi's I've owned and worn for years
WTF Levi's, WTF. I've bought and worn 505s for decades and have always been more than satisfied. I received these and right away noticed something wrong. They didn't feel right. Upon putting a pair on, as someone else posted, it felt like I was wearing light Khakis. Not not LL Bean's Khakis either, Khakis from Target.
I checked the labels of these 505s with my previous purchase and they were made in the same factory.
Whereas previous pairs of 505s were typically 12-14 oz. denim these felt more like 6-8 oz.
After a bit of research I'm not the only one that has come to this conclusion.
And why the hell did Levi's LOWER the waistband??????
After a bit more research I found that Wangler still males a lot of there jeans with 12-14 oz. denim. Bought some, love them.
Goodby Levi's, hello Wangler.
Update. I bought some 505s direct from Levi's and they are everything I expected. The only conclusion I can come to is the pairs I bought from Amazon were,counterfeit.
