I too like Arizona jeans. They are the best feeling department store jeans.

I've also noticed that levi's weak spot is those pocket corners. I still like them though

I have never owned a pair of Levi's.

Now what do the Harley Guys, rodeo riders and white trash TA and Camaro guys wear??

I prefer "Wranglers" myself.

Wranglers suck....Levi's rule

Yeah it's not like they are paid high wages as it is

Levis 501's are the only way to go.

Or... Were.

Damn. NO other jeans are as comfortable to me. Wranglers squish my package. Old Navy jeans are great except the hips flare out on 'em like chick jeans :Q.

You KNOW that Levis quality and design WILL change.

Incidently, Levi's are the only jeans I wear - ever.

Bush's Fault!

I wear a lot of Levi's and Tommy Hillfiger <sp?> If you have a Kohl's dept store near you, they sell their jeans there for like $20/pr during sales. Can't buy generics for that price

I stopped wearing jeans several years ago. My khakis seem to be made in either Hong Kong or Thailand.

Levi's has been going financially downhill for some time. This is just a last-ditch effort to stave off bankruptcy (which I think is inevitable anyway). Pretty sad because Levis are the only jeans I will wear.

I like Gap Jeans. Loose fit. I used to like structure until they became express and went all gay.
It's sad about Levi's. They should have kept a plant in the US to at least have some claim to be american jeans. Maybe charge premium for US made jeans.

I've tried:

Gap jeans
Structure jeans
Tommy Hillfiger jeans
Polo jeans
Arizona jeans
Wranglers
Calvin Klein

NONE of them comes close to comparing to a pair of Levi's. With Levi's, I can go to a store, find my size, and buy them. I know that they will fit.

Levi's stay nice even after years of wear (as long as they don't rip). They breath and they fit right in all the right places. They're cheaper than most of the designer jeans too.

I really hope they don't just all out quit selling Levi's in America. I know that 2 of my favorite stores quit selling Levi's... I just hope that I can still keep buying them. I wear jeans all the time... and they're almost always Levi's.

BTW, Levi's khakis are really nice too. Dockers is also Levi's.

outsourcing seems pretty popular these days.
