other pairs which are in the same condition, and, at forty dollars

here.


IMHO Levis are overpriced and, with their stone-washed process, don't
last.
I now buy Key jeans....no stone washed crap and they are better than
Levis
or those cowboy Wranglers.. You need to buy the next size up
because they
shrink like the 'original' Levis did back when they were affordable.
With
my big butt and long legs I would have to pay $50 or so for Levis...
Key
jeans are made in central and south America probably the same factory
as
Levi's...
Here is one place you used to be able to get them. Right now their
site
only shows carpenter jeans...

I've had it with these Levis now. I just put the fourth patch on the
first pair, and they're all ready for the fifth patch now. Today I'm
going to purchase a pattern for some bluejeans, so I can pick out the
material myself, rather than having to settle for whatever the
manufacturer wants to use. I never used a sewing machine before, but
I'm sure that my mother won't mind loaning me hers. I might as well
make myself a blue denim jacket also while I'm at it.
