Do you still wear Levi's?

Try 511s by Levi

Pretty sure that is the last pair I purchased. I also still have a pair of very worn and broken-in 501 button-flys that are my favorite pair of pants ever. They were so faded I recently dyed them back to a darker blue. They are 8 - 10 years old and fit great.

I'm 48 and don't wear jeans as much as I used to but I still like my Levis.

Keep us posted. Because we are all dying to know whether your fashion choices change and how you feel about what you're wearing on the daily.

As a child, Levi's were my go-to jeans. But I'm pretty sure I stopped wearing them 20+ years ago.

These days, just like everyone else I know, when I want jeans I look to a designer brand. Wearing a pair of AGs as I type this. Pretty sure I haven't even thought about Levi's in at least a decade.

So I was somewhat surprised to read just now that this morning, Levi's IPO'd. The brand seems, from my perspective, largely irrelevant in 2019.

Do you still buy the company's products?

I have worn numerous other jeans including AG (when they are on sale as they are definitely not worth the full retail price) and I prefer Levi's. I like black 501s, the 501 CTs, used to love 522s when they were still made esp the non-stretch ones. 502s are good too for newer ones.

Levi's have vastly superior design in terms of rear pocket location and size. This is the reason women love them. There's a reason it's called "the Levi's butt." Other jeans have small pockets, or they are placed too far apart, or too close. In terms of guys jeans, the the pockets sit too low and make your a%% look saggy even if you have them pulled up. Esp Nudie.

Anyway...

Ha! "Designer jeans" LOL! Nothing gets between you and your Calvins.

Has anyone actually seen Brooke Shields wearing Calvins in real life?

What would the actual pair of jeans bring at auction today?

She really does have them.

Yes, even rock the jean jacket some times.

Way too many urban cowboys on this thread.

7 for all mankind, anybody ?

Great fit, great durability.

Jacob Cohen is even better!

I saw her in 1991 when she visited my ship in the Persian Gulf on a USO tour during the Gulf War. No, she wasn't wearing her Calvins.

Paying for a designer brand = hobby jogger.

I figured you were wanting to know since you are reading this thread.

Yeah, duh. It means you have money.

“designer brand” .... good grief, the feminization of males is getting scary.

I'm not sure I understand the age thing regarding jeans. If you are fit, a basic pair of jeans look good any age. Sure, avoid rhinestones and holes, but basic jeans are awesome.

If you aren't fit. especially if you have a belly, nothing looks good so do what you want.

I agree with the poster regarding khaki pants and wrinkles. They rarely look good for an entire day. Even fit people look sloppy in khakis.

Do I still wear Levi's what? And who is Levi?

I only wear Momotaro jeans. Looks great, fits great, feels great. Nothing against Levis per se, they are the original after all, but they don' t even come close to a pair of premium quality Japanese denim.

Lee jeans are the best. They have some comfort fit material that is a bit stretchy for us with jumbo quads.

This is the first I've heard of Levi's being irrelevant. Good quality denim I thought would never really be out of style, maybe different cuts of the jeans fade in and out of style but jeans are jeans amiright?

Levi's have been wearing out really fast for me, when I was a kid they didnt seem to. Now a pair of Levi's lasts maybe a year when in rotation with a few other pairs, and I only need to wear them about half of the year. So that is about 40 wears per pair before they start to tear. I wouldn't call that short of a life "quality denim."

I bought two pairs of wranglers a few weeks ago, I'm trying them out now and see how their longevity is. Initially impression is that they are far more comfortable. Time will tell with the durability.

They work for me, and last years.

I’m under 25 and know lots of people who wear levis

I feel like most people wear Levi's or Wranglers. I've always like the Levi fit the best. The more expensive brands look the same to me. Or I don't see the value in paying and extra $100 to have someone rip the jeans for me.

The 514's with stretch are pretty fantastic.

im 27 and i have one pair of jeans. theyre levis and i never wear them. im just not a fan of jeans guys.
