One funny side note. In the article they talked about Levis being made all over the world except for one style, 501’s, which are made in North Carolina.
The only Levis with quality problems I’ve bought in years are all 501’s. Went to Wrangler but open to suggestions.
I like Magellan, house brand for Academy Sports, I think
Wranglers are less than 1/2 the price of Levi’s....and about 80% as strong...Levi’s just not worth it...most of their goods are made overseas...they made Dockers brand,,,now they make yoga apparel too...
