This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

A few months ago I purchased several pair of levis 505 from sears in texas city for my husband. He has only worn them for a few months and after washings we started noticing holes and slices in material... Like they were sliced with a razor blade and little holes as if they were shot with buckshot. We didnt think too much when this happened to the first pair (thinking maybe some chemical got on them or something), but now two other pairs have had this happen to them. It cannot be the washer or drying I am using as none of our other clothes have been damage. I am curious if this has happened to any other levis customers. Thanks.

I purchased 2 pair of levi 505 shorts at a outlet store about 2 weeks ago. Wore them twice and a belt loop on each pair same location have both tore off. Have only wore them casually and not as work pants. I've always had good luck with levis but disappointed in this quality. Shouldve lasted longer

I recently bought a pair of 505 jeans and they ripped along the inside of the right rear pocket. This pair was fairly new. I can send pics if needed.

I recently purchased a pair of shorts SZ38, I wore them for 2 days after receiving them and two of the belt loops became separated leaving holes where they were sewn. This is poor workmanship on behalf of the manufacturer.

Holes in upper left corner of right pocket. The pair on the left are about 12 months old or so. The pair on the right are about 5 yrs. I know things don't last forever but there was a time when Levi's just about did. I noticed guy on plane had same issue with his.

Two belt loops on my relatively new (approx. 6 months) 550 jeans have torn from their fabric attachment points. Poor quality.

I don't have invoices, receipts. Historically, I could depend upon levi products. Seems in the future I'll have to save my receipts. Disappointed!

I purchased a pair of jeans from Wembley outlet about 4 months ago and the back pocket has started to tear, I wanted to know what I can do as I do not have receipt and I'm really unhappy as I always buy my jeans from Levi's.

I would like to get refund or some sort of exchange, if someone could contact me back to have this resolved

Thanks

Barry

I saw this post and I have had the same problem.
5 pairs of jeans, all at the same place. Tearing along the top of the right back pocket.
$350 in jeans and they are all junk.
Why isn't this company doing something about it?

Two pair of 505 Jeans, less than 2 years old, both jeans are tearing where the top of the back pockets are stitched. These are poor quality - Levi changed the fit of the 505's (why?) and reduced the number of belt loops (cheap!).

I have been a longtime customer wearing the 501 exclusively.

I have purchased four pair in the last two years and one or two belt loops have pulled out in short order.

I work in an office and the jeans are not subjected to any abuse at all

I have two pair of Levi 505 jeans, the fabric on both has split on the left side of the seat from the top of the pocket to a few inches below the pocket. These jeans were purchased at Kohls less than a year ago and have only been worn 4-5 times.

I have been a long customer of Levis 505 jeans. I have several pairs that the beltloops have come loose at the bottom of the loop. I have to tuck the broken loop under my belt. I can say I'm very unhappy with Levis jeans.

The last 4 pairs of 550 2022/2023 $50 38/34 the belt loops pulled loose after very little wearing. It is the 2 that do not attach to the other seam area. They need to add reinforcement to those area. Looks like this issue has been going on for years by all of the comments.
