So I think you’re gonna want to go with Levi premium, this is only available online or in an actual Levi outlet stores.
The numbers like 501, 511 or whatever never indicate quality and only indicate design specifications
Levi Strauss is what you usually find in something like Walmart stores, and is partially polyester. Levi original is the next step and that’s at like Macy’s and other department stores. Levi’s shrink to fit is raw denim, but hard to find nowadays most likely at an Levi outlet as well. $50-$100
Premium is right above the middleground, better quality denim and sewing work.
Then there is Levi’a Made and Crafted / Levi Japan / Blue Tab(high quality denim and uses the originally indigo dye for the jeans) about $300+
Lastly Vintage is recreated versions of their ancient jeans, similar in quality to Levi Japan.
Levis still makes those jeans, but they’re really expensive.
And they suck
Did they go up recently? I’ve been getting 501s for like $50 all my life, but haven’t had to buy any in like 10 years because they last forever.
Yes, everything has gotten more expensive over the last 10 years, in case you haven’t noticed.
That’s generally what happens
I think he is talking about their high end lines with tougher denim
Which lines are those? I’d be willing to drop some money if they were to last longer.
