Poor Levi's quality

<br> This is to reinforce / confirm the complaint made by LessingT of Cape Town. In the past 2 to 3 years the quality of Levi's jeans has plummeted. I have bought perhaps 6 pairs of 511 jeans and 4 pairs have fallen apart, either at the crotch or at the back pockets. I haven't returned them so can't complain about service, but am curious as to why a brand built on exceptional quality has allowed its name to be so badly damaged. <br> <br> In addition, the jeans seem to be made in several different countries, but the ones that fall apart so badly are all made in South Africa, unfortunately. <br>
