I'm not sure those are comparable.

Comparing almost boutique level jeans made in the U.S. with mass produced Levi's made elsewhere doesn't help us determine price differences in off-shoring vs. manufacturing in the U.S.

I think what we would need to know is how much would a pair of Levi's cost if all of them were produced in the United States.

tl;dr: What is, isn't necessarily what could be.
