The Levi's from the online store last a lot longer than the department store ones.

the 501 is still a decent jean.

Agreed, but they have gotten a lot more flimsy even in the last 15ish years. In the area I live there are stores that sell old denim and the price is the same as buying new, but the quality is noticeably higher.

ah sad, tbh I haven't been in a store in years.
