Hi, Loyal Levi’s Fan! Thanks so much for reaching out. Sometimes, something as small as a change in fabric treatment, finishing, or even color can affect the way a pair of jeans fits! So can a slight change in the composition of the fabric. We're always working to make our fits as consistent as possible, so we'll definitely flag this one. So you know, we have a 30 day exchange policy where you can exchange your item(s) for a different size, free of charge**. Please visit our Help Center for more information if you have any more questions: free shipping and Returns for Red TabTM Members. Sign up here or check and see if you’re already a Member.

Hi, Loyal Levi’s Fan! Thanks so much for reaching out. We try our best to make sure all of our product meets or exceed expectations–and we’re sorry we missed the mark here. We totally understand your frustration and appreciate the chance to make it better. Our designers carefully consider every detail when designing something, and every choice they make is for a reason, whether they’ve got functionality in mind, are responding to what customers are asking for — like extra stretch — or are following their inspiration. That being said, everyone has their own preferences and we understand that! We also offer a Premium Quality line that may better suit your needs. Levi's US Customer Service
