We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch with us. At Levi's, we know that even the slightest changes in fabric treatment and finishing can impact the way our jeans fit. The same goes for even the tiniest shift in fabric composition. While we strive to keep our fits as consistent as possible, we understand that sometimes these changes can affect your experience with our products. We're always working to improve and perfect our jeans so that you can enjoy the best possible fit. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention! Marion, Levi's Customer Support.
