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
