Doesnt feel like a Selvedge Denim

a month ago
Poor quality and the denim is too soft , it is hard to cuff and its too long for 32 inseam. Not happy with the purchase unfortunately I cant return it as it was final sale. Not worth $200 plus for a Japanese made denim. I have other Japanese denim from levis and other brands which are way better in quality than this.

I would love to leave a glowing review, but my package is somewhere lost and no one can seem to help me get them. So I will wait until they arrive and maybe review then.

No longer a customer

I never received the Jeans, after the website side my order was processing and gave me a delivery day only to comeback and apologize for the inconvenience. I’ve had more than enough problems with Levi’s website and deliveries, I know I’ve spent at least 600$ but I’m no longer a customer after this issue.
