Thanks for your feedback, it's super important to us! We totally understand your frustration and we'll make sure to pass this along to the people who design our clothes. Sometimes, something as small as a difference in fabric treatment, finishing or fabric composition can affect the way something looks, fits and feels! The same is true for photos — we try to represent the true color as faithfully as possible, but sometimes slight changes in light can make a big difference! We're always working to make our products as consistent as possible, and represent them as faithfully as possible, so we'll definitely flag this one. We’re happy to hear that you took advantage of our return policy — that’s why we have one! And so you know, you can always find more information at https://help.levi.com/hc/en-us, or start a chat with us on the bottom right of the help center if you’d like further assistance!
