I still own and wear my special release factory-dyed purple 501s that I bought as a teenager in 1987. I'll be turning 53 this year, and yes, they still fit just barely- they were one size too big when I bought them. The buttonholes are slightly frayed, there is now a tiny threadbare patch on the "knife pocket" (that's what we used to call those little pockets back in the day), and one thread in the fabric on one of the legs has frayed. That is the extent of wear, after 36 years of myself, my wife, and for a couple of years my little brother wearing them at least once every week or two. I wouldn't buy a new pair of Levis- the quality is absolutely awful. The only jeans I've bought recently that are as good as 30+ year old Levis were from the clearance rack at a store I'm not going to name (not the one that begins with W!), and they cost me $6.00 per pair. They don't even have a brand name, and were made in South-East Asia. They are almost perfect knock-offs of Levis 505s from thirty years ago, heavy denim and all. The retail price was originally $10.00, which means Levis could easily still have the same quality and remain profitable. It gives me no pleasure to say this- I've worn Levis all my life. But being cheated will make anyone angry eventually, and Levis company leadership will apparently have to learn that lesson the hard way, which makes me sad and disgusted. P.S.: Kudos to whoever chose the music; I have no idea who the artist is, but that song is pretty good...
After many years with several pairs of jeans from a variety of brands i've come to the conclusion that if you want a nice heavy duty pair of jeans to work and play in you have to make them yourself (with a sewing machine)
I wore Levi's for decades, and noticed a quality problem and crotch holes. I mended my Levi's by buying a thicker fabric brand. Whadya know? They cost less.
things that last are out the window, major brand may have begun with a higher standard, business is a single track machine profit margin & this model is followed by mom n pips too. Companies outside doing things better, eventually get sucked up by a conglomerate & whatever it is soon is only the brand name & the product becomes something less, like Red Top batteries. The stream of all products is pretty narrow.
language, McDonald's probably employees a master chef...all major brands spend more on marketing craps vs making things right to begin with. the golden arches could reinvent the way people eat AGAIN, this time with real nutritional food. Very few food related places are any better than McD's. Find one that does not use words like best quality available, all natural, natural. The food stream is pretty narrow & we are all eating the same junk. Ensuring future medical needs & assisted living at the end, all because we wanted fake food for cheap.

What is this song?! I've searched the lyrics to no luck. I even Shazam'd it and that didn't give me anything. Was this song made specifically for this jean repair video??? What's the deal?!
Bought some levis for $80 at urban outfitters with holes already in them. Wore them one time and can't wear them again because they ripped soooo easily. nice
Man, I need a wife with these SKILLS! Those looks are just a bonus. came here to see if I could do it by myself. Conclusion = buy new jeans or call a tailor......
that has nothing to do with thick thighs it's just general wear and tear, i have a hole in my favorite pair from how often i wore em.... haven't thrown em away cause i plan on learning how to fix em.
Why bother? when I was a teen in the 80's we purposefully made holes...it was such that companies like Levi's started 'distressing' the jeans at the factory and charged extra!
It's absolutely nauseating trying to follow along with all these needless jump cuts. Quit screwing around. You didn't make a tutorial at all. This is an ad.
My Levi jeans have never ripped and I wear them throughout all seasons. I'd bet they can last another 5+ years. Maybe I just have good luck in finding decent quality pairs. One things for sure, never buy them online, always go for the store.

I had the acid-washed green ones, and I wore red Caprizo Oxfords (shoes) with a white shirt and a skinny red leather tie!
how about a tutorial on how to repair a blown out crotch area haha, seriously though... need that tutorial.
I agree completely, the crotch in those jeans was going let's see them fix that.

How about a toutorial on how to make high quality jeans that lasts longer than a few months?
Put in your wardrobe.
less washing & air dry, my friend does not place her good items in a dryer, all the lint was your clothes, air dry = no lint
jeans wear out, washing them def does, clean is nice, yes each wash & they are a little less

Live in LEVI'S
Love with LEVI'S
So simple. Thanks very much
I was thinking about giving away like 10 pairs of old baggy levi's that I don't use anymore. Stupid idea. lol. Thanks for this Video!!! :)
I wore Levi's for decades, and noticed a quality problem and crotch holes. I mended my Levi's by buying a thicker fabric brand. Whadya know? They cost less.
Yeah that always happens to me as well !
Same here. I buy no names now Better quality and lasting longer.
levi's & diesel are about the cut & the look, durability is not necessarily good quality. If you enjoy looking like a box
@@crypttonite That may be but those of us who are older knew Levi jeans as being both good looking and long lasting.

Forget the music and explain what you are doing.
the song is sick though lol
@@RadicalR0nnie ¿por que bro?

Master tailor for this :)) that was nice..

How to maintain the faux leather label Levi Strauss on the back of belt which hardens and fades from being worn washed..
I like this. Thank you

I recently saw a Levi's video where they intentionally put holes in jeans. This seems like a much better idea.
I love Levi's
I LIVE IN LEVIS

Wah skor levis 👍
LOVE YOUR JEANS LEVI'S keep up the good work !
This is fantastic! Thank you Levis!

how do you repair the levis jeans in retail that already have holes as a design? is it a 511-DIY variant?
Muy triste pero Ordinario...pero lo del Bolsillo muy profesional excelente .
Good jeans in the video and deserve a try, while also welcome to try the custom perfect fit jeans online Amazon. It's cheap and high-qualty.
How we get that fabric????
I love my destroyed Levi's 🖤

Hey guys!

Thanks

In my opinion, that it's implied...
youre stupid. your life is a game.
you can darn over a hole with proper equipment, more or less "adding denim back" so shut the fuck up *dipshit*
Great video plzz tell me about your sewing machine
Hi Landon - thanks for the love. What would you like to know?
I was just asking about the name of the sewing machine :)
The opening shot in the video includes a Zig Zag, model #107W1. The alterations performed in the video are done with a Juki lockstitch machine.
Thank you :) Today I bought the Levis 501s its great :D
Awesome - hope you enjoy your jeans!
¿como se llama la cancion de fondo?
Nice
What is this song?! I've searched the lyrics to no luck. I even Shazam'd it and that didn't give me anything. Was this song made specifically for this jean repair video??? What's the deal?!

@@Luna-wo9oxThanks so much. I can’t wait to find this song!

Yo mama by yo mama
Claro!!! como tengo una maquina para coser
Wear and tear just adds character??? OK, but after just one year??? This video would be obsolete if Levi-'s made better Jeans...
Man, I need a wife with these SKILLS! Those looks are just a bonus. came here to see if I could do it by myself.
Conclusion = buy new jeans or call a tailor......
Name of the song?
501 is the best
REALLY the patch should be on outside and match it to the color of your jeans i know i done it before almost unnoticeable
Forget everything. Where do you even get staright fit these days
I have a pair.
Song name?
so yeah you sell jeans with holes and then you show ppl how to repair it
Adr805 pre ripped jeans are beyond retarded
is it bad that I’m using denim from a pair of Levi’s to repair my Wranglers? lol
Nope. I have an old pair from my middle school days that serves as my patch supply for all my jean patches.
Music ????
👍👍
She looks Lome the kind of girl that had the best stories
👏
Okay but what about crotch or inner thigh area for people with thick thighs 😭
that has nothing to do with thick thighs it's just general wear and tear, i have a hole in my favorite pair from how often i wore em.... haven't thrown em away cause i plan on learning how to fix em.
Well how about when there's a whole around where my dick is ay I bought a pair and it only last e months before my dick started showing itself
Chetan sir ka how to aprroch
Why bother? when I was a teen in the 80's we purposefully made holes...it was such that companies like Levi's started 'distressing' the jeans at the factory and charged extra!
Laura es hermosa!
Then why you selling ripped jeans?
It's absolutely nauseating trying to follow along with all these needless jump cuts. Quit screwing around. You didn't make a tutorial at all. This is an ad.
you sell them with holes and then people wanna repair them?
Costurera sin dedal cose poco y cose mal
My Levi jeans have never ripped and I wear them throughout all seasons. I'd bet they can last another 5+ years. Maybe I just have good luck in finding decent quality pairs. One things for sure, never buy them online, always go for the store.
I wouldn't repair the pocket
Hahaha too funny repairing
Now why can't levis still make jeans with that fit?
Hi there - are you looking for our 501 collection or another style?
They do
+Levi's® 501!
+John Ramirez I know they still make 501s but ones you buy at a store today don't fit like this.
The knee stiching is just stupid... Who would want to make their jeans like that better to have a hole
loose the music
It’s better
