Why Levi's jeans quality is very poor?
I do 501s for baggy with Air Force ones and American eagle boot cut for boots. I wish they made 501s material and color in normal non baggy for boots. I just looked at my arab neighbor mofo can rock slacks with a dress shirt and Stacy Adam’s like a mofo un tucked lol. 😂

Brands That Used to Be BIFL — But Aren't Anymore?
All cotton 501s all the way. I buy them to have some faded pairs I can’t get through raw denim. But if I’m going to start a raw pair then I’m looking at Naked and Famous in Canada.

501 STFs are still the best deal in jeans imo, short of the Wrangler 13MWZ

You just need to buy non-stretch version 501s. Anything with elastic is going to be less tightly stitched and will wear out sooner.

Levi's 501 are now half off, are they still good quality or they're not worth it?
The Shrink-to-Fit 501s are great

Men’s jeans recommendations that arent’t stretchy or excessively baggy?
Go with the original Levi's 501 shrink-to-fit, but beware! Since all their manufacturing has moved outside the US, things aren't quite as great. Most notably, they have issues that manage to make it past QC and out into the wild. So, when you get 'em (or when you buy 'em retail or the like), inspect the sh\*t out of 'em, 'cause their QC isn't doing a good job on that anymore. But if all went fine on the manufacturing, then you're good. Yeah, here's some of the sh\*t I've seen that has made it past their QC since they've gone to 100% non-US manufacturing/assembly ... fortunately all of which can be easily caught with a good close careful inspection (which Levi's ought be doing themselves, but can no longer be counted on for that): * missing belt loop(s) * mis-sewn seams (carefully check all, inside and out, and that both rows of sewing landed properly on the fabric bits, and all the relevant fabric edges properly tucked, etc.) * errors on rivets and riveted buttons (make sure they're all on full and squarely and properly riveted, no partials or edges sticking out where they shouldn't be, none missing or popped off, etc.) * though I've not run into it, I'd strongly suggest good thorough inspection for anything else one could find, e.g. make sure all the pocket are there and properly swen, proper symmetry, size, sewn on labels, fabric consistency, etc. But once well made though a proper QC (one's own, not Levi's QC, which has gone to sh\*t), then you're golden. And if it doesn't pass, just exchange or return (done that many times now, I typically find errors on about 17% of their shipped product).
