Why Levi's jeans quality is very poor?
The thing about Levi's is that they are one of the if not the biggest mens workwear brands in terms of market segmentation. You can buy a really terrible pair of 505s for $40, a decent pair for $100, a selvedge pair for $130 or a japanese denim pair for $250, this is all visible on their [website at any time](https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/men/jeans/straight/c/levi_clothing_men_jeans_straight/facets/feature-fit_name/505%e2%84%a2), but there is probably even more segmentation they're doing in terms of outlets and stuff that gets even cheaper and worse made that isn't visible directly on the website. IMO if they want to retain their brand value there should be a stronger notion of what the 'standard' brand spec 505 is that people should be evaluating, but it's also sort of strange to me that people buy a $40 pair of jeans and think they are going to be high quality just because they're Levi's, when Levi's is explicitly selling them to you as the cheapest, most fast fashion, worst version of the 505 design they could pay someone else to produce.

Best Workwear Brand?
Levi's 505s I buy 2 pairs a year at about $30. They have definitely gone down in quality over the years and they are hot in the summer but I don't think there is a pair of pants out there that would last me a year for $60. I also like that they dont look like work clothing.

Men’s Jeans Recommendations
I just went through this same issue. 100% cotton seems to be the pick. I switched to all cotton 505’s and wrangler 47mwz’s. It is a switch going to a straight leg from a slim but I do feel more comfortable overall. The cotton feels better. We’ll see how long these all last.
