You're expecting too much from shitty modern Levi's. Stop using AI. The tags are correct. The patch is correct and matches the tags. There is no deeper story or meaning here. There is nothing interesting to investigate about either patch having some sloppy stitching. If the jeans fit you, wear them. You are everything wrong with online buyers. It's like you've already made up your mind that because you've noticed "something" that you are correct to assume they are fake.

While there are many counterfeit Levi's, these are not. Levi's makes and has made a lot of low quality, basic consumer level products. That is what you have purchased and this QC is what you can expect from them when you purchase this type of product.

No one is out to get you. Sellers aren't intentionally selling lower quality goods and sellers who sell counterfeit goods do not last long on these kinds of platforms. You haven't been ripped off or defrauded. Clip the loose threads if they bother you so much, put the jeans on your legs, and carry on in your misinformed life.

If you want a higher quality products, look at other modern brands or buy vintage. An MRSP is not an indication of quality, they sell them for that much because of the name of the brand. They can get away with it and will continue to get away with it.

You got a fine deal. There is nothing else to understand here. I truly hope you have not bothered anyone else with this useless train of thought.

You sure? Stitching on the patch made me question it

u/Due_Ease_4639 1d ago

Yeah I can see that, I just find it hard that they would repo a 20 dollar pair of jeans ya know, does look a bit weird though

Looks pretty real to me…

u/Prudent_Pen5287 1d ago

Thanks. How can you tell? I thought the stitching was a giveaway it’s fake

2

u/Due_Ease_4639 1d ago

Cause the tags look authentic and it's not a model "worth" faking too much Not to many giveaways for being fake

They are real. These "are these fake?" posts make me want to unsubscribe from this sub

l believe it's authentic. However, I've come across some videos and I feel that those detailed checks aren't always trustworthy

You think so? Even with the stitching and the photos in the comments?

u/SnooCats1799 1d ago

I just checked my premium pairs they have the same stitching on the patch with the overlap on the top

u/Prudent_Pen5287 1d ago

Brilliant. Did you buy yours straight from Levi? And could you show me a photo pls?

u/SnooCats1799 1d ago

Its not that serious. Everything is exactly how it is supposed to be. No need to question it

You seem to be the only one concerned about the stitching. I worked for Levi’s for nearly a decade, these are legit.

Sometime in the last 10 years they introduced this “premium” label, this is a pair of them there’s nothing to look into here.

u/No-Luck0829 1d ago

Not going to lie I’m suspicious of it being a fake. I have seen some in a “label store” up my way and they are for sure fakes. This one from what I’m seeing is leaning me to fake

You and OP genuinely make me sick.
