You may be smoking crack my friend, Levis are considered the gold standard of jeans and they’re rock solid… and their standard line isn’t even expensive.
He’s right: I use only 501s straight, and after a year at most the fabric between the thighs is very thin if not ripped (yes, I am chubby).
On the other side, I have an old pair of jeans of unknown maker dismissed from my uncle which I use weekly for yard work: ten years in my possession, unwashable stains, destroyed sockets, but the fabric is still perfect.
Just not the same quality that they used to be
