Levi's - please revisit your 505 redesign
Add me to the list of folks giving 1 star to what was a 5 star product, and I'll be returning these. The denim and construction are as good as ever, the fit is not as comfy but probably acceptable, belt loops also a step in the wrong direction - but inch and a half shorter pockets? Are you mad? Jeans are supposed to be practical, and decent pockets for guys to carry stuff in has always been part of that. In particular, I've always kept my phone in a front pocket, since I don't like cracked screens, and my regular (not plus) iPhone 6 just barely fits now. Phones are getting bigger, not smaller, and I don't think I'm unusual in not carrying my phone in a back pocket.
Levi's, if you're listening - I have literally never bought another brand of jeans since the late 60's - and that was growing up in Ireland where they were harder to find and a bit pricy. I intend to see if I can find one of your styles that is close to the 505 but with proper pockets, if not I guess I'll break down and try another brand. And let me know if you intend to revisit this 505 redesign and right the wrongs.
