I wouldn’t ordinarily think to question the integrity of my pants, but…
As long as Levi is bringing up honesty, I wonder how honest prefaded wrinkles are that make my new pants look used.

they must mean something by “honest” different from what you mean, haha
I wouldn’t trust your new pants. Keep an eye on ‘em.
Does that mean their other products are dishonestly made?
Woah. I wondered what kind of pictures I was in store for when I read the post title!
I’m sure you’re aware that, in the UK, ‘pants’ are what go underneath Levis.
For once, I’m mighty glad of the different meanings of certain words in our common language!
Ahhhhh!
Richard, I’ve finally experienced one of my great blogging fears.
See #3 in this post.
As long as the pants maker was honest then I think the pants will ‘follow suit’……. rim shot please!
A pair of pants that WON’T make you sick and kill you!
Well, the misplaced modifier might have been a clue… :)
Honesty in advertising and labeling should also include full disclosure. It’s very true that there’s “two scoops of raisins in a package of Kellogg’s Raisin Bran,” but alas, the raisins are all at the bottom.
I always think an ad angle like this just begs for a “naive letter” (w/SASE) to the manufacturer, asking them to explain how and why this line of jeans is honestly made. How do those jeans not “honestly made” differ?
Call me an old lady, but I really miss the days when new clothes looked new.
I was at in the young men’s department at Penneys once, looking for some Sunday pants for my teenage son. The salesperson asked if he could help me find anything. I asked whether they had anything that didn’t look like it had been dragged behind a truck. He thought a minute and then replied that, no, he didn’t think so.
I think we all need to start reading “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to our children again.
Paul,
Additionally, the scoops are likely much smaller than in years past.
abraham,
this is a funny post.
Years ago, after I had finished college, my mom and I were at the mall. She was insisting I needed new clothes.
After looking a American Eagle (which I now find myself not hip enough to shop at) she said “you’re right… you don’t need new clothes. All the clothes we saw had holes in them, just like yours!”
