The problem I have is that I have burned through many pairs of Levi’s in under a year of use for each pair. I’m not sure how long they’re supposed to last but that is my experience.

I don’t was my jeans, I wear them a couple days a week and let them sit for the other few days. I wash them about every 2 months (though washing does take a noticeable toll).

I’m not sure the “no true Levi’s” can apply to me however; I bought them from the official Levi’s store in Malmö.

Huh! Well, the other factors I can think of are body chemistry, and what you use to wash your clothes. I've got Levi's that are over a decade old, but the sweat from my wrists will erode the edge off a Macbook Pro in a couple of years. You win some, you lose some
