Must have bought prewashed. Everyone assumes that all new jeans are thinner than they used to be. Levis in particular have always used 12-14 oz denim. Shrink to fits and prewashed start out the same, but by the time the prewashed undergo the enzyme processes and faux finishing, they end up being lighter.
I assure you that raw shrink to fit 501s are still heavy. |

Wranglers do,have really nice denim, pretty thick.
The only problem for me is they just don't fit me right. I have absolutely no ass and it looks like a family of 4 moved out of my jeans with Wranglers

Quoted:

I purchased two pair of Levis back in June of last year from Amazon for casual wear. They lasted 4-5 months of casual use. Garbage.
I have a few pair of USA made Carharrt that are probably 4 to 5 years old and still wearable. |

Back during the Clinton regime I sent them an e-mail voicing my disapproval of their contributions to the "Brady Bunch". I was shocked to receive an actual personal reply, but basically we agreed to disagree. I promised them then that they would never make another dime off of me and I keep my promises.

My 514 rigid selvedge is around 11-12oz denim. Good for hotter days. I have some 14.5oz denim and that shit gets hot.
FWIW, the original Levi's from the 1890s were 9oz. Wrangler 13MWZ if you want inexpensive quality jeans. |
