I've had the same with LLBean recently. Plus, the fabric is not as nice as it once was & shows wear quickly. I've noticed that the construction isn't as good. Maybe outsourced to an even cheaper place overseas?

I HATE BUYING JEANS. I'm the one with 20 pairs in the dressing room, swearing under my breath. Every one gaps in the back. I'd love to have a pair of nice fitting jeans but unless I make them, it ain't going to happen.
