Michael, they are fraying at most folds of the seams now, like on the pockets.
The other jeans are showing a little wear but nothing like this. These were
bought in mid-September.

A neighbor gave me a bunch of Levis that her daughter had outgrown and I wore
those for years. A couple of pairs are still wearable, but they became
painting pants.
My fashionable friend swears by Gap jeans (and he looks great in them).I have
recently ordered some jeans from Nordstrom's online but they haven't arrived
yet. So many places sell hip-hugger bell bottom jeans now and I really don't
want to go back there.

Foley's is sending me a receipt in the mail that I can take back to the store.
I don't really want to go back to that store. Like a dummy, I bought the pants
with a new Foley's credit card I opened at check-out, as I'd get 10% off my
purchase. No more store credit cards for me! There would have been no
question if I had used my Mastercard. I think I'm SOL.

I can always go back to LLBean, although my fashionable friend never liked the
clothing I bought from them. Good customer service and good quality.

And absolutely NO HASSLE for returns. Now you know how important
that can be!

I have never had to return anything from them. My latest purchase was the
vintage flannel nightgown. The pictures don't do it justice. It has yards of
material, all that cosy flannel. They say:"Extra-long placket with front and
back pin-tucked bodice." It will be comfy for this long winter. It looked
like an okay item on their website but it is really lovely - I really like it!
