10 months ago purchased three pairs of 550's. Two pair have holes at the top of back pockets and ripped below the zipper. I disposed of the first ripped pair and now that the second pair ripped, thought that I should notify you. They were purchased at Mark's Work Wearhouse, Cornwall, ON, Canada We are in our 60's and have always wore Levi's. It is disappointing to experience the quality of Levi jeans have greatly diminished.
