Tricia, glad to hear good feedback about the Levi's.

The NYDJ, while I liked the fit, the fabric seemed really thin. Since I have never owned a pair, only tried them on that is the best I could go by. After getting the Levi's and seeing how thick the fabric is compared to the NYDJ, I'm glad I did not buy the NYDJ's.

I will have to see how they hold up after washing. I usually wash all my jeans in cold water and air dry so they keep their color.
