Jake Slim Leg Jeans

I used to be a huge fan of Mavi. Have 6 pairs total in my closet. Not sure if its just an issue with the ones that the Rack is selling or a general decrease in quality overall, but the last few pairs I've ordered -- this one included -- have a number of issues. First: sizing is incredibly inconsistent now. I used to wear 29 waist across the board, but now I've ordered 31s that fit smaller than all of the 29s that I currently have. On top of that, it looks like Mavi has started cutting even more corners: the last four pairs I've ordered from the Rack all came with lopsided front belt loops. Mavi's generally retail at $100 or more. At that price, regardless of the discount, I expect things to be symmetrical at the least. I'm not even complaining about loose threads here (of which there were plenty).
