The bid was not immediately obvious that there is a foreign party, the (supposedly) only buys its goods in the United States, with corresponding week long lead time. But the customer service of the provider was quick and friendly in communication, presupposes, however, that you can read and write English. After the pants were finally here, I was initially a bit skeptical because of the red flag just a copyright sign was not "Levis" lettering. But everything else was true (eg hidden, small double seam on top button), so I'm assuming that the pants are genuine. Anyway fits and sits them super, quality is good, price is also top.
