It seems certain blue jeans makers have lost their way, and as I wear a pair over the week, they get looser and looser. Adding these buttons is a good way to keep the jeans fitting as the pants loosen up (I don't wear belts or suspenders--can't stand them). The only reason they don't get a "5" is that they could use a more secure lock-up. I've had a few that gave out prematurely (I get a lot of these at a time).
