Where this number comes from. GreenSpecs scores the evidence a product puts in front of you: the wording of the claim, what the packaging discloses, and whether an independent certifier stands behind any of it. Each score is a GreenSpecs assessment generated by our scoring model from the product label and public claim text on the date shown. It is not a laboratory test, not a lifecycle assessment, and not a safety rating. The full method is published here.
What does the Levi's 505 Regular Stretch Jeans label actually prove?
A conventional choice. The brand has better options. It scores 40 out of 100 — grade C- — across the five signals below.
| Signal | Score | What it asks |
|---|---|---|
| Claim specificity | 5/20 | Is the claim measurable, or a mood? |
| Transparency | 4/20 | Does the pack disclose enough to check it? |
| Third-party proof | 10/20 | Has an independent certifier verified it? |
| Impact where it counts | 10/20 | Does the claim address this category's real footprint? |
| Marketing honesty | 11/20 | Is the packaging language straight with you? |
What the claim genuinely covers
- Classic, durable design.
What it leaves out
- No visible certified materials or eco-processing.
Worth knowing
- While Levi's has broader sustainability efforts, this specific pair of jeans doesn't show any of those benefits on its label.
What to look for on this shelf
- Look for jeans made with organic or recycled cotton next time.
- Wash jeans less often and in cold water to extend their life.
Better swaps
- Seek out jeans with GOTS-certified organic cotton, or those from brands with verified repair programs like Nudie Jeans.
