About this deal

These are probably my number one overall choice, all things considered (style, comfort, etc.). Levi’s 512 Slim Taper All jeans are listed according to the actual waist measurement, NOT the tag size. We always take our own detailed measurements to ensure a good fit. This metric refers to how the jeans sit around your waist and/or hips. Unlike the metrics above, this one can be categorize in one of just two ways (though there is slight variation from style to style): low and regular – though Levi’s does not specifically use these terms. Instead, they opt for more complicated descriptors. For instance, low is equivalent to “hangs on the hips,” whereas regular is “worn below the waist,”“sits low on the waist,” or has no qualifying description at all. This will also determine room in the crotch area, as low rise jeans tend to have less room than regular, as they can’t be hiked up as high – though some have compensated for this with a larger seat area. This metric is certainly the most difficult to define. Leg Opening It’s also necessary to understand what, exactly, the metrics mean when choosing jeans – be that from Levi’s or another denim brand. As such, we’d like to outline some of the terms that define the jeans, how you wear them, their look, and their feel. While the styles differ from number to number within Levi’s system (without any apparent rhyme or reason as to how they are numbered), you can always look to the following criteria to determine exactly what you’re getting out of any pair of Levi’s jeans. Just keep in mind that these are not the only determining factors, as sizes also vary depending upon seat size, leg opening, and more. Fit Fit is the most important to look at because—as the name suggests— it gives you a feel for the overall fit of the jeans. Levi's typically uses three different fits: slim, regular, and relaxed.

Rise refers to how high the jeans come up on your waist and hip. It is measured from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. Leg Compared to the 501s, I actually slightly prefer the 505s as they feel just a tab bit more tapered through the leg, despite Levi’s description of 505s being roomier than 501s. My Recommendations These items are in Grade A USED condition, but they may have minor wear and tear, such as small marks, slight fraying to hems and seams, and slight fading. This 170-year-old denim manufacturer has more customers now than ever before, which is why they offer so many different styles of jeans. To men, these are pretty similar to 531 athletic slims but have a slightly better leg shape because they have more taper from the thigh down the ankle. Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper Jeans

Leg

For me, they have maybe even too much taper below the knee, at least before hemming. Levi’s 512 Slim Taper For heftier gents, I’d recommend the 541s. These have plenty of room in the hips and thighs, but still offer a nice gentle taper down through the leg. Honestly, I’m not a fan of the silhouette overall of these pants. They almost look like their boot cuts. I don’t know who these are for; as it’s not a flattering style in my opinion. Levi’s 531 Athletic Slim Leg refers to the overall fit of the pant legs. A slim leg would hug your thighs and legs, while a straight leg would skim your figure. You'll often boyfriend jeans described as having a relaxed leg. Leg Opening I’d wear these jeans cuffed because cuffing helps create a clean drape and looks pretty good (if you like the roomier silhouette). Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper

The images above are not exact; due to the vintage nature of the jeans, colour wash and wear will vary. Similar to 513, the waist is a little looser; and I could probably size down to 28 in this cut, though if I were going for a looser fit, I’d consider these. Trying on a pair of 505s I didn’t notice much difference from the 501s. If you look at 505s side-by-side with 501s, both cuffed, they’re very similar. These fit at your waist, have extra room in the thigh, and have a straight leg. Levi’s 505 Regular Jeans Growing up, a lot of the men I looked up to dressed well. My dad is always clean-shaven and makes sure that he looks presentable before heading out the door, and my grandfather, who owned and operated a dairy farm, usually wore work pants with a sharp crease and a button-up work shirt.”

Let’s see how each pair looks, starting with the slimmest fit and working our way up: Levi’s 510 Skinny And while it’s nice to have options — slim, skinny, original, athletic taper — it can be hard to choose the best fit for your body, especially if you haven’t tried them all on for yourself. I do like the shape of the leg, though, especially below the knee. If I was keeping these, I’d get them hemmed for slight or no break, and I might also size up to 30 waist

Ryan has also spent more time in a suit and tie than most guys, so he's well qualified to write about classic menswear, business casual and formalwear.s sit at your waist and are skinny throughout. They have a nice silhouette but, for me, are uncomfortably tight in hips and seat. You can see some pulling across the front of my hips. Levi’s 510 Skinny Jeans If I wanted to experiment with looser fits, I’d try the 531 Athletic Slim and wear them cuffed for that nice clean drape. Next, we have Levi’s 531s. These are designed to sit below your waist and be slim from hip to ankle. Levi’s 501s have a long and storied history. This old-school fit has these jeans sitting at your waist, roomy in the thigh, and with a straight leg. Levi’s 501 Original

I’m hoping this article and companion video saves you some time for having to try on every cut, and maybe help you narrow it down to two or three styles to test out yourself.I don’t hate the look, though, especially if they were hemmed up an inch or two and they are much more comfy than the 510s. While not ideal for me, these jeans would be my top recommendation for bigger guys looking for fitted but comfy Levi’s. Levi’s 501 Original Now, let’s move on to somewhat looser cuts with the 513. 513s sit below your waist and slim through the seat and thigh and have a straight leg. Levi’s 513 Slim Straight Jeans These jeans are a pretty substantial jump from the 510s in terms of room through hips and legs, but the waist doesn’t feel much different, though.
