502s are always my Go-To

7 months ago
I have tried a lot of jeans in a lot of different fits. I keep coming back to the 502. I am a fairly slim guy but I bike and hike a lot so I have larger thighs. These are perfect. They are kind of between a slim and a straight fit. Slims tend to be too restrictive around my thighs and make anything in my pockets stand out too much. Straight fits are a little too baggy overall. These are essentially a straight fit (maybe slightly slimmer) at the top and a slim fit at the bottom. Perfect!

Qualité irréprochable

4 years ago
C’est la qualité Levis et on s’en lasse pas. Habitué au 501, la seule déception pour ce modèle est la fermeture éclair et non les boutons… la toile est épaisse donc serre un peu au début mais s’assouplit de plus en plus en le portant.

Sizing problem

3 years ago
Too short (expensive dungarees), and not entirely happy with their fit. I suppose I need to buy jeans at a physical store.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thanks for your feedback, it's super important to us! We’ll make sure it ends up in the right hands. We try to make a wide variety of fits for everyone — and we definitely recommend looking through our Men’s Jeans Guide and Women’s Jeans Guide to get all of the information you need about each one. And sometimes, something as small as a change in fabric treatment, finishing, or fabric composition can affect the way a pair of jeans fits. And of course, each pair of jeans will fit everyone a little differently! So you know, we have a 60-day return policy if you’re not satisfied with your product. You can always call us at 1-800- 872-5384 or start a chat with us in the “Ask Indigo” box on the bottom left of your screen if you’d like further assistance!

Degrading Quality 502 Taper Denim

4 months ago
I ordered two pair of 502 taper mens jeans in April 2025. Love both pairs. Some of my favorites. So I ordered another two pair in December 2025 and am deeply disappointed in the obvious drop in quality. The December pair are much roomier, oversized I’d say, and are much stretchier. They just look and feel cheap by comparison to the pairs I bought earlier in the year at a lower price.

They're fine

2 years ago
They're fine, I guess. The taper is pretty slim compared to the non-premium. Denim is a better quality, but I prefer the fit of the cheaper one. It's too late now, but I wish I'd sent these back.

too low rise

Need a taper fit much like this that sits at the waist. Would be much more comfortable. And need 28" length in stock. None of the mens seem to be in stock at that length. 5'6" 155#
