About this Style

Our 512™ Slim Taper sits at the sweet spot between a skinny and a regular taper. These jeans are part of our most versatile family of fits and are a go-to for every occasion. As you probably guessed from the name, they feature a slim fit through the thigh that tapers down to the ankle. The end result? A seemingly tailor-made pair of jeans you can style any which way.

  • Similar waist, seat and thigh as our 511™ but with a slimmer leg

Timely response!

***JENNIFER M GETS ALL THE CREDIT, MANAGERS PAY ATTENTION. MAKE SURE SHE HEARS THIS AS YOU'VE GOT A GOOD ONE*** I had a defect in my jeans and I was worried that it wasn't going to be covered. I submitted my claim and within 48 hours (INCLUDING A WEEKEND) I had a response and a decision was made. That was the most impressive thing. I didn't expect a response that fast, but I was given a credit for the online shop. There was a sale going on at the time so my size was sold out. I ordered them a week later and they arrived withing 72 hrs. I've recently told anyone who will listen to me about it. Most fortunate 500 companies wouldn't honour that, not Levi's. You have a customer for life now.

Bad return policy

3 months ago
I have a few pairs of these and they fit nicely, but, I would like to express displeasure at the return policy. The sales emails I have been getting lately all say final sale and no returns. In the past I’ve found that all pants do not fit exactly alike. So I won’t be purchasing anything else until that policy changes.

Lack of consistency in sizing

a year ago
Most of my other 512 washes fit wonderfully, but these were incredibly baggy on me. Unfortunately, I took the tags off without thinking so when I took them to a local Levi's shop to exchange for a different pair, they wouldn't accept them (even though I brought the tags with me). The manager suggested washing and drying them but even after that, they're still too baggy. It looks like I'm stuck with a $100 pair of jeans that won't fit until I'm much older and fatter.

Skin tight - YIKES

2 years ago
I thought these were what I was looking for based on the description. After I tried them on it was a hard no. The waist fits fine. But from there down these are absolutely skin tight. I actually tried on Levi's skinny jeans before they and they offered more room in the thighs and below the knee than these. Not comfortable at all.
