Finding jeans that actually fit properly shouldn’t be such a rare event, but here we are. The 511 Slim just gets the basics right, which sounds obvious until you’ve spent an afternoon in the changing rooms wondering why every other pair either bags at the knee or cuts off circulation to your calves. It’s slim through the thigh and tapered at the ankle, without tipping into proper skinny jean territory. Sits somewhere between the roomier 505 and the tighter 510, so you get a close cut that still lets you sit on the Tube, cycle to work, or climb the stairs at the station without your jeans staging a protest. There’s a bit of give in the fabric so it moves with you through the day, but it doesn’t stretch out and go baggy by the second pint at the pub. Even after a run through the washing machine on a grey Sunday, they come out holding their shape rather than looking tired. They work with a decent jumper and boots for the office, or trainers and an old jacket for the weekend. Equally fine for a rainy commute or a weekend away, which matters given the weather here. Nothing showy about them, nothing that needs explaining. Just a well made pair of jeans that does what it’s meant to, wash after wash, month after month.

This are the most comfortable pants I’ve ever had. They fit perfectly and stretch/move with the body. I’m very pleased with the wash (color) appearance and style. Great quality all around.

6 months ago I purchased 2 pairs of 511 from Market Mall location in Calgary the left rear both ripped as if the material was rotten or damaged some how! I patched them on the inside and continue to wear them. I have since purchased 2 more pairs from the Chinook location in Calgary.

These Levi’s 511 jeans fit. Perfectly and feel comfortable all day. The light wash looks great, and the denim feels durable yet soft to wear ……..
