About this Style

Our 551™ Z Authentic Straight pays tribute to our first-ever pre-shrunk jeans. True to the original, they feature signature stitching one inch away from the seams and a wider J-stitch at the fly. Stacking at the hem and a distinct “anti-fit”—a slightly looser cut that stands in opposition to slimmer and skinnier styles in the seat—make these vintage-inspired jeans the perfect pair for the skatepark. Think of these as the holy grail of thrift store finds, minus the hunt.

  • The original relaxed fit, introduced in 1985
  • A distinct "anti-fit" with a slightly looser cut in the seat
  • Designed to be worn stacked at the hem
  • True to the original, it features unique stitching details
  • Finished with intentional staining inspired by our archives
  • Relaxed Through The Seat And Thigh
  • Sits at your waist
  • Straight leg
  • Front rise: 11 1/2", Knee: 18", Leg Opening: 16 1/4", Measurements based on size 32.

Godawful Quality Control

3 years ago
I've been wearing reguar 550s for years so I thought I would try the 551Z. The pants were labeled 32x32 same size I always buy. I was expecting them to be the same or a bit looser. NOT! I could barely get them up and when I did my ankles were showing. I measured with a tape measure - 31x30. Thank Christ I'm a red tab member with free shipping and returns because I return about half of what I buy because of QC issues. I rarely get the same thing twice. Too bad because I liked the feel of the denim on this particular pair. It was very soft. Please try to do better. Whenever I get what I order, it's like hitting the lottery. I guess that's why I keep ordering - every once in awhile I get a winner.

Not true to size.

3 years ago
I bought these online last month and was hoping that Levis were going back to their original sizes that I used to wear in my teens and 20's. I'm a 34 x 32 in every other pair of jeans, but I found myself struggling to get Levis in shops past my calves, never mind my thighs. Seemed skinny jeans were all they did. I was hoping that the 551Z would remedy this, however, it has only moved the issue upwards. While the jeans go on ok and are roomy in the thigh and calf, when closed and zipped up, I can't get my hands into the pockets? I'd also prefer some stretch to the denim. This feels quite dry and rigid. Unfortunately, I'll have to return these, but I don't know if I like them enough to go for a bigger size.

I bought them and returned them. Although they felt great. The loose fit isn't my style and Levi's couldn't tailor the 551 into a 511 without extensive work to the jean.

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!

Ridiculous size mismatch.

2 years ago
I have been losing weight and every couple of months had to buy new jeans. 38 to 36 to 34 and now on 32s. I figured out not to buy more than one pair until I'm sure that I can wear them. I wore the same pair of 32/30 jeans for about a week, decided that they fit, and bought another pair. The second pair is a joke. I can barely get my legs in them. I did a comparison to the ones that I am currently wearing (the exact same jeans other than color). The new ones have a waist that is at least 1.5" shorter, and the legs are about 1" shorter. I bought another pair and will donate these to the Good Will. But for crying out loud ...

Worst Levi's ever!

2 years ago
Both pairs of jeans I received were were the lowest quality Levis I've ever seen Both pairs had the legs shorted with a low quality hem job 1" from the bottom of the leg. Both pairs came with large orange stains in the front pocket area on both left and right sides. I do like the style of the jeans but the low low quality really saddens me as I've been wearing Levi's for over 50 years.

Beautiful but bad denim

3 years ago
The denim looks beautiful. It is not flat black but black with the texture of classic denim. However it rips apart immediately. First my jeans ripped from the back pockets as other people have mentioned here. I sewed them and then they finally ripped from the crotch in a way that cannot be fixed. I have to throw them now. I have never had this happening and I have been wearing Levi's my whole life.

Broke quite fast. I’m disappointed

3 years ago
This is how my pants lokkes after a floorball match with my kids (4 years Old). Obviously not a rough match. And quite frustrating to buy these expensive pants only to see them split in such a manner. I guess the two horses in the logo would have no issue tearing these pants apart.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Look Good but Poor Quality

4 years ago
Was given these as a gift, they split along the back pocket seam in one of the first few uses. Levis replaced them, and now a few months later the replacement pair has also split along the front seam below the zip. The jeans were correctly sized and weren't worn heavily. As much as I like how they look I can't recommend them due to their awful quality.
