These are SLIM jeans

2 years ago
So let’s start on a positive note, these jeans look great and are made of great quality material. Absolutely love the color and trading off the zipper for buttons is a nice touch! Unfortunately for me, Levi’s does tend to run on the smaller side and their size 42w is realistically more of a 38w.

Classic jeans and fit

2 years ago
The jeans are nice and are perfect for a night out on the town or handing with the crew. The fit is good, definitely no stretch in them. Also the color is great and goes with almost everything. Side note: got a different pair of jeans then one in the campaign but not a big deal at all.

Levi’s has always made quality jeans! These are super comfortable with a great fit. Only issue is the length was longer than expected for my height.

Almost Perfect Jeans

I love the cutting—it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve tried so many “tapered” jeans before, but they were never quite right. Unfortunately, the size runs small. I’m giving 3 out of 5 stars because of the sizing issue and the availablity to exchange. I’d love to exchange them, but sadly, my size isn’t available.

Great fit, awful color

a year ago
Maybe it's me, but these did not look much like the jeans in the picture. They looked extremely stonewashed and the whiskering was kind of sloppy. Shame, because I like the fit even better than my go-to 511s. Would love to see a pair of these in no-stretch dark indigo witih no whiskering.

What the heck?

2 years ago
The fit and color are great, but I was unaware that the jeans would be distressed to the point that the hems are ragged/torn. Normally I'd recycle them as rags if they looked this bad. Can't wear 'em as is. I guess that's what "Selvedge" means.

Okay

2 years ago
As someone who has a lot of jeans, I have to say this selvedge pair really missed the mark when it comes to quality control. Do the jeans have a good feel to the touch? I will say yes. Do they fit just right? I would say they are a little tight by maybe a quarter of an inch. My issue with the quality control as you can see from the hem in my picture.

Wierd fit

2 years ago
These jeans fit wierd compared to my regular 501, they feel some how looser and cheaper even though they are selvedge i have 3 pairs of 501 and these are the loosest, there is no taper in the thigh and my pair doesnt even say levis on the pocket tab its just red with a copyright logo. I bought them to beat them up but the denim feels like its going to be pretty fragile, pricing should be a lot lower for how these are in my opinion.

Love the Jean, Not The Size

2 years ago
These Jeans feel amazing! They are soft to the touch, yet durable for everyday wear. With all this being said though, sadly the size I ordered was not true to “normal” sizing. I ordered one size up from my regular Jean order, and sadly these still do not fit. This is sad because I would love to have added these to my wardrobe. Maybe someday I can add some Levi to my closet now knowing the sizing. (I received these complementary jeans from Levi in exchange for a review.)

Levi didn't post my last review

a year ago
Levi didn't publish my last review which I think is deceptive. I even added pics of the pants to show how false the claim that they are 14 1/2" leg opening. The 501 taper they sent me is right at the same as regular 501 except tighter in waist and looser in legs. I will not waste my time posting another pic for Levi to hide it from posting. They are out of everything so I wonder if they are going out of business or poor leadership and shareholders need to hear about it.

Not tapered leg opening

a year ago
These are the same as regular 501 in the leg opening and not tapered any more than regular 501. They fit tight in the waist, much smaller than normal 501 so they are too tight in the waist and baggy in the legs. I thought a button up with same leg opening as 502 is just what I'd want but these are not that. Photo compares them to the leg opening of a 502, they are both supposed to be 14 1/2" leg opening. They look to be about 16" opening which is a normal 501 that is not tapered.

Recently bought the pair that’s labeled black. For those of you looking for a nice black pair of jeans, these aren’t it. These are more of a deep, dark blue than black. I just threw on a black hoodie with these and they definitely look like dress jeans that a middle manager would wear on a casual Friday.
