About this Style

Meet our most versatile fit—our 502™ Taper jeans. Cut on the slimmer side (but still roomy enough for comfort) with a streamlined, tapered leg, they’re a more refined, modern alternative to straight jeans and a universal favorite across builds. They look great both cuffed and uncuffed, and go with pretty much any shoes, so whip out the sneakers, combat boots or slip-ons.

These jeans are money. The fit is perfect just like the normal 501s but you got a little more give with the stretch, they last through skating (not easy on jeans), and the color is just right. #win501

Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect...With a Slight Twist.

8 years ago
Since I have lost some weight, I love wearing 501s again which reflect the slimmer me. I bought these jeans for two reasons. One, I wanted black 501s. And two, I wanted 100% cotton again. Maybe, it was a quirk, or the Turkish manufacturers forgot to mention they put a little elastane in the jeans, but I got a pair with 1% elastane. Nevertheless, the fit is fantastic.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Sitz ist gut. Farbe ist gut, Stoff könnte vielleicht ein bisschen fester sein, die gleiche Jeans in etwas dunklerer Farbe ist etwas fester (dürfte aber wiederum nicht fester sein)

Aptos para verano

No dan calor, y la anchura en los muslos, entrepierna y trasero es buena para que no se peguen. Mido 1.72 y el largo 30 me va perfecto en este modelo, normalmente suele quedarme algo más largo.

Nice, comfortable and classic 502 fit even if somehow more like a "chino" style than denim

Der Stoff ist ziemlich dick, eher was für den Winter, und auch für meinen Geschmak zu steif, eher nicht zum Sitzen.

Trop petit

J’ai l’habitude des jeans Levis Taper 502 mais cet article taillait plus petit que mes jeans que je prends habituellement en 31/32. Je suis légèrement déçu par ce constat car j’avais obtenu une belle promo dessus et j’ai dû le renvoyer.

button fly coming apart

8 years ago
Shrink to fit 501s. I bought 3 pairs. One pair has inside edge of button hole tearing loose.Never in my 50 years of wearing them have they torn in that area. They weren't worn and washed more than half a dozen times. I think the sewing was defective.Other two pair no problems.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Beware! They shrink.

a month ago
I bought two pairs. Nice cut but beware… They shrink after two washes, length and waist, to the extent mine no longer fit. They were washed cold/30 and dried naturally, not tumble dried or on a radiator, but they still shrank. They’re also not very comfortable imho, I don’t know why but it feels as if they don’t ‘breathe’.

Too heavy weight fabric.

9 months ago
The fabric is too heavy weight. There is also a 'WARM' label inside that it's not visible in the pictures. They should have a picture at least to inform the byers. And the elasticity is low due to the heavy fabric.

Has not stood up to previous products

8 years ago
Got 5 pair different colors, the stonewashed and lighter colors shrank more than I thought after 4 or 5 washes and the buttons started to get loose. They came from the Kentucky warehouse so I dont know if that was the problem because I have never had a problem with any Levis and I have been a customer since the 1980's.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Feel cheap; shrink a lot.

28 days ago
Nice cut/style when new. However… Be warned: even if you wash at 30deg and dry naturally, these jeans will shrink, so much so they’ll no longer fit comfortably. I bought 2 pairs, both shrank big time. And it’s no longer possible to stretch back into shape when wet. Best to buy at least one size bigger? Also, the material feels ‘cheap’ and doesn’t hang well – considering the cost, this is unacceptable. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Never again.

Schlechte Qualität

Haben vor drei Jahren zwei 502 Jeans gekauft, die eine ist in der Waschmaschine im Pflegewaschgang gerissen und man sieht, dass sie an einigen Stellen wellig ist, was auf eine schlechte Elasthanqualität schließen lässt. Die zweite ist an derselben Stelle kurz davor, auch zu reissen. Kundenservice nicht kulant. Wir kaufen jetzt woanders.
