  • A classic taper for every day
  • Extra room for comfort
  • A refined, modern alternative to straight jeans
  • These jeans are made with Levi's® Eco Ease. The eco part? H2O-saving manufacturing technology that recycles a portion of the water used to make this fabric. The ease part? A blend of midweight denim with just the right amount of stretch.

A great option for summer

11 days ago
The 502 taper jeans are my go to style. I purchased this light green color for wearing this summer. The jeans fit and feel great as expected. The color of the pair I received is a bit darker than what I expected from the website photos. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

Die richtige Hose zu meiner Levi's-Jeansjacke.

Der Stretch-Anteil macht den Stoff sehr angenehm zu tragen. Farbe gefällt mir super. Hose könnte allerdings etwas höher auf der Hüfte sitzen.

Great wash

These jeans fit very slim compared to the dark wash in same cut….unfortunately the 30” inseam is actually 28and a half inches which makes it too short…why is it called a 30 if it’s not 30?

Decent quality jean but a bad cut

9 months ago
The material is comfortable and a good quality, but the cut is terrible. Usually wear a 34 waist, but there is very little room in the crotch area. I went with a 36 to wear with a belt but they are baggy and not very tapered.

Degrading Quality 502 Taper Denim

3 months ago
I ordered two pair of 502 taper mens jeans in April 2025. Love both pairs. Some of my favorites. So I ordered another two pair in December 2025 and am deeply disappointed in the obvious drop in quality. The December pair are much roomier, oversized I’d say, and are much stretchier. They just look and feel cheap by comparison to the pairs I bought earlier in the year at a lower price.

Defects Out of the Box

5 months ago
The jeans are just... Off.. First, I ordered size 31 waist and these are definitely much looser than any other 31 waist I have worn from Levi's in the past. Second, with no washes, the torque on the right leg is insane. The vertical seams are almost 90 degrees twisted. I couldn't figure out why these jeans felt weird and then noticed this. Unfortunately outside the return window. To me the quality is quite poor for a pair of jeans that cost as much as they do.

Prairie thunderstorm should be called acid washed

The color of these jeans is terrible. I ordered prairie thunderstorm. They look beige in the pictures, but they look like acid washed jeans from the eighties. I was too far outside of the return window. These jeans look terrible. Levi’s needs to do a better job describing the colors. I’m going to order from wrangler now.

Poor Quality Control

a month ago
I have two identical pairs of Levi’s. Both are the exact same style, “wash”, waist and inseam. One fits great. But this pair recently purchased does not. Everything about it is just…big. Too big. Almost too big to wear, almost a complete waste of good money. Makes me wonder about Levi’s quality controls. How can two identical pairs of pants be so wildly different??

I wear a 38x34. I couldn’t get these jeans passed my upper thighs. Regardless of a jeans’ cut, whether it’s slim, baggy, boot cut, skinny, whatever, pants size should fit. I shouldn’t have to say “oh these Gap jeans are a 38 waist but on these Levi’s I need a 42. Imagining having to do that with shoes. Imagine having to that with belts!! Ludicrous
