About this Style

Our 512™ Slim Taper sits at the sweet spot between a skinny and a regular taper. These jeans are part of our most versatile family of fits and are a go-to for every occasion. As you probably guessed from the name, they feature a slim fit through the thigh that tapers down to the ankle. The end result? A seemingly tailor-made pair of jeans you can style any which way.


  • The perfect, put-together balance of skinny and tapered
  • Made with a narrow leg for a more tailored look
  • Similar waist, seat and thigh as Levi’s® 511™ but with a slimmer leg
  • These durable, stretch selvedge jeans were woven on a traditional narrow-width shuttle loom—making them highly covetable. Roll up the cuff to show off the selvedge ID.
  • Made with Levi's® Ease, a blend of midweight denim and just the right amount of stretch. Plus, they're designed to look and feel better over time—just like your favorite vintage Levi’s®

Fav jeans

a year ago
Thank you to @influenster and @levis for the opportunity to try out a pair of Levi's jeans! I received these products for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have to say, the hype is real. These jeans are incredibly comfortable and well-made. It's good style and size. The denim feels durable yet soft, and the fit is perfect-snug in all the right places without being restrictive. I've worn them multiple times already, and they hold their shape perfectly without bagging out. Whether I'm running errands or heading out for a casual dinner, these are my new go-to. They're a classic for a reason!

Worth It

I thought I'd spring for the added expense of Selvedge fabric. It was more than worth it. These are great jeans!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Highly recommend!

a year ago
Durability These jeans use premium selvedge denim—often with organic cotton or advanced fibers like TENCEL™ Lyocell and Refibra™—and are crafted with traditional shuttle-loom techniques, lending a hard-wearing structure. However, long-term users report wear issues such as tearing at the crotch and thinning over time Style With a clean, tailored silhouette, the 512 offers the balance of skinny and tapered cuts—streamlined but not restrictive . It’s a very versatile piece that fits both casual and dressier outfits: think smart shirts or T-shirts with sneakers Sizing The fit is generally slim through the thigh and tapering down—similar to the 511 cut but with a narrower leg . That said, sizing inconsistencies are common—many buyers have noted that the same size can vary significantly between pairs, and they often recommend trying multiple pairs to find the right fit Comfort Made with about 1–2% elastane for stretch, the 512 Selvedge delivers a comfortable fit while maintaining a tailored look . Reviewers often praise the comfort, particularly for how it feels "like a glove" and works for both men and women . A few report tightness around thighs when sitting, but note that the denim loosens with wear and washing Fit The cut sits below the waist with narrow thighs and tapered legs, achieving a flattering yet functional silhouette . However, for very slim builds, the relaxed thigh fit may appear slightly baggy—those with slender frames may need to size down or consider tailoring

Will be buying again- great quality and great fit. Runs exactly the right size although pretty sure length is longer than how much it should be.

Softer and quality made jeans

a year ago
I would absolutely recommend these jeans. The fit of this model were perfect for me and softer than other styles. These also seem to be made of better quality than the 501s (this has a leather back patch vs paper) purchased earlier this year. Also the color and fade on these jeans were great too as it goes with many wardrobe choices. I will probably end up getting another pair.

Great fit, massive upgrade over standard Levi’s

a year ago
I have standard Levi’s and these selvedge fit exactly the same. No need to size up like most selvedge brands. The denim weight isn’t listed, I would say it’s between 11 and 12 oz and are much more forgiving than typical selvedge like Iron Heart, Samurai or even Naked and Famous. There’s a hint of stretch that helps with the wearability and mobility. If you’re new to selvedge or veteran, these are a great addition to your arsenal. The 512 cut is hard to beat for my slim body type. 165lbs, 5 ft. 10 in. Slim Athletic build

New favorite pair of jeans

a year ago
I got the light wash. Love 512's, hate that they are just a little bit not right most of the time either in fit or feel of the denim. These however did not disappoint, they have that little bit extra, a perfect fit and that extra bit of comfort that easily made these my new favorite pair of jeans. The selvedge denim definitely gives the normal 512 that extra bit of comfort they needed to be perfect IMHO. Just grabbed a pair in black while they are still on sale. Wish they had more washes
