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 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.

Highly recommend!

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

Perfect fit!

Perfect fit! These taper perfectly and fit better than expected. They also are true to size, I didn’t have to size up or down based on what I normally wear with other brands. These are my favorite

Never received my purchase

OnTrac (the worst delivery company on earth) says that my package was delivered but I never received it. I will not be ordering anything in the future from Levi’s. Why use OnTrac???? It’s just soooo terrible. Get it together Levi’s!!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Way too small!

Runs comically small. My 34x34 measured at a 32x32. Model picture is deceiving and inaccurate.
