Perfect middle of the pack fit

Perfect middle of the pack fit. Not too bad and not too tight. If you're looking for a default pair of black denim to add to your rotation, this is the one.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good Quality - High Cotton Content

4 months ago
These feel pretty solid so far. They are just as comfortable as the other “Premium” 541s that are mixed with lyocell but I really like that they switched back to high cotton content (99%) for durability. I just hope they bring out some lighter washes and medium washes without the distressed faded coloring or distressed tears like they have with the other lyocell 541s.

One of my favorites!

True to size, very durable doesn’t wash off color with washes. They style is a bit lose but looks good if you want to dress up. Very comfortable, especially around the hips.

Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper jeans are super comfy if you’ve got bigger thighs. They fit relaxed on top and taper nicely for a clean look. Good stretch, durable, and easy to dress up or down.

Perfect for any day.

Nothing better than a good pair of jeans. My husband has always struggled finding the right fit, but the athletic taper are perfect! He has a bigger butt and these are great! He can drop down into a squat with no issues and do some pool maintenance. I personally really like the color being lighter. I would definitely buy again in other colors.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!

I got these jeans for my husband, and we’re really happy with them! The fit is true to size – we got his usual size and it fits perfectly. The fabric is soft yet durable, and the color is just like in the pictures. He wears them often, and they still look great after washing. Highly recommend!

Great pair of jeans

10 months ago
These are the perfect pair of jeans. The dark blue makes them stand out for me. My husband is typically a 32x32 but these did seem a little tight on him. They still fit nicely and feel pretty comfortable to be in. The materiel is great and feels pretty durable!

Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper Fit jeans

10 months ago
The Levi’s 541 Athletic Taper Fit jeans are a standout choice for men who need a bit more room in the seat and thighs without sacrificing a modern, tailored look. Designed specifically for athletic builds, these jeans offer a relaxed fit through the upper leg that tapers nicely from the knee down, creating a clean silhouette that works well with everything from sneakers to boots. The style is versatile enough to be dressed up with a button-down shirt or worn casually with a hoodie or tee. With a slightly higher rise, they sit comfortably at the waist and give a balanced, structured appearance without feeling baggy or too loose. In terms of comfort, the 541s deliver on all fronts. Most washes include a small amount of stretch woven into the denim, allowing for easy movement throughout the day whether you're commuting, working, or just relaxing. The fabric feels substantial but not stiff, striking a great balance between durability and wearability. These jeans hold up well to repeated use and washing, maintaining their shape and color over time. As for sizing, they run true to size for most body types, though those with especially muscular legs may appreciate sizing up slightly for an even more relaxed feel. Overall, the 541s are a dependable go-to for guys who want both comfort and a clean, athletic-inspired style without compromising on quality or fit.

541Chicken Of The Woods - Dark Wash. Odd name but.

10 months ago
If you wear 34/32, order 33/32 and you should be good on the 541's "Chicken of the Woods-Dark Wash" don't know about the rest. Really like this super dark blue with black thread stitching, low key. Guessing this is Levi's sub or replacement for now, non-existing 541 (181810525) just about gave up, so glad I found this.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Size inconsistent.

These are good pants, but these pants can come in different sizes than what you ordered. One pair may might be listed the same size on the tag but another pair with the same tag might fit completely different.

Sizing problems

2 months ago
I’ve owned several pairs over the years and I do love them. But darn is the sizing unpredictable. I’ve owned 32” inseams that were just the right length. I’ve owned 34” that were just the right length. I’ve owned 34” that were much too long. I’ve owned 32” that were much too short. Sadly, these were 34” if the much too long variety. I’ll have to get them hemmed before I can wear them. Hard to believe a brand like Levi’s cannot get this simple thing right.

PRICEY but look good

3 months ago
Nice jeans but I feel they are very expensive!! $100 and no free shipping and also add in the tax! PRICEY FOR SURE! Delivery service used was also kind of wonky. Kept giving me a delivery date and then my package never showed up on that day. Bought this for a gift so needed it here by a certain date. They give about a years worth of wear before crotch starts blowing out. That is not even with a wash/dry every wear. If my son didn't like these so much, I would find others.

Short inseam

I purchased a pair in 33x34, but the inseam only measures 33 inches. They look and feel great, otherwise; but I'm disappointed I can't cuff this pair. I recommend ordering a longer inseam than you usually would.

High price, low quality

2 months ago
I have 5 pairs of the Premium 541s in Black, the color has outlasted the regular 541s but the seam in the crotch always blows apart. I wear my jeans on the looser side and constantly have this problem, I even sized up another waist size this past purchase last year to see if it fixed this issue and it did not. Levi’s are horrible now days, they don’t last like to original pairs used to

Pretty poor fit , even poorer quality

Poor quality, poor fit. One would think that the Haas family would pay a little attention to the product the sell. But I suppose they feel that as long as it isn’t their name or reputation at stake it’s ok to sell substandard products with no quality control.
