Good Quality - High Cotton Content

3 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.

Love Levi’s 541 jeans

2 months ago
I’m very happy with the fit of Levi’s 541 jeans. They are comfortable and the amount of stretch is just right. My usual go to for Levi’s are the 550’s, but the 541’s are great.

Size inconsistent.

11 months ago
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

23 days 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

a month 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

3 months ago
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.

Taper?

a year ago
Confused about the style. They sit on the waist with more room in the butt + thigh as advertised, but the leg clearly isn't a taper.

High price, low quality

11 days 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

15 days ago
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.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Poor quality

3 months ago
It only took about 6 months for these jeans to tear right in the crotch area. Ridiculously poor quality, not what I would have expected from Levi jeans. Unfortunately I'm going to have to now find another brand that fits, but lasts at least a couple years as a normal pair of jeans should. No longer going to buy Levi's because of this poor quality. Ridiculous to be spending $100 on any pants that only last 6 months.

Reeks of mothballs AKA formaldehyde

5 months ago
Jeans fit well, but they absolutely reek of mothballs, even after washing. Hanging the jeans up to dry, my throat started to get sore and my nose started to run. Looking into this, I see this is a well-documented issue - apparently, new Levi's smell of formaldehyde, which is toxic. According to reddit, I could get rid of the smell-in theory-with a combination of soaking in alcohol, leaving out in the sun, then washing with vinegar and baking soda but... rather than put all this work on the customer... maybe just stop using terrible smelling, toxic chemicals in your manufacturing process. I had to throw the jeans out, as I was concerned about them still smelling around my kids. No thanks. From now on, I'll cough up money for more expensive brands, I guess.
