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 fit on these pants is fire. It is definitely slim but not restricting in movement. I feel like I can wear these all day and be super comfortable.

Comfy stretchy jeans, but odd sizing

a year ago
These pants are pretty close to perfect. They're reasonably breathable, stretchy, and have a nice black color. The pair I received however was at least an inch longer than it should've been, so I will probably have to get them tailored to have them fit perfectly.

Size up in waist if athletic thigh

a year ago
I used to be a 32/32 all around, but with the slim taper 512s, if you want a little bit of a room in the thigh, get 33/32, but if you want a still-fitting comfortable thigh and still a clean taper down the leg where you can dress the jeans up, or wear casual, go 34/32. I had to re-order, and try on in stores, and the 34 waist was perfect for me and I'm only 175 lbs, 5'11 guy with a little bit of an athletic leg/thicker thigh and calf.

Best jeans

Perfect fit. These jeans are comfortable with the flex stretch. The legs are slim, but not skinny and I prefer the taper over straight. Always fits well and the black looks good with everything.

Not exactly stretch

a year ago
The description says that these jeans are stretch material, However, they don’t specify when the jeans are made of Levi’s flex stretch material. So basically one of my jeans are made of the flex material and the other doesn’t really stretch that much. The one with the Levi’s flex stretch material is the best. I wish there was a way of knowing I couldn’t find the description.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Just what I was looking for.

2 years ago
I'd been wearing 511s for the past few years but always felt like there was just too much material gathering around my ankles, so I took a chance on these and they fit EXACTLY the way I was hoping they would. They're perfect for people who want a fitted look without the skin tight feel of skinny jeans.

Geniale Jeans

Aber wann kann man sie wieder kaufen. Ich sehe keine Alternativen. Mir gefällt besonders die Passform, das schwarze Etikett hinten, die Farbe und vor allem der Stretch, der die Hose sehr bequem macht.
