Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 511™ Slim

Got the pumped up which contains 2% elastane. By the middle of the afternoon, they were stretched out and sliding off. My fault for not checking the fabric content, but it's a little irritating.

It was too baggy. Usually most jeans are never slim fit for 42x30.

A little too stretchy for me - after the first couple of times you wear them they tend to sag in certain areas, but very comfortable.

Definitely should've paid more attention to previous reviewers. These jeans are tiny! could barely button them and they were sized way too small. I have to return them and may order them in a size larger. They look good and I really like the dark denim wash. The stitching looks great too. Hopefully the other size will fit, will get back with you.

Bought 2 of these Levi jeans for son who is 6'6. Fit well however not denim...more spandex and this has NO reflect on Zappos it is Levi using cheap material and higher or same price.

At first the jeans were awesome! They fit great and were exactly what I was expecting... and then I washed them. I followed the wash directions on the tag and still the jeans came out about 2 inches shorter in length and fit completely different. Just beware, and by beware I mean don't wash them!

Bought these in 29W32L because they were the same style number and size as another pair that I really like (Levi's Mens 511, Slim/Skinny Fit, Hybrid Trouser). I thought they would just be nice to have in another color. These pants, however, fit completely differently, in that they don't. If you are a eunuch, these pants might be for you.

The anthracite color is actually waxed black which after only one washing has faded into a weird off-navy blue color. Also, this wax treatment makes them pick up stains very easily that cannot be cleaned off individually. If you try to dab the stain off, you're left with a weird halo stain because of how the waxed layer interacts with water. I normally never wash my jeans -- I put them in the freezer in a ziploc bag sprinkled with baking soda -- and I'm afraid this pair will require repeated washings.

The "rigid gray" don't really look great. I agree with a previous reviewer that each pair of Levi's fits a little differently. I found that the "Anthracite" pair fit great, so I kept those.

I wanted to get on the skinny jeans bandwagon, even as a 40 year old, I like to keep up with trends. I thought the dark color would make these conservative enough to wear on work on casual days. However, this style was really to young looking for me and not conservative at all. I am tall and thin, but these were really "skinny" and tight through legs. I felt like I looked like an aging rock star in these. From the picture these don't look like really stretch-slim jeans but in reality, they are. These are better suited for a younger trendier guy. The color was nice, and they appeared well made though.

I've had three pairs of these now, and they're great while they last. Unfortunately, they don't usually last long. My latest pair developed holes within 8 months! Cheap, but I would expect even cheap jeans to last longer than that.

My son measures at a 26" waist and could not zip the size 28. Had to send them back. The Levi's 514 fit him well.

For as much as I love Levi's, I absolutely hate them. I have over 6 pairs of these in the same sizes but different colors, and each pair fit's COMPLETELY different. Every part of the fit is different, too. Some of them fit extremely tight, others are perfect, and others are extremely loose, some of them are high-waders, some are way too long, and some fit perfect, some are like corset's, some I need a belt, and again, some are perfect. It makes it really irritating spending as much money as Levi's are and having to guess how they're going to fit, even though you have 10 pairs in your drawer. You think with as large of a company that they are they would put more emphasis on trying to make every pair as similar as possible to eliminate the guessing game. But when you do get that perfect pair they are extremely comfortable and look great, which is why I continue take the risk.

Washed before wearing, dried on Perm Press and even though they were removed from dryer right away they came out with deep wide wrinkles. Had to press with steam iron. Hopefully they will soften up as time goes by. Also, don't care for the ironed in wrinkles at the back of the knees. Otherwise they are good style.

have 2 other pairs same pant # and size , and yet these dont fit.

Argh! I went looking for 100% cotton jeans, since the stretchy ones get too hot in the summer (plastic weave will do that). These were billed as 100% cotton, except for certain colors. So. . . I ordered Sanibel State, which is NOT listed as one of th not-100% cotton. They arrived. They fit. They look as good as jeans can look on me. But. . . they are 70% cotton, 28% Lyocell (whatever that is) and 2% Elastane (aka plastic). Bummer. Maybe I'll keep them and just wear them in winter. The quest for 100% cotton continues. But I guess I'll have to shop in person, since this item was not accurately described on Zappos.

Beware, the Bee Eye version are STRETCH jeans, run very large. Not listed as stretchy in the description, I ordered a pair to replace a pair of 511 Bee Eye jeans bought a year or so ago, which are not stretchy. The new pair measured 1-1/2 inches wider in the waist without the big stretch available. Also had large washed out sections on front of thighs. Returning for a smaller size, hoping the color is more uniform.

The 30" inseam, which I always wear in Levi was too short.

Garbage jeans

I ordered two pairs, one black and one gray, and the material is totally different between them--one more like regular denim and one more solid and shiny. Also one pair fits perfect and the other one is too loose and too short! Same size and style. Doesn't make any sense and it's annoying. Returning one pair.

Larger and baggier than normal 511's. Also had some perma-wrinkle thing going on in the crotch area that I could not see in the picture. No bueno!

These are different than the 511's sold in regular Levi's stores (which often have a black Levi's sizing patch on the back). The ones in the Levi's store fit me great, these are much too tight. I then tried to exchane these at the store and the guy said these are the jeans sold at the outlet. Even the small red tag on the back pocket doesn't say "Levis" on it. If you have tried on 511's in the store and are basing your sizing off of that then you will be disappointed.

Ordered the Rinsed Playa 32x36 and the advertised color in the pictures is not even close to what I received. The jeans are actually a MUCH lighter blue in person and I don't believe the pictures are of the correct color. Also ordered the same size and cut in a khaki version and those fit as expected while this other pair did not. They were much tighter around the waist and crotch than would be expected and are longer in length than any other 36" pant I've had. I may exchange for a different color in a 34x34.

I bought a pair of these last year and loved them. They wore down pretty fast, in less than a year, but when paying this price, I felt I couldn't expect much more. So when I bought a second pair, I was extremely disappointed to find that they changed the fit (plus they got rid of the sequoia color, which was perfect). I bought the same size, because the last pair had fit me great right out of the box, and the new pair did not fit me in the waist and thighs, while they were looser in the cuff, taking away from the "slim fit." Levi's said they changed the name and not the fit, but that is not the case. Sorry to say, it's not.
