Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 559™ Relaxed Straight

I don't know what's going on with Levi's. I bought a pair of 559s a couple of years ago, in a similar wash, and they fit and feel great. But now the fit now is completely different. The waist is wider, the legs are longer and slimmer, and even the front two belt loops are closer together (which causes bunching when I wear a belt). I have worn 31x32 559s for years, but now it seems I need a 30.5x31 - which of course does not exist. (And I have not changed size significantly in that time. I certainly haven't gotten skinnier and shorter.) I ordered several pairs of 559s (in June 2012) in different washes, and no two pairs fit the same. Some variation is to be expected with denim, but the differences are dramatic. Some washes feel thin and very soft; others are stiffer and have a more classic feel. The gray wash feels like a pair of skinny jeans; the black has spandex in it. Huh? What is the point of offering jeans in a named style if there is no consistency among them? The only positives I can offer are that the washes are attractive, the skinnier legs are actually kind of cool (they look more modern), and the price is hard to beat.

It's hard to find this size retail, so I was thrilled I could get them through Zappos. Unfortunately, the zipper broke the fourth time I wore them (What? Levi's?!) Zappos replaced them on my word--so cool. Levi's wanted me to ship the jeans to them (on my dime) and they would decide if the zipper was defective or not. Seriously? I had to demand a shipping label. Levi's said they'd give me that one time courtesy. So, the right way to do business was framed as a favor to me. I am forever a loyal Zappos customer!

I ordered 3 pairs of these for my son, and the sizing was all over the place. Only one fit and one had stains. He has worn 559's for years because he prefers the lower waist. The new ones are made of a much lighter, stretch denim, and the cut is narrower in the hips and legs, but at least they are still low rise. I checked the department stores, and the Levi's were just as irregular there. Levi's are no longer made in America, and this is what we get for quality control from other places!!

These are the best fitting jeans I can find anywhere! I'm 6'6", 240 and the extra room in the thighs is great. These open up just enough at the bottom to fit over sneakers or boots adding to the coolness of these high-quality jeans. At this price I've gotten almost every color and have no complaints.

I'm a husky guy around 205lbs. 501s and other Levi's don't seem to fit right but these 559s relaxed fit are a perfect fit. They look good and are comfortable to wear!

I bought these jeans for my husband, in hopes of updating his style a bit. The Indie Blue is perfect and dark enough to be a bit dressy. My husband is 6'4" and around 220 pounds. I must confess he has love handles and a full (for a man) behind. All that to say, skinny jeans are not an option. These look great on him, just enough roominess without looking baggy. The price is fabulous, and in all honesty, these look every bit as good as the O'Neill pair I bought him at the same time. I've already ordered him another pair, and all the faded jeans hanging in the closet are on their way out!

As always, the delivery was quick. The size is perfect for me. Can't really go wrong with Zappos return policy if the size or fitting is not to your liking. Go ahead...be adventurous!

Bought these jeans for my husband and they are great! Love the color, and the fit is perfect. These are perfect jeans for men who like looking like men, not guys in girls' skinny jeans!

Brilliant service provided by Zappos as agreed upon by one and all. The jeans were ideal but fit for me was an issue, too low rise and snug through butt and thighs, I am an athletic 44 year old who loves to cycle, too restrictive and low in back, otherwise these are a good looking quality item.

This is a great fit. Not too relaxed, not too straight. Just right. And the length was good too. Some 32L are actually short after washing, but these were just right. And the fabric is soft and movable.

Generally true to size, but a little bit baggy-er than I other 559's I have purchased in the past.

Bought these for my husband and they look great! I purchased the blue frost. Great color that can be dressed up or down. His job is fairly casual. He wears these with a nice button down and he's all set! Highly recommend.

What nice jeans! I was browsing through Macy's thousands of jeans and found a pair of these. I was in love instantly. Didn't even look at the tag until at the register. Came home, checked Zappos, ordered here for less at 4pm! Next morning I woke up and they were already by the door! Incredible price and service! And the jeans are just fantastic. Elegant, extremely light. The color is just fantastic. Definitely a step above casual. Highly recommended!

Great fit. Very good quality. I'm a little chubby, especially in the thigh area, so I like to wear my jeans a little loose for comfort. But I don't want my jeans to look baggy either. I find that I can wear these jeans just about any time - work and play. My company has a very relaxed dress code, so I wear these with a polo and fit right in at the office.

This jeans look good with anything you want to wear it with. But the only thing I hate about it is how long they are. I got 36 by 30 and I'm 5.8 and there's still long. But good overall jeans

Bought for my son. He is thin and tall. All I can say is he loved them and I am ordering another pair for him.

These are great jeans! I purchased for someone athletic (muscular legs) and they are not too tight, nor too baggy!

Been a fan of Levi's and the 559 style for years. Not too slim, not too loose, especially if you are not a stick figure...something to be aware of is all the denim used isn't the same "weight" from finish to finish. Some are heavier than others.

Great price on a comfy pair of jeans. I couldn't even find my size at Levi's stores but Zappos had them in the exact style that I prefer. Great customer service as well, I accidentally submitted an incorrect shipping address and Zappos rerouted the package for me. It still arrived within 3 business days.

Great fit! True to size and cut style of jean. This color was a bit of a gamble since it was hard to see online, but it's more black than blue and perfect to what I was hoping to buy.

These were exactly what I hoped for and shipping time and service was amazing! Will come back here for more when I am ready!

These are my husband's favorite Levi's style. It's hard to find his size (42x32) in stores. I love that Zappos had his size in different shades! This will be the go to place for his jeans from now on! Thanks Zappos!

They are very low cut! Great color and style my man just didn't like how low they are cut!

I got these for my husband and he loved them. They're not too tight but they still look tailored. Good to wear to dinner in the city, a bar, etc. He got a 32W34L and that's what he's worn for years so i guess they're pretty true to size.

I am from Russia. I ordered these jeans through an intermediary, and in spite of all the additional services (delivery, forwarding, customs duty) has turned out much cheaper than in stores. I was glad nebylo aisle when she wore a purchase and I went to 100% size growth - everything is perfect. And of course quality, Levi's has Levi's.
