 Skinny Jeans for a Skinny Guy |
| Review Date: September 21, 2006 |
| Reviewer: J. Adams, |
| I'm a skinny guy. Finding jeans that fit great is hard. But these fit great at a great price. They hug in all of the right places. Seriously, if you're skinny and want a pair of slim jeans, get these. They are amazing. |
Quite a Fit

Pros: Available in many sizes and washes, reasonable price, comfortable and contoured fit
Cons: Not true to size
Having unusual proportions has always been problematic for me, and as a result, I have tried many different brands and styles of jeans. At 6'4", finding jeans that have a sufficient length provides some difficulty, and with a very narrow waist for my height (30"), it can seem downright impossible. I have no alternative to online retail for finding jeans that fit, so finding them feels very much like a hunt than a casual dressing room routine.
I have tried 7 For All Mankind, Chip & Pepper, Earnest Sewn, American Eagle, and a whole slew of brands to get a feel for what's out there. I never really considered trying Levi's because they just never seemed to draw my attention. I had no interest in Levi's 501's, because I knew they fit too loose, and simply was unaware that Levi's made slim jeans in my size, particularly the 511's in 32x36. Recently, I discovered this, and decided to give the Levi's 511's a try.
In my limited experience in the past, I knew typically Levi's run slightly long. Although a disadvantage to some, for a person of my height who never runs into a pair of jeans that's actually "too long" (I actually fit a 37" inseam), having that extra inch or so is a blessing. Furthermore, as slim jeans, I presumed that they would fit slimmer in the waist than the size indicated. This may also serve as an issue for some, but considering they will stretch with use to your body, is worth accepting (not to mention it works to my favor with a smaller waist than the indicated size).
I ordered a couple pairs of Levi's 511 as a trial run and found my presumptions of running long and slim to hold true, which certainly brought me relief. While even a bit slim for me for the first day, they quickly contoured to my body and became quite comfortable. They fit well and have no extra baggage, as a slim pair of jeans should. While definitely slim, they are only bordering skinny jeans. I find this advantageous, as truly skinny jeans tend to offer very little breathing room and limit heat dissipation. Furthermore, the tighter the fit, the more frequently you are inclined to wash, as the jeans become stretched out more quickly. I feel that the Levi's 511's fit comfortable and tight in the right places, and offer a perfect intermediate between straight/slim straight and the tighter skinny fits.
Currently, Levi's offers a host of different washes and in many sizes to find a friend in just about anyone who has the hankering to try some slim, but not quite skinny jeans. So far, I am enjoying my experience with the Levi's 511's, and I am sure I will enjoy them for many days coming. I really think you will too. |
Fantastic!

| I purchased these for a guy who is hard to fit; trim, hard legs and slim hipped but a waist size that is shrinking. Most jeans swim on him. These fit PERFECTLY and give him a silhouette that makes sense (not too tight and definitely not too loose). He says they are totally comfortable and the best fitting jeans he has ever worn. The manufacturer says they will shrink if washed ( 1" in the waist and 2" in length)and recommends dry-cleaning. Even if cold water wash and hang dry does this it is still worth it. We bought two pairs and the third is in my cart as I write... |
These jeans are HOT!!!!

| The fit is great. Sexy slim look and feel. Slight stretch to add to comfort and hugging feel of the denim. Got lots of compliments. |

| I like 511's. They are slimmer than the 514's. Buy same size as 514 / 514. Black ones with spandex do feel great buy tend to pick up more cat hair and lint than blue ones, buy hey they're the black ones. |
Perfect For The Skinny Guy

| Reviewer: Spike, MetroWest Boston, MA |
| Yup, these rock. Fit is almost perfect, and my 34"'s are longer than stated. Only issue I had was the waist was a little loose after quite a few washes. I just wear a belt. I always do cold water, inside out and hang dry. Going to try to soak the waist into shrinking. Also they're quite a bit cheaper on Amazon than at the Levis store at the mall. One caveat: I've caught girls, you know...staring (I didn't know girls did that), so I've dubbed them my "sl*t jeans" and decided they're inappropriate for work. |
Teenager loves them

| I'm a very thin guy and I was looking for some skinnier jeans that weren't too feminine or anything like that...these are perfect, they're great for skinny guys like me and they're pretty comfortable, too. |
Levis Slim-Leg Jeans

| Reviewer: Jacquelyn Mcnamara, Poway, CA |
My son is tall and thin, so it is hard to locate and purchase jeans that fit him at the local mall. I bought these slim leg jeans by levis for him and they fit wonderfully. He wears a size 26 waist and 30 length. That is impossible to find.

Levi 511 Skinny jeans

| Review Date: November 4, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Barbara Metcalf-Mace, Beautiful Pacific Northwest |
| My 14 yr. old son bought a pair of 511's locally while we were school shopping this year. When it seemed he was wearing these jeans every day, I decided we needed another pair. After looking locally, and finding only a few in his size at ridiculous prices, I went online to look. Amazon came up with great options in his size AND at a very resonable price even with shipping. I ordered a pair in a different shade than he had. To my surprise, they arrived quite quickly and were exactly as ordered. My son was happy, I was happy, we all are happy. I will need to order another pair soon and I know exactly where to go now. |
