Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 559™ Relaxed Straight

the product i bought is a good quality, and the size i asked for. the delivery time was too long, and the delivery service put the package by my sidewalk, by the fence line of my property. anyone walking by could have taken the package....very unprofessional !!!

I have bought 559s before, but not for a few years. The ones they are selling now through this website have changed somewhat. The fabric is thinner, and the material is a little more stretchy. What that means is if you wear your jeans for more than a day between washes, they become loose and start falling down on you (and you have to keep pulling them up. That is not fun.) The first day after the wash though, they are fine. I liked them better before.

Ok but

Nice jeans but they do shrink a bit.

Bottom line...I like these jeans just okay. Here's my big issue with Levis in the recent past, which I've largely been wearing in some variation for 30+ years (yeah I guess I'm an old guy at 50), they are totally inconsistent in fit & quality. Including this most recent purchase from Zappos (great company, in my opinion). I've purchased at least 4 pairs of this exact style over the past 2-3 years. Of the 4 they've been made in Haiti (this pair), Mexico (my 2nd to the last buy which I loved the fit & wanted to duplicate), Colombia, and Bangledesh. Each pair fits differently in some way, shape, or form (longer, shorter, tighter, looser, etc) despite being the same style and same size. While my weight may fluctuate +/- 5lbs during the seasons, my size is pretty consistent. The front pockets in the most recent pair are much shallower than previous ones, and the back pockets also seem smaller, I assume in an effort to say on material costs. I hate it that I can't expect the same fit & quality when buying what is advertised by Levi's as the same product. I guess this is what you get when you outsource your manufacturing and quality control to countries with cheap labor.

Levis 559 jeans fit me really well. I have a small waist and an athletic build. In the Rigid color they have a dark indigo finish and are 100% cotton. I gave these a 5 star overall rating. The black finish has 1% elastic (spandex) and attract lint.

I had the same problem as previous posters. I bought these based on a previous pair I owned. They fit great. However, the recent ones ride lower and were smaller than expected. Will just try a different cut I guess.

Although I washed these in cold water and dried on a low setting, they shrunk approximately 4" in length, and about 1-2" in width, rendering them unwearable for me. Recommend ordering next size up in waist, and one or two sizes up in length.

I bought the Sub Zero, Range and Tumbled Rigid versions. Sub Zero has some polyester in the material, is a looser fit and was longer than the others (although all were ordered in the same size). For my frame 6'3" 205 lbs, I found the Range and Rigid to be slightly too restrictive and not appropriate for casual jeans Fridays at the office. I kept the subzero for weekend wear.

This is a very comfortable pair of jeans however it looks better in the picture, the only way I can describe what I thought as I took it out the box is that it looked old.

They look nice

I purchased two different washes of the 559 jeans, both in the same size. Andi and Blue Frost. Andi uses a lighter weight material than Blue Frost. Andi fit as expected but Blue Frost was at least one size too small, if not two.

Like all big and tall Levi's there is way too much room in the but and thighs. This leaves a very baggy look which is quite unattractive.

Held good color after a few washes, nice fix only problem i had is when i would sit they would slide down which a belt or a longer inseam would probably fix

Not as good as i had hoped for this HIGH Price!

Definitely not the color in the pic. Much darker. Where is the duster on the thighs? Not pleased.

Product description is inaccurate. Zappos says the Steely Blue is 98% cotton, 2% elastane. But the product tag says it's 89% cotton, 9% polyester and 2% elastane.

Did not know the jeans would be sooooo stretchy

This color is stretch fabric but that detail was not made clear when I ordered. I ordered the size that fits me but because of the stretch fabric they fit way to loosely.

These do not fit like the other 559s jeans, they run much smaller and the measurements seem incorrect.

These are the loosest jeans ever. The 44's fit like a 46/48. I'd stay away from the 559 series.

Length was too long and did not care for the color.

Finally pulled the trigger on a pair. They are super comfortable. To my surprise they material is very thin. Wore them 3 or 4 times and I already have a hole at the top of the back pocket. I expected a little more durability out of Levi's. And to be clear these are being worn for leisure. I am not working in them.

This pair was two inches shorter than all the same I own and the other I ordered with it

The stretchy fabric tends to over-stretch immediately and ride up in an unpleasant way. Every time I stand up, sit down, walk, bend...there has to be some major adjusting.
