Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 514™ Straight

Great jeans - they fit like all my other 514s. The coloring is good, with no bizarre fading - the fabric is a bit thinner than my other 514s though.

I ordered a pair of 34x34, like I normally order, and when I tried them on the length had to have been 36 or 38 they were all the way to my toes. I returned them and ordered 34x32 and they were too short! I needed somewhere in the middle.

I love the 514 fit from Levi's and I like the styles the jeans come in too. However, it seems like there is a general problem with all pants of this color. Unlike denim, the material that's used for these colors seems to be like a magnet for dark lint and the like. So by the end of the day of wearing these it could end up looking like your pants are growing hair.

Love the color/wash. However, if you're like me and you like a beefier denim, these are a little more on the light side. Still, they look great and feel fine.

Overall I'm very happy with this pair. They look great, are comfortable and a great price. I'm pretty slim and like a slimmer pant but not something skin tight and these are a perfect balance. However, I sometimes find Levi's pretty inconsistent when it comes to sizes. I've seen a pair or two much longer or shorter than another of the exact same style and size so I think they sometimes suffer a quality control issue. Also...I wish on dark wash jeans that the brown tag in the back was dark, not there or more subtle. The big tan patch can look distracting especially if you tuck your shirt in and have a belt on top.

I wear these daily. Also have washed or dry cleaned them. Do wrinkle a little if you sit a lot. Little iron and they are good. I own 3 pair now. Used to be a fan of the 527 Levi's. These are now my favorite. 6ft at 165 lbs. 33x34 is perfect for tucking in a shirt. Length is good. I did get 1 pair that was way off size. I think that is just Levi's so if they come in short try same size again first.

Great pair of jeans! I am about 5'11"and 185 lbs and I used to wear the 569 style but the 511s are so much better. Even though I have big athletic legs these pants fit me snug but not too tight or uncomfortable. I will definitely be buying more in different colors!

I know about vanity sizing, but do we need vanity sizing charts? The 35" waist size is 38 actual inches out of the box. Levi's sizing charts said 35-36 inches. With an actual 35 inch waist, I'll return these and try the 32".

They feel great, and have a great style to them. They were a tad tight in the thigh which is why I bought relaxed fits as well. Overall, I'd order the relaxed fit, but if I saw these in store, I'd buy them.

Comfortable. Slim fitting. Might want to check for correct length upon receiving!

I own about 6 pairs of these pants in different colors. I bought two pairs of this color at the same time stock up. My only complaint is that the two pairs differ considerably. Not only in fit (which is understandable and often happens) but the material feels very different. One pair is more coarse (like a regular jean material) and the other pair seems thinner and lighter (almost like a light linen). I like both pairs, but the difference is definitely noticeable. FYI the light "linen" pair is the anomaly judging by my previous 4 pairs of these 514's.

These are getting harder and harder to predict what actual size you are actually going to get. I've purchased 3 pairs in the last year or so and they all come in fittingly wildly different. So buyer beware. Otherwise, I've worn 514's for a long time now and I will never buy a different style. Great look.

These are my first foray into skinnier jeans. I have always been a loose fit guy. I feel that these are a bit constrictive up top, but I'm sure that's just me. As I noted in my 505 review, there are some "color" choices in Levis that are actually stretch denim, but there's no way to tell which ones they are on Zappos. You have to cross-reference with the Levis website. I've never worn stretchy jeans, and I'm returning the 505's that ended up being stretchy, but I may purchase a pair of these 514's in a stretchy "color" and see if I like them better than the non-stretchy design.

Pros: So far so good; they match the description given my Zappos. Pretty soft. Cons: Not a lot of room in the crotch area.

I'm 5'10" and 170 lbs in the 32x32. A good fit. My daughter, who with a little head wiggle goes "yuh hah" a lot, likes them on me.

These have more of a khaki feel than a jean feel. I just didn't know that when I ordered them. I thought they were going to be a heavier material. But they are nice and comfy to say the least. Very soft actually.

I was very hesitant to order after doing some research and finding that Levi had "renamed" these straight. I worried that they were no longer a slim sizing. They are still slim sizing. Good fit for a 14 year old with long legs and rather skinny. He loves them and we haven't found any other brand that fits.

Very comfy and more stretchy than regular Levi's I have. Will order again but a size smaller.

Jean material is a bit stiff. Great color, nice fit (not skinny jeans but not super fitted either - true to slim/straight style). Color hasn't faded or rubbed off on anything that I've seen yet, I washed them twice before giving to my husband to wear.

Fit was smaller than I expected in the waist. Although some others I have of the same size fit well.

Was a big 527 fan. The 514 is a perfect pant you can still wear with boots. Some of the stretch fabric fit ones fit big but the normal fabric fit true to size.

I like these pants a great deal. The fit and style is good, I wear a 32X32 and these were true to the specs. I've bought Levis for years, but this was my first foray into their slim stuff after I dropped a bunch of weight recently. Only drawback: the fabric is pretty thin and I don't see these lasting too long, but I am comparing them to old school 501's.

Comfortable and good, trim fit. First pair ripped at front seam (at the fly zipper area) which was embarrassing but replacement pair has had no problems (yet).

Great fit and style for the price. Slim is a misnomer as the fit is straight without the "relaxed" feel. True to size and length and waist sits just below hip.

Being on the slim side, or should I say, stick size, regular fit jeans end up just too baggy for me. But these fit very well and are comfortable. I got the indigo wash and just a word of warning - they are much darker than the photos. But overall, pretty satisfied.
