Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 513™ Slim Straight Fit

I didn’t know that the Bastion color choice was stretch. I assumed they’d be just like rigid or rinsed blue denim. It’s not that big of a deal, I guess.

There comes a time when you tire of trying on jeans in a JC Penny. When you find one perfect pair of pants that fits so well, and is so sturdy that you wonder why you ever bothered to own any other pants at all. You make a life long commitment to these pants, and just order a whole bunch of them in different colors. These are those pants. Found them a couple years ago, and have never looked back.

I'm picky about how I like my clothes to fit. I've got an athletic build (i.e. round butt and big thighs), so finding pants that fit and have updated style can be challenging. I've bought a few pairs that fit at the top and looked like bell bottoms, and a few that looked great standing up but wouldn't allow me to sit down (cough... Guess ... cough). I honestly hadn't even thought of trying Levi's, but a couple of the reviews convinced me to take a chance. The slightly stretchy aspect help them fit a little closer at the top without compromising movement and keep the bottom slim enough to be in style. After I wore these for a day, I ordered a second pair in a different color.

May be best to try these on at the store. Very hard to find the right size as they are all very different.

I love these jeans. This is the first time I have bought pants online due to the fact that my thighs are fat. I read everyone's recommendations and chose one size lower than what I am used to and it worked. What I loved the most about it is how comfortable it is. It is huge recommendable.

Really enjoying these jeans. I would reiterate the other reviews that you get a size down, though. The stretch will accommodate. I had to return the first pair I got and go down a size.

Great dark blue denim, this version has a little stretch for comfort. Slim fitting but not skinny so it works for a dude my age. You can even go down a size due to the fabric. Overall a great looking jean, my new favorite Levi fit.

I bought my husband 4 different washes of the 513’s. They all fit different. Ended up sending them all back despite this fit being his favorite, they’re just not the same or consistent like his current pairs.

I like these a lot. Good "traditional" blue denim color and slim fit, but plenty of elastic so they move well. I normally wear a 36/32 but I get these in 34/32 (one size smaller in the waist) because they have so much elastic. If I get these in my normal size, then they wind up very loose after wearing them for a while.

Levi sizes are very inconsistent. Always order a 32 inseam and get pants either too short or too long.

My favorite jeans got a stain, so I ordered two more: identical color, size, and style. They came wildly different - different from the original pair I was replacing (2 years old) and also, different from one another! One pair was at least an inch longer than the other, one had much wider thigh, etc etc .... not sure I can recommend these. They’re wildly inconsistent and impossible to predict if you’re getting the size you’re asking for.

High quality jeans

The fit is perfect. Fits through the rear and even though they are a slim, the leg room is perfect. Husband loves them!

Own multiple pairs of 513's. I think they're the perfect cut and value, however they seem to vary depending on color, as my couple pairs in black are noticeably thicker and feel stiff. For this reason, I do not wear if I plan on being more active or in warmer weather. Will continue to buy.

Worn Levi jeans my whole life (45 yrs old). I like to change styles every couple years to stay with current trends. These are slim cut Jeans that work great for an, ahem... shall we say, not so slim guy. I love the look and feel of these jeans and own a few colors. I’m 5’10”, and weigh in between 210 and 220 lbs (depending on winter holidays). I also prefer to wear my jeans and dress pants low on my waist. Tailored dress pants: I wear a 40” waist. These jeans are perfect at 38” waist, and 30” length (and I prefer a longer inseam / half to full break in dress pants with shoes). Worn with casual boots the 513 should give a nice full break covering your socks, but not appearing sloppy. Love these jeans!

Fit and size were perfect. Great look!

I love these pants. Great fit. Sit well at the waist and sit on my boots perfectly.

Perfect pair of jeans.

I've recently shaped back up, dropped some weight, and discovered Levi's 511s and 513s. Both of these slim cuts are more flattering than the slim fits of some other brands and are more comfortable, cut trimmer and casting a slender profile without cutting, pinching, or binding. The 513 straight legs fit over Western boots better than the 511s without looking stretched over the boot tops. I live in the Mountain West where I am engaged in civic and business affairs and need a bit of a dressier appearance, so I settled on the 513 colors (including this Monogray color) for my dressy jeans. They are rugged enough and easily maintained so I can wear them from a meeting out to check a trail, road, irrigation ditch, or erosion problem on the way home. My only quibble: I wish Levi's made the 513s in a 30x34 because the 32-inch is just barely long enough for me to wear with Western boots, and I'm no towering giant. The Monogray works well with a variety of colors in tops - white and blue Oxford shirts of course, plaid shirts, Navy sweaters, and Navy blazers or blue denim jackets to dress down a touch.

Levi's Mens 513 is a very stylish and comfortable jean. Thank you very much!

My husband liked these jeans because they are mostly cotton, not a lot of polyester which does did not wear well, and they fit comfortably. He even ordered 2 more pairs. They fit true to size.

Get one size bigger.

Great jeans for casual wear. Have a stretchyness to them that makes them fit just great

These pants run extremely large! My usual size is 36×30, I just returned them for a 33×30. I would suggest trying these on at a store before you purchase them online.

513 are my favorite slim to wear with boots!
