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

Own multiple pairs of 513's. By far, my favorite jean for the price. I've noticed however that thickness varies from one jean color to the next, as the couple pairs I own in black are noticeably thicker and feel a bit stiff. I do not wear them if I plan on being more active or in warmer weather.

The fit is perfect, I feel like a model when they are on.

I have another pair of these jeans and the fit really different. Same cut, but different feel. I still like them and will wear them. It just odd that they don’t fit the same.

These pants would be fantastic if the fit were consistent. Problem is that each color seems to be made in different countries and fit differently. Frustrating because I can’t identify the color of the two I bought for my son so that I know which is the one that fits. The other is too small. Both are supposed to be 33 30.

Fit a little big but that’s the cut of this style

Like, but too big.

Great Levi fit. Comfortable, good stretch, quality fabric, and well built.

Ordered 2 different washes as Christmas gifts for my husband. He wears a 32 x 30 and has a very muscular build, especially in the legs. If this sounds like you, pay attention to which washes have stretch in them, which I neglected to do! The Blue Stone wash has stretch and fit him perfectly. The Bowman Lake does not, and he could not get them up over his knees. Wish Levi's would consistently make the same style with the exact same fabric content across the board, but oh well. The pair that fits him is well-loved.

The good... I am tall and skinny so these fit me very well. Trim with just the right amount of loose around the butt and legs. There is enough flex that I can move easily and have room around the waist for "lunch". The fabric is lightweight denim. If you are looking for a durable working denim this is not it. What this pant does is look good cause my bride said so. The bad... They are not made perfect because the crotch to butt seam does not line up straight. Line up the butt seam and the zipper is off to the left. I ordered another pair of the same with much better fit results.

They fit well and feel pretty much like cotton denim even though there is a small amount of synthetic fiber in the fabric. They are slim through the thigh and legs, which is what I was looking for. I don't care much for the selection of styles offered by Levi's in the 513, but maybe I'm just too old.

Not too tight, not too baggy. The color goes with anything.

Fit and color are spot on. The lower leg is a little too wide, but it still works. Still current, but a little different than the tapered leg I usually wear.

As of this date (October 2018), I guess this review really won't matter because online chatter indicates Levi's 513 has been discontinued. They fit my fairly thin thighs and butt much better than the other Levis (and Lee) styles that are increasingly made for fat people (and apparently for increasingly fatter people). A couple of comments though. I am not quite thin, but I eat good food (i.e., not crap), so I am slim. I am a cyclist, so my legs do have some tone, not just bone. A 31 x 34 would fit me better, but Levis does not even make this size. No, it's not all about me. But I know people who are thinner than me, and I find it hard to believe that Levis can't make some money from sizes in the thinner range. Not ALL of their clothes have to made for fat people. Second comment: This is personal taste, but the description says these pants are straight from the knee down. I really don't think this is right. I didn't want nor buy 'skinny' jeans. Yet, these pants are constantly caught on the tops of my shoes heels and behind the laces. Did any designer try these before they put them on the market? Okay, a third comment. I admit I don't buy 'designer' jeans because I think anybody would have to be nuts to pay a lot of money for mass-produced denim. And in that vein, you can go many places and buy many styles of Levis for 30-something dollars. So why are the 513s either $60 or $70? Yes, they undoubtedly sell fewer of them than fat jeans, but c'mon, they just change the computerized sewing machines' pattern to run 30,000 pairs of 513s instead of 505s or . . . (albeit, in varying sizes --but that is true for all of their jeans). Having said all that, because there are limited options for slimmer people, I probably would buy them again and in fact, I have already. Apparently, this will not be an option for long though.

Levi’s are still freakin awesome. why spent $200 ???? these were super comfortable cuz they stretch so they move with you. Can’t mess with the classic style.

Not slim enough for me but very classic style and great quality

Overall I am satisfied with these jeans, the fit in the legs and butt is very good...if Levi's make a similar fit that sits above the hips I would love to know what is, I would be a big fan!!

I would not say that these jeans are slim, more just like a straight leg jean. The odd thing is the length was a little long. I have worn a 32 length for a long time, and they are always a perfect fit. These are longer, I put them up against other Levi's I have and they are longer by 2 inches. Maybe they will shrink as they are washed.

The jeans are a little bit too baggy for me.

I'm glad that I can still get reliable, affordable jeans. There's nothing surprising here. The quality what you should expect from a pair of Levi's. The color matches what you'd expect from the photos.

These jeans have a very nice modern cut, the color is perfect, and the price is fair. My complaint about the jeans is they stretch out very badly after only a few hours of wear to the point where they feel a bit baggy around my waist. I believe this is due to the lycra / spandex in the material, at least on this specific color. I typically like to wear a pair of jeans for a few days in a row and I don't think I can do that with these.

The 513's are perfect for the person that wants something stylish but doesn't want to do the "skinny jean" look....especially if you're not a kid anymore. I used to wear 511's but after a few months, they'd stretch out and get baggy. These jeans will be tight when you first get them, but after a little wear, they fit great and I receive lots of compliments on them!

Fit well, good quality
