Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 541 Athletic Taper

I not true to size for me. I normally wear a 38 waist and the 38 in these were substantially larger. To the point of falling down.

I first tried these jeans on at a Destination XL store. I loved the feel and the stretch that these jeans had, but I did not like the wash of the jeans with the whiskering and faded knees. The store clerk told me I could purchase the same jeans online, but in different colors. I came home and bought two pairs in Rigid Dragon. When the pants came...well...the dragon wasn't the only thing that was rigid. These jeans had absolutely ZERO stretchiness like the same brand and style I tried on in the store. Same size, same brand, same 541 jeans, but wildly different fits based on the colors. I managed to get them on and they were so uncomfortable and stiff -- well unlike the jeans I tried on in the store that had enough stretch for me to high step. Very disappointed in these jeans because I had heard such glowing remarks about them. I just wish they fit the same regardless of the color.

These jeans are described as adding more room in the seat and thighs. That isn't correct. I put them on and they are like skinny chick jeans. I put them up to a pair of 559's that fit very well... and they are significantly smaller. Athletic Fit should be SKINNY LEG

Service from Zappos was excellent as always, however these Levis are garbage. Too bad, because I like the idea of an athletic fit. Fabric is thin, stitching is terrible. Worst part, however, is the inconsistency from pair to pair. I have one pair I like well enough for the fit and price, so I ordered a second pair in the same size. They are smaller overall, and about an inch shorter than the pair I recently ordered. I returned them and could order another in the hope that maybe this was just a "bad" pair, but come on. A little quality control in the Bangladesh factory that makes these, please.
