Customer Reviews Levi's® 511™ Slim

I have bought these same jeans at a department store, same size and style, but these are slightly different, for the worse. The red tag on the back is changed, the Levi patch is a different (and tackier IMO) red, and worst of all, the waist is quite a bit larger. And they're super wrinkled, like all of Zappos jeans apparently are before they're mailed out. Nowhere on the Zappos listing does it indicate these are some different version of the rinsed playa 511s. Even the barcode numbers for the department store and Zappos jeans are the same. But there are two different numbers on the back inside tags. On the department store pair this is 4100213632, then 8022701300262 below that. On the Zappos version it's 4100218515, then 4129401400224. For all I know, those are unit numbers that are different on each pair. But these are not the same jeans. If I didn't know the better department store version was out there I would have kept these. As it is, they're going back.

Bought 2 of these Levi jeans for son who is 6'6. Fit well however not denim...more spandex and this has NO reflect on Zappos it is Levi using cheap material and higher or same price.

At first the jeans were awesome! They fit great and were exactly what I was expecting... and then I washed them. I followed the wash directions on the tag and still the jeans came out about 2 inches shorter in length and fit completely different. Just beware, and by beware I mean don't wash them!

Bought these in 29W32L because they were the same style number and size as another pair that I really like (Levi's Mens 511, Slim/Skinny Fit, Hybrid Trouser). I thought they would just be nice to have in another color. These pants, however, fit completely differently, in that they don't. If you are a eunuch, these pants might be for you.

The anthracite color is actually waxed black which after only one washing has faded into a weird off-navy blue color. Also, this wax treatment makes them pick up stains very easily that cannot be cleaned off individually. If you try to dab the stain off, you're left with a weird halo stain because of how the waxed layer interacts with water. I normally never wash my jeans -- I put them in the freezer in a ziploc bag sprinkled with baking soda -- and I'm afraid this pair will require repeated washings.

The "rigid gray" don't really look great. I agree with a previous reviewer that each pair of Levi's fits a little differently. I found that the "Anthracite" pair fit great, so I kept those.

I wanted to get on the skinny jeans bandwagon, even as a 40 year old, I like to keep up with trends. I thought the dark color would make these conservative enough to wear on work on casual days. However, this style was really to young looking for me and not conservative at all. I am tall and thin, but these were really "skinny" and tight through legs. I felt like I looked like an aging rock star in these. From the picture these don't look like really stretch-slim jeans but in reality, they are. These are better suited for a younger trendier guy. The color was nice, and they appeared well made though.

I've had three pairs of these now, and they're great while they last. Unfortunately, they don't usually last long. My latest pair developed holes within 8 months! Cheap, but I would expect even cheap jeans to last longer than that.

I bought these for my husband. He wears the same size (36) in Levi's and all his other jeans. So I ordered his size (36) in these 511s but he could not even get them around his hips. That was weird. They run very small and slim, I guess. I am giving three stars because the size is not accurate. A waist size is a waist size. Back they go!

My son measures at a 26" waist and could not zip the size 28. Had to send them back. The Levi's 514 fit him well.

For as much as I love Levi's, I absolutely hate them. I have over 6 pairs of these in the same sizes but different colors, and each pair fit's COMPLETELY different. Every part of the fit is different, too. Some of them fit extremely tight, others are perfect, and others are extremely loose, some of them are high-waders, some are way too long, and some fit perfect, some are like corset's, some I need a belt, and again, some are perfect. It makes it really irritating spending as much money as Levi's are and having to guess how they're going to fit, even though you have 10 pairs in your drawer. You think with as large of a company that they are they would put more emphasis on trying to make every pair as similar as possible to eliminate the guessing game. But when you do get that perfect pair they are extremely comfortable and look great, which is why I continue take the risk.

I usually wear size 32/30. Reading other reviews, I went ahead and bought 33/30 instead. They are too tight and uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis, and now I just wear it in case I have nothing else to wear. I do like the style of these jeans so I think I will go from 33/30 to a 34 or 35/30 just to make sure they fit me. I am not that tall but I am fit, by the way.

These are way different from other 511s we've bought in stores. Too skinny and stiff, sizing is off. Way too small.

Washed before wearing, hung to dry. When dry had white streaks behind knee on both legs. Rewashed, did not go away.

These fit great but the photo doesn't show that the stitching is white which gives them a strange western look. Sent them back because they weren't what was pictured or expected.

Definitely order 2 sizes up! I'm generally a 34x30 but could not get into these jeans even with a shoehorn. Also, I wish Zappos/Levi's would give them straightforward color names or describe the color names more accurately. Colors on computer monitor can vary a lot. What the heck is Clean Dark or Dark Tunnel?

Love the color more of a mustard than yellow. Couldn't wait to try them on. Unfortunately when they said "skinny" they meant skinny! Couldn't get them over my butt! I'm a size 8 women's so figured a size 30 in men's should do the trick. Not! I'm not sure exactly what size will work. Good luck trying to fit these beauties.

Washed before wearing, dried on Perm Press and even though they were removed from dryer right away they came out with deep wide wrinkles. Had to press with steam iron. Hopefully they will soften up as time goes by. Also, don't care for the ironed in wrinkles at the back of the knees. Otherwise they are good style.

I'm normally 32/34, but these run much longer than a normal 34. Style is great but just be forewarned on the length.

If you are a thicker person (thighs and gluts) that is trendy and likes to wear skinny jeans, these are not the most comfortable, they were longer than a 32, and they are kind of stiff even with the 1% spandex, the bottoms are also not tapered very well like most skinny jeans.

Argh! I went looking for 100% cotton jeans, since the stretchy ones get too hot in the summer (plastic weave will do that). These were billed as 100% cotton, except for certain colors. So. . . I ordered Sanibel State, which is NOT listed as one of th not-100% cotton. They arrived. They fit. They look as good as jeans can look on me. But. . . they are 70% cotton, 28% Lyocell (whatever that is) and 2% Elastane (aka plastic). Bummer. Maybe I'll keep them and just wear them in winter. The quest for 100% cotton continues. But I guess I'll have to shop in person, since this item was not accurately described on Zappos.

Beware, the Bee Eye version are STRETCH jeans, run very large. Not listed as stretchy in the description, I ordered a pair to replace a pair of 511 Bee Eye jeans bought a year or so ago, which are not stretchy. The new pair measured 1-1/2 inches wider in the waist without the big stretch available. Also had large washed out sections on front of thighs. Returning for a smaller size, hoping the color is more uniform.

The 30" inseam, which I always wear in Levi was too short.
