Levi's Men's 514 Straight Fit Cut Jeans (Seasonal)

UPDATE 9/2023: I finally had to wash these, and was sad to find that they do shrink in the wash. So the 30 inch length that was perfect for me before washing is now too short. They're also less soft now that I've washed them. I will order a new pair in the 32 length and try to get the length tailored since they aren't offered in a 31 inch length.Seriously, finding jeans like these is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It's virtually impossible, so it feels almost miraculous when it does happen.I have decently large thighs (from cycling and other things), and calves, and a decent size rear. Most men's jeans are too straight, so they're too tight across the thighs (showing pocket lines and underwear lines), or too saggy in the butt, or the legs are just plain too tight, or they're too baggy and look messy.I'm a tall, muscular guy with a decently athletic build. I don't claim to be a model or anything, but pants shouldn't look as sloppy on me as they tend to. I shouldn't have to pick between pants that fit like skinny jeans and pants that make me look like I have absolutely no sense of fashion (i.e. the infamous baggy, shapeless, "dad jean" fit). I see tall, muscular guys in movies and tv shows that have great fitting jeans that complement their muscular builds without looking like skinny jeans, and I think to myself "people love this look, so why can't I find that pants that fit like that?"It turns out, pants like that do exist. These Levi's 541 Athletic Fit pants in the Native Cali color fit, feel, and look amazing. They're beautifully manly pants, without being too "cowboy" or too "hip". They're very neutral, allow you to wear them with leather dress shoes, boots, or sneakers, without looking too weird.The fit around the hips/but is great, with enough room for them to sit where you want them to (not low-cut skinny jeans or saggy hipster jeans), so you shouldn't have issues with "plumber's crack", as long as you get the right fit and wear a belt.The fit around the thighs is also great. Depending on what size you order, they have enough room that they don't show pocket lines or underwear lines, and unlike many pants, they're actually cut in such a way that if the pants fit well at the waist, the thighs aren't too tight. These come in 1 inch sizes, you can experiment to find the right fit for you. I find that both the 36 and the 35 waist fit me well. The 35 I do fold up the pockets to avoid pocket lines, and that size gives me more of a "custom-made for me" look. The 36 has a little more room, so the lines aren't an issue so far, but they aren't quite so fitted, but they also aren't straying into "dad-jean" territory.I also love that even though they have extra room in the seat and thighs, they aren't too tight in the calves, OR too wide and shapeless at the ankle. As I mentioned, my legs are different widths at the thigh, knees, calves, AND ankles, so finding jeans that fit ok in all places is incredible. The fit being right at the ankles makes for a nice modern look that can work with a variety of footwear. If the ankles were wider, they would splay out at the show and give more a bootcut or dad-jean look that doesn't look good with sneakers or other snappy fits.The one downside is that the length varies. I had to buy two pairs of the same length to find one that fit right. The other pair was slightly too short.I haven't washed these yet, and I'm reluctant to do so until I really have to. It's possible that doing so will change my rating. But right now, they fit perfectly, and the color is so black that I can wear these with a formal black vest and a button down and it looks great. I'm sure the dye will fade over time the more I wear these, and then they'll become more casual-wear jeans. But for now I love these just the way they are.

I buy these when they’re on sale, and even then, they are still not cheap, but I think they’re a solid investment. They retain their good looks and fit quite well, even after repeated laundering. I like that they are on the lighter weight scale, and they allow for free movement without getting all stretched out. When I find pants that fit, I tend to buy multiples, so I have several pairs of these and pretty much only wore this style of pants this past year for casual wear. I only bought them in black, so I don’t know what the other variations are like. Watch for sales and grab a pair!

Okay, listen up guys, these Levi's Men's 541 Athletic Fit Jeans are the real deal! I've been on the hunt for jeans that give me some breathing room while still looking stylish, and let me tell you, these jeans nailed it. The athletic fit is a game-changer for dudes like me with more muscular thighs. I finally found jeans that don't feel like I'm wearing a straightjacket around my legs!Comfort-wise, these jeans are on another level. The fabric is stretchy enough to move with you, which is awesome for active days. Whether I'm running errands or having a casual hangout, these jeans never hold me back. Plus, they're durable as heck. I've been putting them through the wringer, and they're holding up like champs!Let's talk style – they got that classic Levi's look that never goes out of fashion. They go well with pretty much anything, from a crisp button-down to a relaxed tee. And you know what's even better? The color doesn't fade away like some other jeans I've had in the past.All in all, I can't recommend Levi's Men's 541 Athletic Fit Jeans enough. They're a game-changer for dudes who need some extra room without sacrificing style. These jeans fit like a glove, move like a dream, and keep me looking good no matter the occasion. If you want the perfect blend of comfort and style, these jeans are definitely the ones to cop!

Fit is true and style is great. The6 fit well and have worn wonderfully.

My hubby is a very picky, Levi only wearing, man and the style he likes no longer comes in his size (what's what up with that Levi & co???), so I have been buying random styles until we find one he likes. These are bootcut, which is a must, they fit well, look good (from this wife's point of view), but the material is so thin, as a flatbed trucker, he will not be able to wear these to work. They'll be tore up the first day. They will work for "good" though.

Bought these jeans for my husband because he has so much trouble with the length. He needs 28 and you cannot find them in stores. The jeans were perfect in size in every way. They are very comfortable he said. He will definitely buy them again.

You just have to watch price as it fluctuated between $25 and $70 in 3 days I got them for the lower end.

They are a little tighter than normal and the fabric does not tend to cherry. keep this in mind when ordering. But they are Levis all the way down the middle of the street!

Great quality material and workmanship

I had my doubts about the fit before I ordered it. I was wrong! Perfect fit!

I haven't ordered clothes online before, and I would always get nervous if I get through hassling with returning items because a product is defective or not what I expected. As soon as I put on these pants, they were perfect. It seems I know my size well enough. Considering my thighs are "thick," these pants managed to fit me comfort and stretch wise. The good news is I am planning to shed body fat, so these pants will be future proof in the long term, hopefully. I will send another review if anything changes, but for now, I am perfectly happy with my purchase.

Good quality at a fair price.

I like the most
