Levi's Men's 513 Slim Straight Jeans

Just got these 513's in the Bastion color, which is a perfect Dark Blue, and so far I am VERY happy with them! They solved every issue I was experiencing with the 511's... Backstory: I have a friend who has gone completely "hipster" in his style these past few years and he recently decided that every groomsman in his wedding, which includes me, should adhere to the same trendy "hipster" (aka: "anorexic lumberjack") theme with tweed vests, moc-toed brown boots, as much facial hair as possible and, the icing on the "hipster" cake, Levi's 511 "Slim" cut jeans. Now, don't get me wrong, the 511s look great on him and really do work for his style. But he's 5'8" and 155 lbs. Those same jeans don't look nearly as attractive on my larger 6'4" 235lb frame. In fact, the 511s on me look like 510 skinny (aka: "hey little sis, can I borrow your pants?") jeans do on him. My build is quite average and I don't really have a belly or lots of "extra" padding anywhere. Despite this, the 511s were extremely tight everywhere and gave me a certifiable plumber's crack when standing that left me afraid to move in any direction. The 511s seemed to be a full size or two smaller in the waist than tagged, but a 38, which I usually wear in all my pants including my other Levi's, is the largest waist available in a 34" inseam without resorting to a budget-shattering custom order. What's more, the exaggerated "carrot" (big on top, small on bottom) shape that the 511s gave me made my wife laugh out loud when she saw them There was no way I was going to stand in front of 200 people looking that way! Enter the Levi's 513... This is what "Slim" jeans were meant to be for those of us who feel we need to shoe-horn the 511s over our feet, calves and thighs. The 513s maintain a very similar shape to the 511, but are about 10% more forgiving in all the areas that count. These are still very much "low rise", but I found the cut of the 513's backside to be far more comfortable and confidence-inspiring. It single-handedly erased the concerns I had over there being a "full moon" on the wedding night. The thighs and seat are snug and trim against the body like the 511s, but (at least with the "Bastion" version I received) the top half of the jean is much more conducive to normal human movement without sacrificing the overall "slim" appearance. The most obvious difference compared to the 511s is in the area below the knee. The upper legs definitely taper in at the knee, but do not hug the knees as tightly as the 511s. With the "straight" bottoms, there is far less taper through the calves and the leg opening at the ankle is slightly larger than on the 511, but not nearly as big as most other Levi's styles. Fortunately, my naturally thicker calves fill out the bottom of the 513s well and, as such, visually retains most of that "tapered" look of the 511 without being nearly as constrictive in use. All in all, I declare the 513 cut to be the "Slim" jean solution for the big guys. If the 511s fit you like denim-infused plastic wrap, give the 513s a try! And, Chris, if you're reading this, know that I still love you, your questionable taste in wedding outfits and your meticulously groomed facial hair. With the pants out of the way, I can finally look forward to the wedding with confidence that I won't look any worse than I have to! Conclusion: Levi's 513s ROCK! Highly Recommended!

I have never owned a decent pair of jeans. I am 31 and 5'8" and 190-200lbs depending on how much I work out. Larger thighs and wide ass. I have recently been wearing Levis 514s for the past two years or so in a 36Wx30L with the "stretch" / elastane in them. Well I had two pairs of those that I felt fit great and two that felt kinda frumpy when I wore them. Eventually the two I liked wore out in the inner thigh region and it was time to get some new jeans. I have been working out more recently and felt that I was swiimming in the two frumpy pair of 514s that I had.. . So I went to a local retailer Kh... and started to try on jeans. I started with the 511s to try them out and no way could I wear them. Way to tight on me. Then onto the good old 514s in a 34Wx30L however none of the pairs there had the "Stretch" feature. The pants fit however I felt llke I was going to rip the crotch out if I squatted down. I didnt even try the 514s in 36Wx30L because I wanted something more fitting on the rear end.. So I moved onto the 513s in a 34Wx30L. The majority of these pairs have the "stretch" quality which is perfect for me. They hug my thighs but are not too tight and they are a little more slim on the lower leg than the 514s which is a nice feel. When I squat down the jeans stretch a bit and I do not feel like I am going to rip out of them. Overall I feel like a new man in the 513s compared to the previous 514s I had. So I bought two pair at the retailer (only washes they had) and proceeded Amazon for more washes. I ordered an additional 6 pairs all 34Wx30L. After washing and drying on low heat the first two pairs from the retailer I can say that they did not shrink any if at all that I can really tell. They just fit really well. I am actually thinking about going to try on 32Wx30L at the store just to ease my mind that I am in the right size. I say this because after I brought the first two pair at the retailer I went home and actually measure my waist line with a body tape and my waist is actually a 36.25" according to a measurement yet these 34Wx30s fit pretty damn near perfect. Because of this I have not washed the additional 6 pairs I have received from amazon just yet however they all seem to fit well except one pair. The only pair I bought that was 100% cotton was the Blue Nirvana wash. They fit a bit snug on me compared to the other pairs with the "stretch" I may need to return them but I am going to hold on to them for a few weeks to see how they feel if I keep losing weight.. All in all I am pretty happy with the 513s. I even ordered Lucky 221 in 34Wx30L because no retailer seemed to have them in stock for me to try on. I would say they are comparable to each other with the 513s being slimmer in the lower leg. Update: After continuing to lose some weight I feel like these 34Wx30L are really more like 36Wx30L. I tried an additional wash and dry cycle on higher heat hoping to shrink them just a bit but they did not shrink any I could tell. I will be returning the additional pairs that I had purchased and going to try one 33W or even possibly a 32W to see what fits best. I feel like they run a bit large and a little saggy in rear end.

Love these jeans...Just as advertised and shipped quickly

FINAL VERDICT These jeans are the classic Levi’s that fit as expected and are very high quality; compared to any other place online, the price point (when there are price drops) of these jeans is outstanding. However, a couple loose threads at the bottom of the jeans make me worry about the longevity. DETAILED REVIEW: The Good: Shipment: The jeans arrived in a neat, undamaged box, with accurate shipping time. Fit: The jeans fit exactly as expected based on typical jeans sizing, for me. I got a 30x30 in the “Bastion” color – highly recommend the color for a classy casual look. Value: At this price point, this jeans are a steal. Watch out for intermittent price drops that make these jeans unbeatable. The Bad: Loose threads in the seam: After a couple uses, I noticed a couple loose threads in the seam of the jeans. I worry about the longevity but hope that a couple threads won’t cause an issue. Lint Attraction: A dog owner, this jeans do unfortunately catch a lot of dog hairs and lint. Not a total dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind.

Been wearing 513's for last 8 years. Was extremely disappointed to find out that they have been discontinued. Tried finding similar fit's with other brands, nothing even close to the 513 fit. I have big calves so the 511 does not fit , the 514 (which I used to wear before 513) I find a bit too loose. Last few years I was still able to find 513's at discounted stores like Winners/Marshalls and Ross in the States. This was the first time I was buying a pair of jeans online . I mean i know how the jeans fit but some reviews left me skeptical. Plus with levis there is inconsistency with fit and material as it depends on where it is made. That being said I was extremely happy with the pair I got . Fitted perfectly and material was great. Gonna stock up and buy a couple more as it is getting more and more difficult to find a pair of 513's.

El pantalón llego antes de lo esperado,se siente la calidad de la tela y el color del pantalón es un poco distinto a la imagen, sin embargo es muy bonito y el precio en Amazon es el mejor del mercado

vendeur sérieux le pantalon un peu gros sur la jambe mais je suis content

Tiene calidad pero la mesclilla me pareció horrible en cuanto al diseño, de calidad es lo esperado, mejor usar para trabajo y con botas, no es bonito a la vista y la tela parece de mercado, solo parece reitero

Levi's es mi marca preferida de jeans, esto debido a que son de los pocos que tienen mi talla (28x30, 29x30) y me quedan bien. Normalmente como muchos otros compro mis pantalones en las tiendas de Levi's o Liverpool,o alguna otra departamental, el principal problema que enfrento es encontrar la talla, el modelo y el color que quiero. Por casualidad se me ocurrió buscar en Amazon, y mi sorpresa es que hay todos los modelos que uso y que hay en mi talla, sin dudarlo mucho opte por el modelo 513 que uso normalmente y lo compré y debo decir que estoy contento al saber que me quedan perfecto. Realmente no hay mucho que decir si ya conoces la marca y el modelo sabes como son los pantalones, son rectos no muy ajustados, se ven bien. Por el lado de Amazon no hay mucho que decir, el servicio es excelente ya he realizado varias compras de distintos artículos, incluso importados y estoy satisfecho con el servicio, recibí los jeans al día siguiente (tengo servicio Prime y vivo en una de las ciudades donde hay entrega gratis en 1 día) tienes la confianza de que compras un producto original a diferencia de otros servicios en línea
