Levi's Men's 512 Slim Taper Jeans 30

Good fit and quality. Ordered two pairs as I wasn't sure on my size. The surplus pair was easy to return and the refund, less postage was quickly back in my account. **postage is covered if you exchange rather than refund but I needed the item at short notice so got both pairs knowing one would be a refund and just took the postage hit.

Great jeans but sizing odd.

Good quality jeans with a nice slim cut but not tight. The sizes are a bit different though to other makes. The waist comes up large and the leg short. Luckily I tried a pair in store before ordering on line. I am slim and 6ft tall and normally a 32/33 but went for a 31/34 which fit perfectly. Order a waist size down and a leg size up is my recommendation.

HORRIBLE QUALITY CONTOL & RETURN POLICY

The quality is HORRIBLE for ONE of the TWO pairs ordered!I’d give ZERO stars if that were an option! They were NOT pre-torn, we didn’t want that. ONE pair essentially MELTED (no other way to describe it) in a cold water wash and low heat dry. The other pair was completely fine. Have to prewash in order for son to wear due to super sensitive skin… which made it so everyone is saying they cannot be returned. I have to jump through hoops now with the warranty department to ‘hopefully’ get this rectified. It’s NOT looking good for us, according to the customer service gal.

Just ok. Disappointed though.

I found that the jeans are made nowadays hey so loose all the time, and right away.. starts about an hour into wearing the jeans it gets so stretched out, it’s like my butt is hanging down the floor…. They turn into old ladies skin. I’m disappointed. I highly doubt Mr. Levi Strauss would stand behind the quality of jeans. nowadays.

Levi don’t hear, care or consider

I’ve been buying 512’s for years. Love the shape and need 32W 36L.Couldn’t find the colour I wanted so I settled.Shape remains good.The zip however, is ridiculous. Always has been. I use a key ring and thread it through the zip, link it over the button to hold up or my chicken pops out of the coop. Ya know?These jeans remain the best for me as home jeans.Can’t even order my required size online or in shops.

Levi letdown

Bought my first pair of Levi's in 1975 when I was 13 years old. I've worn Levi's ever since. About 20 years ago when Levi's in California stopped producing the genes, the material changed dramatically. I will still buy the 501 or 505 jeans, they just don't fit as well as they used to. I tried the 512 jeans which said they were 99% cotton. Once I received them, they were still the stretch type material. The pockets on these jeans are horrible. I purchased the 511 as well at one point, and the pockets are horrible on them. They do not maintain their shape and flip open. It would be nice if Levi's produced a 512 jean, that is 100% denim cotton, like they use to do.

One star is too much

One star is too much; however, it is the least I can choose. I know these reviews are pointless because Levi's doesn't give a penny to look into their mess and make some changes. Once you pay £100 for a pair of Jeans, you expect professionalism, which is not there anymore. I ordered a per of512™ Slim Tapered Jeans Rock Cod 31W x 30L, and I received something weird: 32W x 30L on the back of them (orange ish back label) and another paper sticker with 31W x 30L; also, the PC9 label was ripped off. I'll add some pictures for more clarity.

Quality comfortable jeans

Bought for my husband who is very happy with them. As expected from Levis these are a quality product and a particularly good fit for a slim legged man. Although Levis are more expensive than other brands they always last a very long time and are worth the investment.

Shrink in wash + poor quality control

I love the 512 cut and fit and have worn for years. Unfortunately, on trying to purchase several new pairs this year I have found very poor quality control with some jeans arriving with obvious stains, or inconsistent sizing being too short or too long. I've returned about 10 pairs and have only managed to get 1 decent pair that fits despite being all the same size. I have also had very significant shrinkage after washing a 512 'Biologia' pair that is no longer wearable and have had to return. Whilst sizing has always been inconsistent I feel is very poor currently with low quality fabrics that shrink or have reduced wear time. Must do better!!!

They'll do.

Finally a pair a Levi jeans that fits shorter guys. They are a lighter weight denim and will probably not last long but at least the fit is better and the zipper seems better quality. I would never pay full price for these but on sale ($35) they'll do. My wish is for button fly 512s.
