@@vincenthooi1363 I have my seamstress replicate the original hem, which she is very good at, so as they wear they look right, I hate seeing jeans shortened with the wrong colour stitching and too large a hem, it reminds me of when my mum used to shorten my jeans as a kid.

So informative and brilliantly put together - bravo!

I’m in the same boat, as I use to prefer the 511s, but recently picking up the 512s has made me realize this is my go to pair of jeans. The fit is more clean, as you can pair it well with boots and sneakers with no break.

The 512 is the best of both worlds of 510 and 511. It's basically a 511 from the knee up and a 510 from the knee down.

Same! I also go for 511 and 512. But I've been liking the taper of 512 nowadays; I feel it's more modern. My last 2 purchases were 512, so I feel It's going to be my go to jeans from now on.

I'm 62 5ft 8 and a half 125-130 lbs. Thank you for teaching me new things. Was not sure which style of jeans work best... now I know. Thank you.

Thanks for this! Always wanted to see all the Levi's compared.

I'm definitely a 511 guy! Thanks for this Levi's overview, Brock! It was very informative.

thank you so much for this video, Brock! Incredibly helpful and useful

Very informative and helpful comparison video! Thank you!

Thank you.That was useful & clarifies many a doubt.Very clear & precise. Thank you bomce again .

Levis 512 with no break is my fave jeans style, just as you mentioned..

Great video! Levi’s is my favorite jean brand. Very informative. Thank you.

I don't usually comment on KZread, but I so appreciate this video. Very well information and just love to finally find someone around my same weight which helps a ton for me. Been following you for awhile now and love your videos. I just really want to say thank you!

Good choice, absolutely stunning jeans.

I have a light and dark pair of both 511 and 501s. 511 I wear basically everyday with slimmer footwear (converse or casual sneaker). 501 I pretty much only wear with boots. Something to note, 501s have the classic button fly which I love. 5’7” 175lbs 32W/30L athletic build if that helps anyone!

The 512 looks great on you!❤

What mean by 512

Awesome comparison vid 👏👏👏

Super valuable to see the difference like this. I would love seeing this style video of yours for J.Crew Chino fits.

Im going with 511 and 512. 512 in black for a clean look and 511 in dark blue for more relaxed days. Thumbs up for your video.

Great video, very helpful thank you

Also to keep in mind that I have the 511 in a black wash and a light wash and I also have a pair of 511 Premiums that almost fit like a straight fit compared to the regular 511s. They make the regular 511s look like a skinny fit.

i've noticed with Levi's overall the fit is all over the place for even the same model of jeans. I recently bought two pairs of 541s from the Levi's website and one pair fits perfect while the other pair fit's baggier and the waist is too big, and both are supposed to be the same style and same size. The quality of Levi's has gone down the drain since they became popular again, and while the quality has gone down the price has went up. I remember years ago when a pair of Levi's cost $35.00 and now it's $50 - $70. I know part of that price change is due to inflation but it's also just because they are popular and Levi's knows people will still buy them even with a higher price tag.

Great video... awesome comparison. I've wanted to do this but it seemed to time consuming to do in a dressing room. Thank you!

Levis 501 93 is my fav out of all , fits me perfectly.

I wish they made jeans progressively larger with longer inseam... I'm 6 foot with 20 inch thighs and 501s look very slim on me.

Great video! Ordering those jeans are so tough because no two pairs fit exactly the same even if the fit is the same.

Dude, love seeing you in jeans and a white t shirt, never looked better!

I tried the 502s today and am very happy with the fit

I got the 512 in 30-inch inseam for a little to no break! Same wash!

This was very informative. 👍🏾👍🏾 for sure

Great Video, very helpful. Thanks.

Loving this video and your take on the iconic brand that is Levi's. It's so true - they're like the Coca-Cola of the denim world! With so many styles to choose from, it can definitely be overwhelming trying to find the perfect fit. Your video does a fantastic job of breaking down the different styles and providing valuable insight into which ones work best for different body types. I can't wait to see more content like this!

I could never find jeans that fit me until I discovered stretch denim. Now I prefer the 510s with stretch. They hug my waist, which other jeans do not, and I like the snugness through the thighs and calves. We are both about the same size. I'm 5'4", 120 lbs. My favourite look is a pair of dark-washed jeans with a crisp white dress shirt and black double monk straps.

Thanks for this vid. Always wondered what all the # variations would look like side by side. 👖

502's & 505's are my go-to for Levi's. When wearing 505's, I recommend hemming them 1-2 inches from your normal inseam size. Wider pants can compliment different outfits & sneakers and help ya get out of your comfort zone.

The 512s are phenomenal and look great with chelsea boots

Should have tried a smaller size 501. Also the 512 look great on you this is exactly how a jeans should fit!

Great review, thanks. I think the 513s would look good covering the top of boots or any boot-style athletic shoe.

very informative video 👍 Thanks man!

Great review

I'll be 63 very soon. Had stopped wearing jeans when I was 23, and never Levi's because I couldn't afford them back then. However, three years ago, after a life-threatening episode of pneumonia where I was hospitalised, I somehow got interested in blue jeans. Specifically Levi's. And "real" shoes. How did these come about at this ripe age? I don't know. But my wife was encouraging, and so I've gotten a few pairs of Levi's since then. The first was a conservative, playing safe, Made in Lesotho 505. After decades wearing only office pants and casual khakis, the 505 felt thick. But surprisingly it was very comfortable. In fact, during a second bout of pneumonia late last year, I chose to wear this when hospitalised (covered by blanket so that the nurse wouldn't ask me to change to "patient garb", until the second day). I also bought a second pair - a Made in Egypt 511 Slim Fit. I didn't know how suitable it would be on an early 60s guy (about your size). Asked my wife for her opinion at the fitting room, of whether I looked ridiculous. She said "Not at all", and that's the clincher. If everyone else in the world were to say otherwise, I wouldn't care. Because her opinion outweighs them all :) Just last week I bought another two pairs online via the Levi's official store during the "9/9 Sale". At 60% of the normal price. Another 505 and a 502 Taper Slim. Both are Made in Vietnam and of the same denim material as far as I can see and feel. This 505 isn't as comfortable as the previous store-bought pair though. The 502 is actually the main thing I wanted to talk about, to keep in line with this video's topic after the long background :) I love the look and feel, and this appears to be the most suitable for me. Taper is the sweet spot between the roomy 501 & 505 and 511 Slim Fit. I will certainly go for this cut with my next pair of Levi's. -- Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

We have the same body type and same waistline (29), and I also go for 511 and 512. But I've been liking the taper of 512 nowadays; I feel it's more modern. My last 2 purchases were 512, so I feel It's going to be my go to jeans from now on. Thanks for this video. It feels good to be kind of validated when it comes to my style and choices.

add 502 pls, love ur vid man !

Thanks for a useful video. I have a hard time finding the cut and color I like in stock with Levi's so I often move on to something else. Is it time to bring back pegged jeans? I think you could pull it off.

Thanks. The 511 suits me.

my go-to use to be 511s but I gained muscle in my legs and some fat, lol on my waist and 511s now just fit to tight in the thighs for me. I had all my jeans packed away for summer and when I unpacked them this winter my 511s ended up fitty like ultra skinny jeans. I decided to go with 541s and I like them although they are a bit to baggy for my liking so I'm going to try some 531s and see how I like those. I just ordered 3 pairs after watching this video.

512 Slim Taper is everything

For me i ‘m a 502 guy my fav jeans i always rock

This is such valuable information for me as our heights are identical. Thank you so much.

I only wear 512 love them

Amazing work.Super basic outfit and light so we can just focus on fit. its insane how different jeans look on different body types. When i wear 501 - 502 i have similar look to 510s u wear. Was so weird to see you wearing 501 and lookd like trash bag :) Brands should add videos like that for each body type. 100x more helpful than a basic picture.

I agree, brands should have this sort of detail on their product pages. It would cut down on returns/exchanges!

Over the past few years the knees wear out so quick that I cut pieces of an old pair and glue it inside behind the knee. This happens regardless of any heavy labor. I was considering selling them to teenagers since most of their jeans that they just bought are shredded and full of holes already

thanks

You forgot the 502, do you have a review on those?

501 is most comfortable jeans with 100% cotton I love my jeans that sit on my waist Its more comfortable than sit below jeans 511 with cotton ployester mix is my second favorite that is most comfortable and stylist look

The 510s were perfect 👍

Good video! I don't think the 513s are available anymore... they were my favorite! What I find very frustrating with Levi's are the discrepancies in fit and rise depending where they are made. Another thing to consider is the sizing of your jeans. It can give the cut of the leg a different look. In my case, 5'6" in shoes, 182 lbs (not fat 😉) but 33 inch waist. 513s are just a little looser in the legs than the 511 which I also wear.

I always wear 511s but looking for a looser fit for chunky trainers as all my jeans are slim ... didn't hate the 513s for that purpose.

I like 511, 512, 541 and the 505 which is actually looks slimmer than the 501 when you hem it.

I used to own a pair of 512s, now I'm replacing them with 511s to try something new. The first thing I've noticed is that the 512s have much bigger pocket entrances. Maybe its just because my old pair was worn in, but I can barely fit anything in here XD

hi, what's the difference between levis 512 slim fit vs levis 512 tapered fit? which one is less skinny?

512 & 511 what I choose for comfort?

511s for me. Something to keep in mind though, is that Levi's uses different fabrics for different washes, so the fit may not be the same. In particular, they change the ratio of cotton, lyocell and stretch. Not long ago I bought a pair of 511s in a similar wash to what you have here, and I had try several pairs before I found one that fit how I wanted.

511 slim for me. 512's were too tight below the knee and the waist sizes seem 1 size smaller than what I wear in the 511 slim.

I used to buy 514 but they dont really sell them anymore they told me 511 were the only similar but they fit me to skinny only 2 colors fits me perfect not to loose and to tight do you recommend me 512 ?

This would have been the perfect comparison video if you had included Levi's 502s.

I don’t know, Brock. I could be set in my ways, but if you asked me which pair looks the best on you I’d say the 510 skinny, and it’s not even close. If you sized up on the waist for comfort and hemmed to a no break or a quarter break they’d be perfect. Just my opinion.

Please can you tell me the brand of your slip on shoes that you wear ?
