Levi’s are to jeans are what Coca-Cola is to soda. They’re what Nike is to sneakers. When you think of the word “denim”, chances are you think about Levi’s Strauss. This 170 year old denim manufacturer has more customers now than ever before, which is why they offer so many different styles of jeans.
And while it’s nice to have options - slim, skinny, original, athletic taper - it can be hard to choose the best fit for your body, especially if you haven’t tried them all on for yourself. So in this video, I’ll try on 8 different pairs of Levi’s jeans, from 510s to 505s, to show you how they fit. Then I’ll let you know which ones are my favorites, and which ones I’d recommend for you.

🧍🏻My Sizes
I'm 5'6" with shoes on and about 125 lbs after dinner. I have a 35" chest; I usually wear XS tops and 28x28 pants (or 28x30 cuffed).
My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom.

Iv worn 30,30 501s always forever, lately iv noticed 30,30s are to long ?
Do you keep the original hem when hemming your jeans?
@@vincenthooi1363 who me ?
@@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.
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.
So informative and brilliantly put together - bravo!
thank you so much for this video, Brock! Incredibly helpful and useful
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.
Very informative and helpful comparison video! Thank you!
Thank you.That was useful & clarifies many a doubt.Very clear & precise. Thank you bomce again .
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.
Yes kings 5i2 is top of d line for me as wellI had a few 511 but I carried dem by my seamstress to bring them to d same fit as my 512 😅
512 is my fav too !
same,I fucking love the 512s
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.
really good vid man, thanks for the info
Awesome comparison vid 👏👏👏
Great video! Levi’s is my favorite jean brand. Very informative. Thank you.
Levis 512 with no break is my fave jeans style, just as you mentioned..
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.
Super valuable to see the difference like this. I would love seeing this style video of yours for J.Crew Chino fits.
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!
I don't usually comment on TH-cam, 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!
Thank you, sir! 🙏🏻
Great video, very helpful thank you
Great video... awesome comparison. I've wanted to do this but it seemed to time consuming to do in a dressing room. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review
I've been wearing the 512 Slim Tapers for the last 3-4 years. I have them in 5 wash/colours. I luv them.
Good choice, absolutely stunning jeans.
Great Video, very helpful. Thanks.
This was very informative. 👍🏾👍🏾 for sure
The 512 looks great on 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.
I just love the taper silhouette..my go to are 502 and 512..
Dude, love seeing you in jeans and a white t shirt, never looked better!
Great video! Thank you for addressing that we are all shaped differently! My personal preference is the 541 since I have more room in the seat and thighs ❤️
Thanks for this vid. Always wondered what all the # variations would look like side by side. 👖
I got the 512 in 30-inch inseam for a little to no break! Same wash!
very informative video 👍 Thanks man!
Glad it was helpful!
I tried the 502s today and am very happy with the fit
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.

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!
Thanks, Keith!
@@BrockMcGoff Thanks for your reply, Brock. I have been following your TH-cam vlogs for some time now. I love your content. Is it OK to ask if you can include in your next videos the bags (backpack, travel luggage, slings, etc) that you prefer to carry to keep you stylish? Keep sharing more Brock! 👍

Great review, thanks. I think the 513s would look good covering the top of boots or any boot-style athletic shoe.
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.
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.
Should have tried a smaller size 501. Also the 512 look great on you this is exactly how a jeans should fit!
Great video! Ordering those jeans are so tough because no two pairs fit exactly the same even if the fit is the same.
This is so far the best comparison video of Levi's jeans.
I am 5'5 at 150lbs, the 512s and 513s are my go-to's for wear, and have them hemmed for a no-break look.
What size you use and get them hemmed to? I typically go 32x30 but get mine hemmed to 28.
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.
very good comparison of levis jeans
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.
510, 511 and 512 are my favourites because they have the best fit after washing.
511 have been my go to jeans for past 8 years or so.
I love the 510 the color doesn't fade, martial is a bit streachy and nice fit.
the video i didn't know I needed :(
Great job Brock! I'm definitely stealing this video idea
Looking forward to seeing your take on it!
Thanks Brock!
add 502 pls, love ur vid man !
The 512 looks good on you Broc
hey if i may ask, what is the width of the thigh area for the 541s and 505s? i'm someone around your height and i really dig the look of both of those jeans but i have pretty big thighs so i'm wondering if they would fit me or not. thanks
Just discovered the 541. If you lift (and don't skip leg day), these cannot be beat.
I take the 511 slim in 2 sizes bigger on the waist. Works best for me with trained legs and a big b.
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.
I find it difficult buying Levis nowadays, their sizing is all over the place.
You're not wrong there. Within the 511 line, I wear 3 different waist sizes, depending on rinse/style.
It's the same with pretty much all denim: look at the waist measurement (not the size), rise, and whether or not the style is unsanforized, sanforized, dark or light wash to make your decision
Perfect Review!
512s are my go-to.
Same here
Same
Got a pair of 512 Selvedge on sale over the holidays. My favorite pair in the rotation!
Gay.
What mean by 512
Thanks. The 511 suits me.
Moved away from Levis as I couldn’t find the fit I wanted. Lee ‘Luke’ jeans are perfect for me.
I’m also a 512 guy . And if you do remember I commented on your old jeans try on video that 512 would look fabulous on you . Thanks for such a good content. Stay stylish as always 💙…
Good call!
This is such valuable information for me as our heights are identical. Thank you so much.
Great and informative video! You missed 502 taper though. I'm pretty sure you will like those.
Its roomier on the thigh compared to 511 but with smaller leg opening.
I have the 511 and just bought 502 Taper last week. I love it!
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.
hi, what's the difference between levis 512 slim fit vs levis 512 tapered fit? which one is less skinny?
Hi Brock, great video. I like your style because our body size is similar so it applies to me. I like those shoes you are wearing in this video, can you please tell me the brand and model? Thanks Mike
I love Levi’s 512 tapered. It fit perfect for me.
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
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 ?
excellent video. i actually have the same waist as you, between 28 and 29. so this video was made for me!
Please can you tell me the brand of your slip on shoes that you wear ?
You forgot the 502, do you have a review on those?
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
For me i ‘m a 502 guy my fav jeans i always rock
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.
did you try the 531s yet?
@HannyDart No what are they? Athletic fit?
@@marcthibault8723 yep theres a 531 athletic fit version... not availably in europe tho..
ive been cycling a lot during the summer and now that i cant wear shorts anymore i found my pants to be way to tight arouht the tighs.
Apparently the atheltic fit option is only available in the states. real bummer. ive been searching around and found really good looking jeans/pants that have the right proportions but you just cant by them in europe. 🤡
527's my favorite! 👖
512 & 511 what I choose for comfort?
I only wear 512 love them
What wash did you get the 531 and 541 pairs in?
Thanks 😎
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.
512 Slim Taper is everything
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!
The 510s were perfect 👍
Great video Brock. Perfect timing as I have been considering buying 511 or 512 jeans. Personally 512 is my preference. However, would you say both are timeless fits? :)
Yes, both are timeless! The 511 might be a bit more timeless since amount of taper is subject to trend.
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.
Very nice show. Please, what name of your slip on shoes that you wear in this video ? Thanks in advance
511 is ideal
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 like 511, 512, 541 and the 505 which is actually looks slimmer than the 501 when you hem it.
thanks
Thank you
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
yeah that's weird because the 512's and 511's are supposed to be the same from the knee up. 512's are basically 510 from the knee down and 511 from the knee up
"Bigger" guy here who found and loves the 541s thanks to this video. Thank you, Brock.
Dope video
thanks!
You’re my height so this video is fantastic for me! lol I’ve been on a crazy Levi’s kick as of late, and this video really helped me (I’m 30x30) 👖
What is the inseam of jeans you ordered?
For me, with shorter and thicker (muscular) legs and 30inch inseam, I much prefer the 511. Suits me perfect, and works great on the motorcycle, as you get wind flapping on loose jeans. 511 all the way for me. Though I haven't tried the 512, and I suspect my calves will not appreciate them lol.
