What's your go to Levi's fit? 😮 Check out the ultimate guide to Levi's where I review 30 PAIRS of Levi's jeans: th-cam.com/video/mKQoRQc8iSs/w-d-xo.html
Your best looks were in the 501s & 502s in my opinion. This video was helpful. I was gonna go for the 541 but didnt know the premium version had virtually no difference to the 511
505 looks great here! Which then adds to the overall problem with Levi's fits - they're inconsistent and forever changing. Seeing the differences in the various 505's in your videos alone makes me think it's almost too much of a gamble with Levi's fits.
501 93s are a total fastball-down-the-middle, grilled cheeseburger, 2-minute punk song: just a no-nonsense classic that can't be argued with. I've had a pair for a year and love them. They've broken in nicely--waist stretched a bit, denim softened, and it seems like they have conformed to my leg shape while still leaving some room for movement. I just bought a 2nd pair on sale to keep as a back-up.
I have been a Levi's guy all my life and the button fly jean is PERFECT for me! As a famous comedian once said "That's the one part on my anatomy I don't want near interlocking teeth!". Also, I'm an older guy with a little extra on the waist. Now that the untucked shirt is acceptable I can leave the top button open if I need to and no one will be the wiser! I have numerous 501's but the light stonewash is my favorite, fits and looks great! I'm 501 4 ever!
Appreciate it! On the Levi's website, it is labeled in the name. Also most of time you can instantly tell that it's premium if it uses a thicker leather jacron patch.
As someone who has worn 501's throughout the 90's and actually own a pair of faded 501 jeans (Made in USA) from the 90's, I would say that the 551Z 1961 jean is a more accurate representation size wise of an actual 90's 501 jean.
I bought my first 501's in 1992 and I loved them, they fitted like bootcut. Then I bought again in 1994 and they were larger in thighs and narrower at the hem. This kept me away from 501' until this year. I see now they are again like those from 1992. BTW I still have those 501's from the 90s but not my size any more :( They are Made in UK (1992) and Made in Poland (1994).
First of love all your vids. Thank you for them I am more into Japanese Denim now but also had one last question. Can you please tell me how the details of your chain? (Length, karats, mm). I am looking to get one and I think yours looks perfect. Thanks
@@MensFashionFiles I watched the rest of this week’s post too. I’m legitimately stunned your chain looks that big. I 100% thought it was at least 3mm thick. Thank you so much for this reply and your videos. Loyal supporter for life ✊🏾
The 514 fit well and are comfortable, but they do not look or feel like regular demin. The look and feel is more like what I would expect with chinos. This is disappointing, because I have a pair of Levi's 511 gray jeans that are denim in look and fabric. I purchased those in 2019, and I was expecting something similar with the 514
NEED HELP! 🙏🏻 Can someone suggest an all-black LEVI's or Hollister jeans for me, please? I am a mid to big fit on the hip, a regular thigh and a slighly bigger calves with a slim ankle. I am 5'6" and like to wear my jeans below my waist(below the belly), and need something that has a high rise on the back(hip side) so the jeans doesn't slide down too much when I sit. My usual JEANS measurements: Back hip-crouch - 13” Front raise - 10.5” Hip - 41.5” Thigh - 23.5 to 24” Leg Opening - 14” 1/2 In-seem length - 28.5 to 29”
I got a 514, earlier, and the fit through the calves and thighs was comfortable, but the leg opening was a bit too wide(could have been a 7-ish, instead of an 8-inch opening). But the hip was where the issue is. Its an okay(fitted/hugging) at the widest part of the hip, but when I sit on a chair, it slides down significantly at the back(a bit too much, to be honest).
The 501s are great when you're in High School and don't work for a living, but with as many year in the market I expected more. I need a comfortable pair that's designed to last for manly activities! I have countless numbers that wear out over the wallet back pocket and in the crotch. Am I the only person this happens to? Don't even get me started with super skinny jeans. Bring back the complete button fly, toughen up on the obvious wear zones, and while I have your attention, a little flattery in the seat to keep up with women in leggings wouldn't hurt either. Go with black labels so people don't read my size from 50' away.
These videos are a great idea and super helpful, but, you measure a bit low on the thigh, skewing the results of an often neglected measurement. The thigh should be measured an inch below the crotch seam and directly across to the edge. Great content otherwise.
My b, I tired to be as consistent as possible with my measurements but hopefully it's not too off. Here's my measurements: Height: 5'10 (178 cm) Weight: 160 lb (72 kg) Hip: 38” (96.5 cm) Thigh: 23.25” (59 cm)
I noticed the 514 premium fits a lot different compared to the non premium version from that video you mentioned. Im planning to release a video next week showcasing both premium and non premium fits. Stay tuned

levis 505!
Hands down the BEST Levi's jean guide out there!
Thank you for this educational video! I prefer the 501 and 514, as they fit perfectly. I used to rock the 541, but I haven’t been athletic for ages!
Thank you for all the looks of each cut, very informative, but a costly exercise for being indormative. Thank you once again.
So very informative! Thanks so much. I am especially glad to know to size up a tad on the 501 original fit.
Just bought 555 Premium, thank you for review!

501 93 is by and away my favorite 501 outside of the LVC line.
So the 501 slim taper is the exact same as the 502?
How about talking about LVC and levis selvedge denim jeans...
Can you do all Hollister jeans next? Great vid btw
I have one pair of Hollister slim/skinny jeans and they are better than Levi's.
I’m a woman that wears guys Levi’s… THANK YOU for this video! Super helpful!! 👏🙌🏻🩷
How can you find out online, if it's a premium line jeans or not?
Great video btw!!!
Appreciate it! On the Levi's website, it is labeled in the name. Also most of time you can instantly tell that it's premium if it uses a thicker leather jacron patch.
No 517 bootcut ??
Would you be making a video about their selvedged line?
Thanks for the video

Sounds like you have a fantastic denim collection!
Its all about the ball comfort!
yea!

Thanks for watching. Here are my chain details:
14K yellow gold, 450 mm long x 1.5 mm thick chain, Pendant is 16.5 mm x 20.5 mm x 2.5mm thick

@@MensFashionFiles is it a rope chain or Franco? Once again thank you bc I’m looking to purchase something this weekend.

Try the 541 or 502. It has a similar fit from the knee up like the 514 but slimmer leg opening.
Anyone know some good denim brands besides Levi's?
True Religion
Wranglers are more durable but may not be as stylish.

Is where 555 Premium?
ah there's a 555 premium now. I didn't see it on the website when I was ordering the jeans a month ago
These videos are a great idea and super helpful, but, you measure a bit low on the thigh, skewing the results of an often neglected measurement. The thigh should be measured an inch below the crotch seam and directly across to the edge. Great content otherwise.
Edit: adding your own measurements at the beginning would help as well
My b, I tired to be as consistent as possible with my measurements but hopefully it's not too off.
Here's my measurements:
Height: 5'10 (178 cm)
Weight: 160 lb (72 kg)
Hip: 38” (96.5 cm)
Thigh: 23.25” (59 cm)
Очень хороший обзор. Мои предпочтения это LMC 502, 502 original и 501 original. Мой размер W 40 L 34
Хороший выбор. Мне тоже нравятся джинсы 502.
In "COMPLETE Guide To Levi's Straight Fit Jeans!", you said 514 is the best Levis straight fit?
I noticed the 514 premium fits a lot different compared to the non premium version from that video you mentioned. Im planning to release a video next week showcasing both premium and non premium fits. Stay tuned

I love how you talk about your balls situation! 🤭🫣🤪
Most important part of proper fitting jeans that no one talks about!
