Like low rise 501's.... October 9, 2009

...without the buttons. If you're looking to bolster your jean wardobe with some slimmer fit low rise styles but afraid you're gonna come off looking like some Goth-punk rock-star wannabe who's so skinny they disappear when turning sideways ...relax ...those would be the "Skinny Fit" 517's not these. And if you're looking for some jeans that *don't* have "Relaxed", "Loose" or "Baggy" as part of their style moniker then these are the ones to get.
I would call these "sensibly-stylish-low-rise-jeans-for-the-more-mature-taste-crowd" ..."mature" in this case definitly *not* refering to beer belly and severe love handle embellished body types; consider these a goal for that weight loss or exercise program. They are also not the strict domain of the anorexic male model body type either; regular, non-gut bearing guys in halfway decent condition can wear these no problemo ...and look good. The waist sits lower than regular fit jeans but not radically so, they're sort of a mid rise ...no one's gonna be graced with viewing your choice of undergear or given a rendition of SNL's "Norge Man" routine when you bend over.
No matter your views regarding the modern day Levi Strauss Company, they *do* know how to make blue jeans that fit, are stylish and reasonably priced; the quality is still there. The 514's are called "Slim Straight fit" ...forget the "slim" part of it; they fit like Levi's 501's in the seat, thigh and legs with the leg openings the same size as 501's. I purchased a pair of 501's at the same time I bought the two pair of 514's so I had real time comparisons. The crotch on the 514 feels slightly higher than the 501's, but nothing radical or uncomfortable, and the cut of the jeans does help flatter the male anatomy ...your results may vary. If ya look good in 501's you'll probably look just as good, maybe better, in 514's.
Sizing of the jeans is a bit different; my usual 33x32 501 size translated into a 33x30 for the 514's. Shrinkage was not a problem in the waist (these were pre-washed) and the legs shrunk just a bit making them perfect in legnth for my taste. The only thing making these jeans better would be knowing they were proudly made here in the US of A ...like they used to be. My 514's were made in Egypt and Bangladesh ...hooray for the global economy. Okay, so much for the soapbox.
Do not fear the 514. In short, they fit great, feel comfortable and look good. Just like 501's without buttons.
comfortable for skinny guys. October 24, 2007

i have a waistline of 29" and finding a pair of jeans that fit me well is very hard. this jeans looks great on me and i bought 2 pairs and planning to buy a couple more. they feel so comfortable. remember that it is very important that you feel comfortable with what you are wearing. you cant be fashionable if you dont feel comfortable wearing it. it matches perfectly with everything as your top (polo, polo shirt, t-shirt) and matches well with slip-on shoes, sandals, casual shoes.
Levis 514 are great November 12, 2009

I used to wear Levis all the time but have drifted away. But now I'm back. I tried the 527 but I didn't like the boot cut. I've found 514. I have three pair now. The price at Amazon was great and I'm very happy with the look and feel of the 514. It seems the style now is low rise and I like the fit. Levis have made a great jean.
They fit well on the hips and are snug around the hips and in front and aren't too slim. They're kind of reveiling in front and that's OK. Unless you're really skinny the 514 will fit you better. I have the overhaul and the rigid. Watch out for the rigid because it will come off on furniture for a while. I'm into darker colors now and I'm very happy. Levis are still making a great jean at a lot cheaper price.
Great for the slender guy with a small tush January 24, 2010

I've bought dozens of jeans for my husband and they are all too baggy. All the jeans today are just big all over. He is a small frame guy and needs a slender fit especially through the legs and rear. He always wore Levi's in the 70's and they fit like a glove but now you just can't find that fit anywhere. These are as close to that as you will find. Not quite as slim fitting as the ones you wore in the 70's but pretty close. They don't look like he is swimming in them and they are not so peg legged his feet look like boats. He really likes them and will be ordering more. We bought the overhaul color and they washed great didn't fade at all or shrink. If you are a guy with skinny legs and no butt these will look great on you!
Good if you're thin February 5, 2010

I received a pair of these from my girlfriend about 5 years ago and I don't think I have worn a different style since. A few things to note, the different washes offered make them wear and hang differently. I have one pair that is the standard dark blue denim that fit completely differently than the hitch-hiker wash(The hitch-hiker fits way better in my opinion). Also, if you get a distressed wash like the hitch-hiker, you can expect a blown out knee in about a year, at least if you wear them a lot like I do. If you're thin and want something somewhat form fitting but not a cigarette legged hipster jean, these are it.
