Thoughts on Levis 511?

[altwaev]

These stretch like mad in my experience. I'd definitely get as snug a fit as possible, don't wash/soak, and let them stretch out for 3-6 months. After I washed they tightened up again, but after wearing for a day or two stretch out again.

cool, thanks. hopefully i'll pick em up tonight

is "soft rigid" the raw/darkest wash everyone has been getting? I need some jeans for work, and macy's has them cheap.

thanks.

I'm planning on getting 31x34. I'm actually getting these to fit looser than my other jeans. I have 31's in April 77's and need something looser and to beat up at work.

Anywhere else has them cheaper than $36 at Macys?

What is a good site I can get a pair of raw 511's from?

[thizisit]

^ nowhere, raw 511s don't exist as far as I know, but you can get soft rigid at Macy's as people above you have stated

discounted store like ross sell them less than $20, and sometimes urban outfitter has it for half price

i tried on a pair of the 1966 super skinny reissues the other day at the levis store in chicago. the fit was very similar to the 511 but with a slightly higher rise and the old orange tab/thread. they were more rigid than the soft 511's but a bit softer than raw. almost like a 1 wash. they only had a few sized left when i was thier.

only two sizes left here http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150590&cp=3146842.3146844.3146854.3146919

they also had these metallic brown jawns that were more interesting in person.

I went to Macy's and got a pair of what I think are the rigid 511s.

They had a weird thing stitched on the back of the waist like this picture. It says Levi's in block letters.

The back thing looked like the one in this picture. It was just brown and did not show the cut or sizing as a lot of other Levi's do.

Did I get the pair that I wanted? I'm pretty sure it's one-wash denim or something. Because along with it came a little tag that said to wash it as little as possible to preserve the dark dye. And to dry clean if needed. The jeans themselves are pretty dark and some of the indigo has bled onto one of my white t shirts. So is my pair legit?

[whatuknowaboutthat]

..... you mean the "leather-like" patch? Im pretty sure you got a "legit" one.. not a lot of fake levi's 511s to compare to..

Yeah, they're legit. Levi's came out with a new waistband tag design fairly recently, that's all. They also updated the leather-like patches on some models to look more like leather and less like paper.

The top one is not the rigid 511 or the one wash either.

The rigid 511 is one wash, but the top one look it has been wash multiple times already.

The rigid 511 i bought before has no fading at all.

by they way, the one that is in urban outfitter are leather patches

[whatuknowaboutthat]

no levis models have leather patches with the exception of the LVC line, capital e, and select 501s which were deemed "premium" 501s.. imo, the new patch design that makes it look more "like leather" looks like shit, i like my 511s with the standard paper stock patch

[robbie]

I like the 511 twills quite a bit.

I haven't owned any of the jeans yet. But I like the cut/fit of them, they are the best jean offered by Levis Red Tab currently IMO.

[thomass]

agreed, these are really good for the price.

[.max]

I guess I could go get some last pictures of mine. I'm at about 11 months now, three washes. They won't be getting as much attention now that I have my PBJ's though.

[Milky_Madison]

Pics would be great.

[whatuknowaboutthat]

size 29x32

id say these have a good 7-8 months of wear in. No wash, no soak

[Milky_Madison]

Wow those are nice.

I think I kind of messed up here guys. I used a seam ripper to cut off the "leather" patch on the back of the waist line. It looks great now, from afar. However, upon closer inspection, you can see tiny holes where the thread that held in the patch once was. Like, if you held up the jeans in light, you would be able to see exactly where the thread holes are (I'm just trying to give you guys a relative size). Anyone have any solution to making the fabric expand or something?

[lycan]

spray some hot water. it usually does the trick with mine

[Jackboot]

yeah - once you wash the holes from the thread will dissapear.

[ChaseDizzy]

it doesn't matter
