levi 517 (slim?)

[kiahn]

Does anyone know why these jeans (levi 517) are advertised as having a slim cut? When I've tried them on they're enormous in all aspects even compared to newer 501's I own which are not advertised as being slim. I think I even tried some sized down. Anyone know what's up?

first off - their bootcut. which is all fine an dandy, but around here, most people aren't very partial to it. 517's were my first memorable jean, and i wore them to death, then gave them to my mom (she still wears them surprisingly). their not exactly skinny, but their not enormous, and if you're worried about the bagginess, size down. honestly, their not worth the money, i'd rather own a pair of H&M raw sliq's (which i do) then spend the same $40 on the 517's

Yeah, the 517 cut in comparrison to many other slim pants these days are by no means slim. The 511's are the way to go if you want slim Levis.

those are not very slim at all. if your looking for slim cut levis bootcut than checkout skinner rigids.

my experience with the orange tab 517's have been great. slim in the thigh with the higher rise gives a very nice profile. but thats as far as slim goes for the 517.
