Is the 511 slimmer than the 501?

Yes. The 511 is slim through the seat and thigh, while the 501 is a straight, roomier cut. The 511 sits below the waist rather than at it.

How much stretch do they have?

The fabric is a cotton blend with polyester and a small amount of spandex. It gives enough for comfort but is not a full athletic-stretch jean.

What inseam lengths are available?

Listings show 30, 32 and 34 inch inseams. Check the specific wash, since availability varies by color.

Do they run true to size?

Most buyers get their usual waist, but sizing is the top complaint. The same size can fit differently across washes, so check reviews for the color you want.

Are they good for warmer weather?

The cotton blend is mid-weight denim, not a lightweight summer fabric. The stretch helps, but they are best for year-round casual wear.

How does the 511 compare with the 512?

The 512 is a tapered skinny cut that narrows harder at the ankle. The 511 stays slim through the leg without that tight taper, so it reads more like a modern slim jean than a skinny one.

About the Levi's 511 Slim Fit Men's Jeans

The Levi's 511 is a slim-fit men's jean that sits below the waist and narrows through the seat and thigh without tapering as hard as a skinny cut. It uses a cotton-blend denim with a touch of spandex for stretch, plus a zip fly and five-pocket styling. It suits men who want a clean slim leg that still moves with them, and it sits between the roomier 501 and the tighter 512 in Levi's range. Owners rate it well for comfort and durability; the recurring complaint is that sizing shifts from one wash or color to the next.
