Wonderful fit, very good quality and yet another amazing amazon delivery

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

I usually have a hard time finding good bootcut jeans with the right fit in the retail stores. If the color/wash/fabric is right, the size isnt. If the size is right, the fit is too loose at the seat and thighs. Now that my favorite pair of jeans is past its prime, I started looking for a new pair to replace it. After hunting all stores in and around my area and trying all available bootcuts in my size, I was very disappointed. That is, until I found a pair of Levi's 517 Blue Ox in the local Macy's store. This was the first bootcut I found in the last 3 years that fit me perfectly. Since I already had a pair of jeans that was of a very similar color, I came online and started looking for the correct color in that fit. Unfortunately, it wasnt that easy finding one online. Kohls, Dillards and others had Levi's 517s, but they werent the same ones I saw in the store. Apart from Macys and Amazon, no other site (including Levi's own site) had the same fit in Rancher Light color I was looking for. I could have ordered at Macys website, but my past experience with Amazon was stellar and so it my first choice. Even then I was a little skeptical if the photos were close to how the jeans looked in reality. Since amazon had a free returns on this one, I went ahead with the order. The product, as always with Amazon, came 6 days ahead of their estimated delivery date. The jeans is, in fact, very close to the pictures on the website and the fit is PERFECT!! Thanks to Levi's for the perfect color and fit and KUDOS to amazon for the perfect shopping experience!

Levi 517 used to fit

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have bought and worn Levi 517 for the last 45 years and would wear no other brand. Ever since they went overseas quality and sizing sucks. I used to buy them two sizes to large and wash them a few times and they would shrink to fit. Now when I order them I order my size and sometimes they are to long,the next time they are to large in the waist or both. Other tomes they are to tight and to long, shrinkage may or may not happen. Any vairable is possible. They are priced as designer jeans and the product has become third rate. I am going to find a brand that has quality control. Levi has sold out.

Somewhat long and I'm somewhat disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Somewhat long and I'm somewhat disappointed. Since I couldn't find a pair of Levi's Men's 517 Bootcut Jeans in any stores around here I decided to try to buy online. I ordered a pair of 40"W x 30"L (the size I've been buying in stores for years) in a "Rinse" color. The waist was accurate but they were too long. They measured 31" though the label said 30". (So much for quality control). I had hoped to buy a couple of more pairs after getting these but no longer will. Because they don't fall under the "Free Returns" policy, I'm just going to hang them in the back of my closet in case of emergencies. Buyers beware.

Great innovation! Returning to the original SEVEN belt loops!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I always had to keep pulling up my previous pairs of Levi's (any model) because they only had FIVE belt loops. A key ring and cell phone are not that heavy. I remember growing up with Levi's having SEVEN belt loops and a heavier canvas. I was pleasantly surprised to see the 'new' Levi's 517 now have seven belt loops again. I started to buy a different model, but they still only have the five loops.

I just bought a couple of these pairs from Amazon. I did check online at Kohls and their current batch of 517's still show 5 loops. I will have to wait until I go to the store to see if their stock has been updated. Kohls prices are higher than Amazon, but I will recheck when they go on sale. I still check Amazon first for almost all my purchases.

Overall, I like my new Levi's jeans. I will compare them with older ones to see if the canvas really is slightly thinner. Outsourcing manufacturing almost always results in poorer quality and non-standard sizing. It has 100% results in putting Americans out of work. I try to buy American whenever I can--hopefully it will catch on.

There is another issue appearing after I washed my new jeans with my old ones. It shouldn't have made a difference, but the new ones are now covered with fine fluffy hairs. I will have to use a lint brush when I take them out of the dryer for now. Although it may just be a 'break in--first washings' issue.

Overall, I rate these jeans 4 stars. I will have to wait for a few machine washings to see how the color holds up. I may be old fashioned, but buying jeans looking like they are 1/2 wore out or have holes in them is 'less than optimal'.

Great fit,...maybe not so great quality

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought these jeans for my husband. He has worn 517 for more than 30 years now. He loves these. He did mention that the fit was a little different this time. The leg is a more trim fit. He has very skinny legs so he liked that. He also thought the material was a little thinner, which would work for him for his summer gardening. he never wears shorts! After wearing these jeans only twice, two small holes developed out of nowhere in the front thigh of the jeans. I am sending them back, but am going to order a replacement. Perhaps this was just a fluke. I will place an update later on.

Great jeans, first time customer

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

These came a little long, maybe an inch or two. Seeing as many others have noticed this is a problem with this fit, I suggest going one inseam size lower. I ordered a 30" and they fit more like a 31-32". Other than the sizing, they are great jeans, and still look great on me. The boot cut allows the extra length to bunch up a little around the shoes, so you don't really notice it. It actually looks good.

I wish they sold these in a low rise version, as I don't like hiking them up to where you might put dress pants or khakis. They stopped selling the 517 in a low rise though, so I'm happy to wear them as is, great fit.

Height does not correspond to the size of the product

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2012

I feel disappointed with this product levi's, in many occasions I have bought this brand of jeans in my country and for amazon and I never had problems with the heights, they all have come perfect, but this product not come correctly, my height is 34x 32 though these trousers have this marked height, is not correctly. this one is too small and I have others identical of the same height and model and I still have them excellent, I feel disappointed by this purchase. I have ten jeans of the same brand of diverse models 34x32 and I still have them correct, this one not. The height marked in this jeans is not real.
