Men's 517 Bootcut Jeans

Levi's Good quality ratings. Fits great

I have lived in 501's since the early 70's. Comfortable! back then, Levis came out with a flared bottom, but was not bell bottoms, but were wider than 501's. they were not todays 517's. They were skinnier or tighter at the knees, and wider at the bottom,but that was the fashion back then. I love 501's. My 'thing' with them was the bottom opening was always so small. ok for tennis shoes, but for wearing boots, they were too small around the ankle, making the entire boot look too long. simply because they were so narrow, the could not go down any lower on the boot. hahaha I love to wear black biker boots, with a taller 2' heel for easier shifting thru gears. these 517's are wider at the bottom, so the jean bottom rides lower on the boot, only exposing the very top of my round boots, so it looks sexy for a guy. I have had a lot of compliments from mostly women. they seem to like that look for themselves, most people like a smaller foot / shoe profile. The 517's fit the hips, and butt better too. My 501's always make my butt look flat, these give it a little better shape. I work out, and do leg squats, so my butt is not flat! I wear the boots and jeans to work on our 'lax day' Friday. Monday thru Thursday, its business casual, at least for us in the office. This last Friday, I was walking thru the front door, and some guys were kidding me " wheres the guitar?" " you look and dress like a rock star!" hahaha I love my lighter blue 517's! the combination of the lighter blue jean, with black leather boots looks tough, manly, and sexy. I still love the 501's, for pure comfort, but these 517's are in a league of their own. Thanks to Amazon, the price is great! OH- size is different! !!!! my 501's are 34x34. I had to exchange 517's until I found the correct fit due fitting higher on the hip, and longer at the legs. my 517's are 36x32. sounds weird, but a few guys I ride with, who also have 517's say the same thing. one size UP (waist)and one size DOWN (length) from a 501.

For years I wore the same jeans to work. Wrangler 34x34 boot cut. Over the years they fit a little different but they worked well and fit somewhat the same every time. When they changed to flex denim I quite buying them. I hated the feel they felt baggy loose and low quality. I bought some Arizona jeans a few years back that worked great but could hit the time to buy more cause they were out of stock. So in come Amazon. Tailored I'm a 33x33 so for years I've bought 34x34 because that's the most common size for your average guy. These fit great. They might be a little tight in the crotch area but with a few washes and any 100% denim will stretch a bit they're fine. We also don't dry out jeans and hang them up inside to dry so that will help with them shrinking. The rigid is a raw denim as they say and it's not been washed. I work a factory so that's perfect, they feel tuff and industrial and seem like they will last a long time. They are dark in color they will bleed in the wash so beware of that. I would soak them a few times before washing and be sure to keep whites out. You also have to be careful of streaks. Like detergent getting on it and they having some discoloration from that. Not a big deal for me but if you want them as dress up jeans I would pull them inside out as the wash instructions say to try and prevent that. I did buy some of these in the rinse color from a local store. They are the same color and fit exactly the same but they are washed once before they are sold. So if you don't want that stiff raw denim just get the "rinse" color. In all they fit exactly the same because you will wash the rigid and will be become rinsed so to speak. In all I hope that they don't change these jeans. It's kinda hard to find 100% cotton denim. I just don't like the flex and blended denims and just want stick to one size and one brand. I did buy there 527 bootcut and they are nice too but the denim is much thinner. I bought those for my non-work jeans. These 517's seem like good work jeans that hopefully will last a while.

I usually wear a 30x32 in my shoes and a 30x34 in my cowboy boots. I ordered one of each, and when they came in, the 30x32 fit perfectly, but the 30x34 I couldn't even pull up to my waist. I measured them, and they were actually a 27x34, though they were clearly marked as 30x34. I immediately sent them back and ordered another pair, but went to a 32x34 because I wanted to wear them with an undershirt and a button-down shirt, so with the extra layers, I thought it would be nice to have just a bit more room, and prevent the muffin top that could happen with additional layers. Now, the 30x32 fits perfectly. However, I decided to order a 32x32 pair so I could wear two layers of shirts more comfortably (I kept the 30x32 because they also fit well with one shirt tucked in). The replacement pair of 32x34 came in along with the 32x32. I opened them up, and I noticed the 32x34 sat higher on my waist than the 32x32. They fit okay, and the length was good for my boots, so all was good. Next, I tried on the 32x32, and the waist fit as expected; however, they were clearly shorter than the 30x32. I laid them out on the counter and compared them, and sure enough, the 32x32 were 1" shorter than the 30x32! (see photos). Out of four pairs of Levi's 517, I have had fit issues in both the waist and the length. Where is the quality control? I haven't decided whether or not to send the 32x32 back. The length when standing is okay, but sitting down, you can see too much of the sock. Had the 32x32 been the same length as the 30x32, I would have had a perfect summer and winter jean. Buyer beware: I also ordered the dark blue in these, and they all seem to run smaller than the lighter colors. FYI If the size had been consistent, I would have given 5 Stars. The material quality is excellent, but the attention to size detail and correct labeling is far from perfect. If you order these jeans, note that if you are giving them as a gift, they must try them on before the return window closes, because you can't go by what usually fits in both waist and length, even with the same jeans in the same style and color. One last thing, I ordered black in the 517's as well, and I had to go with the 32" waist. I couldn't even button the 30", and the 31" gave me a muffin top. So, all in all, most Levi's fit in the 30x32 or 30x34, depending on whether I'm wearing boots or shoes. The 517 runs differently in the waist size depending on where they were made. So far in Levi's, the 30" waist has been good in the 501, 502, 505, and 527. I do know that even the other numbered Levi's fit differently depending on where they were made, but not by enough to be a 2" difference. As long as Amazon doesn't charge for returning products that don't fit correctly, I'll continue to buy Jeans from them. This will be fun this Christmas as my two sons wear similar sizes to me, and getting a perfect fit, hopefully, won't be as challenging.

My husband loves his 517 Bootcut Jeans they fit him perfectly, he was looking for them in every store we went to, and I found them on Amazon. Thank you, seller, I hope you can keep them in stock. I will be back.

Sometimes I have had to drive to a store to get similar jeans for almost double the price. These were shipped fast and the quality is solid.

The waste was too small. I returned the item very easy to return and quickly taken care of.

I was skeptical ordering this at first but could not find any boot cut levis black jeans anywhere near me, only straight leg. Needless to say i'll be ordering these on Amazon from now on. They fit very well but I'd suggest getting just a size up from what you normally do for your waist size. (Example: If you wear a 32X32 maybe get a 33X32).
