I have just received my second pair of Levi jeans, both pair are 516 straight jeans with 35inch waist and 30inch leg.The first pair I purchased in a shop were Stone wash and a very good fit. The second pair dark blue straight jeans I purchased on line from yourself and found them to be a tight fit at the waist even after several washes.I thought both pair should have fitted exactly the same, NOT HAPPY

A good cut of jean, not too sloppy but not ridiculously tight either. Good to have length options as not all brands do this. Nothing worse than short jeans! Dye is rich and slightly different hue to “regular denim” which adds interest.

Hey these fit perfect for me as a tall slim Dad wearing a 32 x 36. I can wear them high-ish on my waist with a belt and have the 36 inseam long enough to tough my shoes. In my experience, I prefer the 516 over 501 because the waist of the 516 is slightly higher than the 501. I just wish I could also get them in black and some other neutral colours, they're just available in the blue at the moment. Thanks!

I have many other levi leans including 516s, this time went up a size to 33in waist. These ones shrunk unlike all my other levi jeans, to the point of being smaller then my 32in waist 516s. Was washed in cold water and hung to dry indoors, just like my other jeans. Ended up being a waste.
I previously bought a pair of 515s and in the process of getting another pair of jeans I looked for something with a higher cut waist. The Levi website descriptions for the 515 versus the 516 clearly indicates that the 516 has a higher waist cut. Happy with that I ordered my size (35x34leg). They turned up but something was not quite right. Laying out the 515s on a flat surface and placing the 516s on top clearly showed the waist cut was exactly the same. Tried them on....legs were narrower...too tight. Contacted Levi to be told that the waist cut was the same for 515 and 516 and yes the 516 legs are narrower. Very disappointed I sought to resolve the issue but was told to return them at my own expense. They were not faulty. No recognition of any fault in website ... MoreI previously bought a pair of 515s and in the process of getting another pair of jeans I looked for something with a higher cut waist.

Could not take them to a Levi store for a refund because I had paid using PayPal ! How ridiculous.
Classic cut jean perfect if you dont like to tight around legs or too baggy round bum. This style never dates and always looks smart with a simple tshirt or shirt. Washes well in machine.
Great value price-wise. Delivery was a little slow. Oddly, one pair is significantly tighter than the other, despite both supposedly being the same size.
Fantastic! I put the jeans online and couldn’t believe they arrived so quickly within two days. Awesome product has been around for years, just like the purchaser. Will definitely be back for more but only problem is, these jeans will last for ages.
Something is wrong with the batch sizing on these jeans. I own several pairs of 516's and this pair arrived with the wrong size label attached and I cannot get into them. Contacted customer support but still waiting on return info. Also the fabric for this colour has almost no give despite having a lycra component. Disappointed because I really love the colour.
Levis are a ripoff. You could get a pair at true discount a few years back, but these days it is buy one and get only the second at half price. They are just a greedy company and there are alternative jeans better than these overpriced hyped up pieces of rag.
