Levis 514 are great November 12, 2009 Canonman (Long Beach, CA) I used to wear Levis all the time but have drifted away. But now I'm back. I tried the 527 but I didn't like the boot cut. I've found 514. I have three pair now. The price at Amazon was great and I'm very happy with the look and feel of the 514. It seems the style now is low rise and I like the fit. Levis have made a great jean.
They fit well on the hips and are snug around the hips and in front and aren't too slim. They're kind of reveiling in front and that's OK. Unless you're really skinny the 514 will fit you better. I have the overhaul and the rigid. Watch out for the rigid because it will come off on furniture for a while. I'm into darker colors now and I'm very happy. Levis are still making a great jean at a lot cheaper price.
Like low rise 501's.... October 9, 2009 Mike (Georgia United States) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
...without the buttons. If you're looking to bolster your jean wardobe with some slimmer fit low rise styles but afraid you're gonna come off looking like some Goth-punk rock-star wannabe who's so skinny they disappear when turning sideways ...relax ...those would be the "Skinny Fit" 517's not these. And if you're looking for some jeans that *don't* have "Relaxed", "Loose" or "Baggy" as part of their style moniker then these are the ones to get.
I would call these "sensibly-stylish-low-rise-jeans-for-the-more-mature-taste-crowd" ..."mature" in this case definitly *not* refering to beer belly and severe love handle embellished body types; consider these a goal for that weight loss or exercise program. They are also not the strict domain of the anorexic male model body type either; regular, non-gut bearing guys in halfway decent condition can wear these no problemo ...and look good. The waist sits lower than regular fit jeans but not radically so, they're sort of a mid rise ...no one's gonna be graced with viewing your choice of undergear or given a rendition of SNL's "Norge Man" routine when you bend over.
No matter your views regarding the modern day Levi Strauss Company, they *do* know how to make blue jeans that fit, are stylish and reasonably priced; the quality is still there. The 514's are called "Slim Straight fit" ...forget the "slim" part of it; they fit like Levi's 501's in the seat, thigh and legs with the leg openings the same size as 501's. I purchased a pair of 501's at the same time I bought the two pair of 514's so I had real time comparisons. The crotch on the 514 feels slightly higher than the 501's, but nothing radical or uncomfortable, and the cut of the jeans does help flatter the male anatomy ...your results may vary. If ya look good in 501's you'll probably look just as good, maybe better, in 514's.
Sizing of the jeans is a bit different; my usual 33x32 501 size translated into a 33x30 for the 514's. Shrinkage was not a problem in the waist (these were pre-washed) and the legs shrunk just a bit making them perfect in legnth for my taste. The only thing making these jeans better would be knowing they were proudly made here in the US of A ...like they used to be. My 514's were made in Egypt and Bangladesh ...hooray for the global economy. Okay, so much for the soapbox.
Do not fear the 514. In short, they fit great, feel comfortable and look good. Just like 501's without buttons.
"Jealous" version is a completely different fit than standard 514 September 2, 2009 Hotrodimus (Chicago, IL, USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I wear 514's all the time, and I liked the color combo on the "Jealous" wash. However, this model of the 514 is COMPLETELY different than standard 514's - it's significantly baggier throughout, and the legs almost have a flare to them. Mega-disappointed in this version of the 514, as I buy them for their slim and fitted vibe.
Very good Levi's quality September 1, 2009 Ciao (Italy) Very good quality and cut. They are straight like a jeans must be, the fitting is great: NOT baggy in thigh (the opposit of the loose and ugly Levi's 505) and not too much slim. I bought the 514 in "Voltage" wash (color code 045140052): the denim weight is about 12 oz. The effective color is a little bit darker then in the picture here in Amazon. The back label is in brown similar leather, that gives a vintage look. Choose true waist and leg. With the seller ElectricKID, Amazon and FedEx shipping was punctual, precise and accurate. Five stars indeed.
