5.0 out of 5 stars Great jeans for skinny guys, February 10, 2009

In my late twenties, when I finally grew out of thinking baggy pants were cool, I set out to buy jeans to fit my 6'6" 160 lb body. I quickly came to dread shopping for jeans. The vast majority of stores don't carry anything above a 34" inseam, and the few that do have nothing below a 34" waist. Apparently there just aren't enough of us tall skinny guys out there to have a market for jeans to fit.

After checking dozens of stores I did find one place that sold such a size: Lucky Brand Jeans. Their extra long sizes worked out to approximately a 37 inseam. For a number of years I would hit up a Lucky maybe once a year or so and ask what they had in extra long. It usually amounted to a selection of one or two options. I even tried a pair of women's pants once. Things were good in extra-long Lucky land, and I resigned myself to the extra-large price tag: $100+ a pop.

On a tip I got some Levis 501 shrink-to-fits. The trick with these is you buy larger than your size and wash them until they come down to the fit you want. I went through a few pairs of 501s, but I didn't like having to go at least a few weeks between washings. The dark color quickly faded to what my wife called "highlighter blue". That wasn't a compliment.

Then I tried these 31x36 clean rinse 512s from Amazon, and my first reaction was, "Where have you been all my life 512s?" They are dark enough to dress up or down. They've kept their color much more than the 501 STFs ever did. And I don't have to do any complicated wash/dry processes to get to the right size. They fit right away. Machine washing on cold and hanging to dry has kept them from shrinking up and left the inky clean rinse color. On top of that, for less than $40 a pair I could buy 2-3 for the cost of one pair of Lucky jeans.

Some people have commented on the lower quality of denim in these pants. From what I understand Levis made a switch in recent years from US manufacturing to foreign locations such as Mexico and China. Supposedly ever since then the denim has run lighter and less durable. I haven't been wearing Levis for long enough to be able to compare, but it's honestly not an issue for me. I don't work outside but maybe once or twice a year. For those times I'll wear some beat up pants. The rest of the year, I'll be sporting my 512s. These are some great jeans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic fit for a leaner type guy..., December 3, 2008

Levi's 512s are the only jeans I wear; all the others are too baggy, too skinny, too low-rise, etc. 512s appear on a leaner frame the way 505s look on a medium build. I'm glad to see the choice of colors available, as previously I could only find the Medium Stonewash. This time around I got the Dark Stonewash and the Clean Rinse, and my only quibble is that the Clean Rinse seems made of a lighter weight denim.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice cut, inferior denim, December 13, 2008

These jeans have a very nice cut for tall lanky types, though the denim is NOT the same weight as regular Levis. The denim is so thin I wouldn't dare work outside in them, fearing a tear/rip. These are more like dress pants, something to wear with a suit.
