Levi's changes sizes again, April 22, 2009
This review is from: Levi's Men's 517 Boot Cut Jean (Apparel)
I have worn the 517 for over twenty five years and Levi's exclusively over 50 years. Two years ago, the cut changed and all 517's were relaxed fit. Send back and change size because they were too big. SO I ordered the same thing but now 517's are "slim cut". Doesn't work on me, I need some extra room. Now the number is 557 for the relaxed fit and I get to pay the postage to return the wrong cut jeans. Shame on Levi's: they should not have changed these 2 years ago and then change again this year.

Levi's 517, September 12, 2009
These jeans come washed so they are soft, supple and ready to wear. They are pre-shrunk so order the size you wear. I choose boot-cut jeans because I wear 12"-shaft western boots. Levies are the only jeans I wear because they fit well, look good, and get better with age.

These are NOT your classic 517s, December 27, 2009
This review is from: Levi's Men's 517 Boot Cut Jean (Apparel)
DO NOT buy new 517s if you are looking for the slim, fitted, look of the classic Levi's 517. That's been left in the dust. Apparently Levi's thinks only fat people wear jeans now.
These jeans have so much extra fabric it's almost comical. I bought a pair online, set the jeans out on the floor, and even with a 29 waist, there is so much extra fabric they look like women's jeans! It's like they have room for hips or something.
Gimme a break, someone who buys 517's is not going for the baggy gangster look, they're 517s!!!
Thoroughly disappointed with the direction Levi's have taken the fit of their jeans, I will never buy a pair again.
Don't be fooled by the other reviews that say these have a classic fit. They have a baggy, frumpy, 'modern' couch potato fit.
