4.0 out of 5 stars
A revised version of this jean, November 10, 2008
This review is from: Levi's 512 Petite Perfectly Slimming Boot Cut Jean with Tummy Slimming Panel (Apparel)
I bought two pairs of these for the lady of the house recently. One was indigo rinse, the other medium rinse. (The lady doesn't like those flashy pre-worn, pre-faded styles.) Here is her report:
Although both pairs of these jeans were ordered and shipped at the same time, the (darker colored) indigo rinse pair was made of thin, summerweight fabric; the (lighter-colored) medium rinse pair was a standard jeans weight, suitable for this time of year. Summer will come again, and both pairs are useful, but the disparity in the fabrics should have been noted in the description.
These jeans do not have the same slim cut as a pair bought at the mall earlier this year. When laid under the older jeans, these legs show a straight-line cut from the hip to the hem (with more room in the upper leg area) when compared with the earlier cut, which was slightly tapered to the knee area.
Also, the distinctive Levi's red-printed label has been replaced with a quieter brown-on-tan version, and the traditional Levi's copper-colored rivets have been toned down to an antique brass-colored finish.
The "slimming panel" (fabric of the pockets extended across the interior front part of the jeans) remains the same.
Conclusion: Levi's jeans remain iconic, but this version seems to have had a few revisions lately.

The best fitting jeans ever !!, May 13, 2009
This review is from: Levi's 512 Petite Perfectly Slimming Boot Cut Jean with Tummy Slimming Panel (Apparel)
These jeans in black are the best fitting jeans I have ever owned. Buy them now before the price goes back up -- they are usually $34 at least !! Don't make the mistake of ordering a size marked PS (example: 10PS) -- the PS length is 27.5 inches; the PMedium length is 29 inches unless you know you need the shorter length. I bought two pairs from Macys earlier this year and am buying more today.

a sizing issue?, March 31, 2009
I bought a pair of these last year, size 6P Medium, and I LOVE the way they fit and look. But in ordering this pair in a different color I found that even though it was the same style and size, it was much smaller! I ended up having to return it.
