Levis Mens 502 Taper Fit Shorts

I got tired of inhaling and pulling hard in opposite directions. So, I ordered a couple of pair of those $120 stretch jeans that you may have heard about on the radio as being the best jeans ever!! Unfortunately, those were going to take about 10 days to get to me and I needed them 4 days later for a cycling trip. Amazon Prime to the rescue at $40ish with 2-day delivery. Got them as scheduled and tried them on. Felt great and a perfect fit. Wore them the whole cycling trip when not cycling (although these would work perfectly fine for 2-4 hour cycling trips. I need the extra padding of cycling short Chamois when taking longer trips). Got back home and the $120 jeans were waiting. Tried them on and I like these Lee jeans better. Sent the $120 jeans back to their owner. A couple of caveats: 1) These are REALLY stretchy like 2-4" of extra give. If you don't like lots of stretch, these may not be for you; 2) Because they are REALLY stretchy, they do not sit as securely on your hips as "regular" cotton denim jeans and you will need a belt to help keep them riding where they are supposed to ride. Along that vein, these jeans have an extra elastic band along the waist to help minimize this issue. The $120 jeans did NOT have a similar strip and therefore the problem was much more pronounced on the $120 jeans; 3) Frankly, I thought these were better versions of the $120 jeans at a much cheaper price. I took great care in comparing fabric compositions between these and the $120 versions trying to get the same (or as close as I could get) fabric compositions as the expensive jeans but in the Lee brand. I also tried a Lee variant with different fabric construction. I liked those too but these were better. The secret from my perspective is to get a Lee style with 2-3% elastine in the fabric (as compared to spandex). That was the closest match to the expensive jeans. I have completely replaced my cotton denim jean inventory with these jean. So, yeah, I really like them. Way more comfortable and flexible than the traditional all cotton denim jeans. Read more

Im a 32 waist 5 11 160 lbs. I bought 3 pair. All fit exactly the same. Go one size smaller. They are nice jeans but im glad they didn't fit. It's kinda loose fit.. not for me...bouncy bounce... but it is good quality jeans as all levis jeans are. As far as the Chilli pepper jeans I bought 2 pair size 32 both fit the same looked the same and fit perfectly. Exact fitting size. Most comfortable jeans ever. I love the old worn look as well. Peace out! 100% levi buyer for over 30 years now. Read more

Funny how two pairs of the same jeans, different colors, fit differently. I do like these jeans. Now, if they would just be a reasonable price and stay at that price! They fit somewhat loosely (one pair) around the hips. The legs are loose. Best of all, there is no spandex! Good length. So happy I figured out my size! When I couldn't find a pair of "women's" jeans without spandex, I shopped men's jeans. Sure enough, they don't expect men to wear skintight, stretchy jeans! Thank you, Levis, for making a pair of jeans right! Read more

The material is nice and is very stylish. It fits very well and I love it! It’s a good product. Read more

Awesome pants. They're actually a nice olive green color, not that weird brownish that they look like in the picture. Fabric is soft and durable, easy to wear casually or more dressed up. The back pocket flaps can either be tucked in (more formal), or left out (more casual). These say that they're a "regular" fit, but I pretty much only wear slim fit pants and don't find these to be too baggy. Read more

Classic Levi look but with softer material still as durable Read more

I normally wear the 541 athletic fit but could not find it on Amazon so I bought the 502. They are not athletic fit (which I need) but they are very well made and fit well enough. Levis quality and priced well. Did I mention they are Levis? Not sure what else needs to be said, they are high quality denim shorts. Read more

These are great for the weekends! Living in Las Vegas, it is hot, and these are nice to wear out and about. So far they have washed great! Good quality, I am buying as second pair. These are long and not really shorts, hid just above the ankles. Not really short - but great for the style! Read more
