I bought these for my boyfriend. He is picky about his jeans, but I found that Levi's makes exactly what he needs. He says they are comfortable and fit nicely. They don't have any of that flashy stuff. Just a nice pair of jeans. They are great for any type of outfit whether he is working around the yard/shop or going out for a casual dinner. There is also a really wide variety of them here on amazon. I snatched up about 5 pair for him. All arrived on time, looked great, fit great, and he was pleased! I saw a few reviews stating that these weren't true to size. If you have a pair of Levi's already... these will fit the same. There are a few different fabric types, but over all it didn't effect the fit. Like I said, I bought a few different styles/fabric types and they all fit him the same. If you aren't sure, head to the store and try on a pair. It is likely you can get them cheaper on here!!! Read more
I checked several local stores for this jean in size 34 X 32 and none of them carried it or were always out of stock. I was a bit apprehensive ordering jeans online because I usually like to look through a couple pairs to find one without flaws or with a good look to the fading. The clincher for me is the great return policy with Amazon, so I ordered them knowing it wouldn't be a big deal to return them. I got mine for $39 bucks which is the lowest price I've seen. They shipped in a sealed plastic pouch so there was very little packaging waste. When I opened it the jeans were perfect and exactly what I had ordered. I really like the Indie Blue color and the faint distressed look on the front, but most of all they fit me and they are very comfortable. Thanks again Amazon! And to the local stores...sorry I tried.

The 559 is nice and roomy through the thighs, which, despite having what I would call pretty standard-bordering-on-skinny-ish thighs, is something I find a problem with with some other Levi's styles. These are definitely "relaxed fit", very casual, so be sure that's what you want. I don't want to focus too much on the specifics of the style, because I think that depends mostly on trying on the jeans and checking out yourself in a mirror. So, I'm going to write about what I find helpful - does the wash of the jeans look like the picture? and what does the fabric feel like? (because if you've looked at Levi's before you know the denim ranges from pretty thin to very chunky). So, the wash in the picture is not exactly representative of what I received - the two pairs I got aren't as dark as the dark areas in the picture and the light areas aren't as light. So, overall, a little less contrast and a little lighter blue than the picture. They come off a little more Dad-ish than I had hoped, but not overly so (plus, I'm a Dad, so I guess the shoe fits). The denim is definitely one of the thinner variations I've seen on the 559. Personally, I prefer the thinner denim for the added flexibility/comfort, but, in my experience at least, the thinner denim wears out a bit quicker. Overall, I think this is a nice wash, but I would have preferred something with slightly more contrast and the fabric suits my preference. Read more
I just wanted a pair of basic durable jeans - not ones that were already ripped or had fancy stitching on the pockets or were so low on the waist that they showed - well, you know - when I bent over. I was getting a bit disgusted with other brands as they seemed not to be made very well and sometimes the fabric lost its shape after just one wash - never to fit right again even though I'm a fairly small person. I had not had a pair of Levi's in many years, but I was feeling a bit nostalgic for my old 501s and the fabric they were made from. These are just about that. They are comfy, look pretty durable and they fit pretty well. They look stylish, but I feel I can wear them cleaning house or working on other projects without worrying that they will fall apart. I purchased a pair of 550s at the same time, but in a different fabric. I could say pretty much the same thing about them. Can't decide which pair I like best, but I've come back to Levi's. Read more
Levi's 559 has always been my favorite jeans for casual wear. They fit perfectly for my size, which is athletic but not huge (huge would be 550 or just very baggy). Also, the color and subtle shades are as good as the jeans that I have that cost 6 times more. Great jeans, great fit (with a belt), and really great color. My only minor complaint is the waste seems to have gotten slightly larger for the same size, or the pants slightly baggier only on the top so that they slide down without a belt. This has not happened before and I am the same waste size. I don't know if it is to shift more to the baggy wear the kids enjoy without a belt, or the style is not as 70's with a belt (which is good), but when I wear a belt problem solved and the fit is A+.

I needed an all black pair of jeans for some of the work I do so I tried these out. The fit was surprisingly perfect for me. I'm about 6'3 and 200lbs (thin frame) and ordered 32x32. The black pair of work jeans I bought fit so well I thought I'd try another color for normal wear. Just received them and they fit exactly like the other pair. It's possible Levi's has sorted the sizing inconsistencies that over reviewers report, or I just have been lucky, or maybe it's only with certain colors. Build quality seems to be much better than some other Levi's I've had in the past that have worn out way too fast and seem super thin and cheap. I'm actually very happy with these jeans and will order more in different colors. Oh, and the amount of colors they come in is also very cool. Read more
