Levi's Men's 541 Athletic Fit Jeans (Seasonal)

Here's the thing about me, fellas - I'm a monster. I love crushing squats. I love dropping deads. People ask me all the time, "Stiles? Bro? Why do you lift so much? You're already so strong!" and I'm here to tell you that it's all about those thighs, brother. Thick, glorious thighs that can lift trucks. Bulging, aggressive thighs that confer a deep, resonant inner power most men would kill for. I walk the streets like a colossus, my heavy, jacked thighs silently commanding everyone to get out of my way. They seem to silently whisper, "Show respect, for these are the thighs that can heal the world." But there is only one problem. These twin gargantuan monsters chew through mortal jeans like they are tissue paper. No normal jean can withstand the thresher-like mangling my tree trunk-esque thighs produce. Maybe a week. Maybe two. Maybe a whole month, if I'm lucky, and the crotch of my jeans is swiss cheese. This has always been a problem. I had only three options, fellas : 1. Stop working out and let my thighs return to mortal levels. 2. Buy jeans in bulk and just keep a spare pair or two anywhere I might have a crotch blowout. 3. Find some kind of mutant jeans that can contain my savage bulk. If you're reading this review, you know number 1 wasn't even an option. These thighs show no quarter and expect none. Option 2 was better, but who had all that storage space for jeans? Imagine me walking around with a backpack full of jeans, trying to explain that. I'd be humiliated. So that means only option 3 remained. I searched far and wide. Most jeans for men of my thigh class were ridiculously expensive. Two hundred bucks for jeans? What if I needed to do some cowboy type stuff and get them dirty? I'd feel ridiculous. I'm not some millionaire dandy who can just drop a few hundred on a pretty pair of jeans. I'm a real man of humble means who has received the gift of lift. I needed jeans I could afford and that could contain my elephantine quads. Then I came across the 541s. I'll admit I was skeptical. I'd been burned by jeans claiming they could contain these magnificent beasts before. But I bought a pair. Put them on. They felt good against the rock formations that are my thighs. But comfort isn't enough. I need durability, something that can withstand punishment. I'm happy to report the 541s work tremendously in that regard. These jeans have seen me through a lot. Whether it's doing an impromptu muscle posedown at the post office or crushing cans of beer to spray on comely co-eds, these jeans withstand it all. I've worn a single pair for many days in a row, and they're always there, beautiful and whole, wrapping my triumphant thighs in their soft denim. Now I know. These jeans have something other than denim in them, which makes those two hundred dollar jeans aficionados get the vapors. "Oh my" they whimper, "that's not pure selvedge denim!" But have you ever seen those guys? They don't lift. I don't go to the local indie coffee shop and tell them how to write a screenplay on their Macs, so why would I let them influence my decision for jeans? Bottom line, boys - these are jeans for the race of Thighed Men who roam these streets like the mighty mastadon. Must buy.

Pretty good pants, fits as expected. I pretty much exclusively wear Levi's pants so if you're like me and you want them, get them

Great, athletic fit jeans. Soft, resist fading, true to size. Give them a 4 because despite being “athletic fit” they are a little tight on the calves, for ME, YMMV.

There was once a simpler time where buying jeans was an uncluttered affair: Levi's, Lee, or Wrangler... end of story. Sure, you had to do a bit of work to get 'em to fit right, but once you did, you held onto those jeans for dear life. Nowadays, jean choices are myriad and buying a nice fitting pair requires the patience of a saint. If your body type is like mine, then you may notice that standard sized jeans don't work for these reasons: 1) The waist may fit right, but the thighs and seat are WAY too tight. 2) MC Hammer and his parachute pants went extinct for a reason... the relaxed fit of certain jeans look and feel too loose. 3) Jeans that fit often lack a nice taper from thigh to the leg, and look way to baggy. These 541's are a godsend to me. You don't have to be some Olympic power-lifter to appreciate them. I'm no gym rat. I rarely do leg exercises, but I'm active and don't have the freakin' chicken-legs these damn hipsters with the skinny jeans are sporting nowadays. Now I have some sweet fitting jeans that don't make me look like some thug or gangsta. As others have mentioned, there is some spandex woven into the denim to give the fabric some stretch. The amount of spandex seems to differ between the different models of the 541's. I purchased the Blue Canyon color and they seem to be particularly stretchy (which I really like). Just be aware that other colors may feel less forgiving.

These pants were a pretty good and well priced thing to get. Surprisingly these jeans feel pretty good. I have been needing a new pair of jeans for work. The one thing about this is that the fabric is really light and protective. You can easily move around in these and it is comfortable to be in all day. It is fairly breathable so you can walk around in them outside. If you happen to sweat though, this does stick to the skin. I would say it is pretty warm and be great for the winter but not so much for the summer. It also has a fly so you can easily go to the bathroom. The zipper is pretty strong so you should not have to worry about it breaking. The pants fit pretty well and do not agitate or irritate my skin (unless I am sweating and it stick to my skin). The pants fit as expected so I did not have much issue in wearing them. One thing I will note about this is that you should get a size up if you are the very edge of the measurement chart. I found that the one size up actually fit better. They do not sag or anything. This can be machine washed however I would recommend that they be washed under heavy duty and cold washed to keep the color from running and overall I think this pants are great. They are comfortable, flexible, and look great. I am able to wear these outside as well as be comfortable in them all day. I probably would wear them casually to hangs out and such. The color looks great and washing them is not too difficult.

Good quality fits well.

As with many people looking at these jeans, I have a huge butt and huge thighs but a relatively small waist. I am 5'10" 200lbs and squat heavy several times a week. Normal jeans I have to buy a 34 or 36 waist to fit into. Almost all brands that are skinny fit,straight fit, slim fit, etc. are impossible to even put on, leaving me buying relaxed fit jeans with a baggy waist that make me look and feel like an idiot. I was skeptical with these but ordered the 33 waist and they are perfect. They were a tiny bit tight when I first put them on but have stretched and fit very comfortably. I also like how they feel like real jeans and not like leggings because they are only 1% elastine. I had a different brand that was like 3% and they fit well but wore down and ripped quickly. Also these jeans actually look decent and modern and not like you are from a 90's sitcom. Definitely worth it.

The fit is... interesting. A bit tighter around thighs but the very roomy seat makes for a strange feel. Not bad, just different. Guess I'm not use to "athletic" fit pants. I do like the color of sea drift, has that dark blue modern color with the fade from knee to upper thigh, similar to Lucky brand jeans. The fabric does provide a bit of stretch which is nice and adds to the comfort. They are also on the softer side as far as jeans go. I said somewhat large because of the very roomy seat and its also loose around the waist. These are good if you like to tuck in your shirts. Be forewarned, these are not for people who prefer low/mid rise jeans. The waistline sits very high, right at the naval. I'm sure some will think that look is goofy. I'll keep these as I can wear for work where I tuck in shirts. While still getting use to the looseness around waist and butt but some hugging around thighs, these are comfy.
