Levi's® 522™ Slim Tapered Jeans
Product Details
Web ID: 1510155These jeans are terrific.
I have work 501's for 50 years. They were the best jeans made. Now, the 522's exceed the 501's in todays society. The fit the same as 501s, except they have a zipper which is a plus. Also the trim, tapered look is ideal. Also, they fit at the waist, instead of the hips. I love these jeans. The best I've ever had. Trouble is, I only had a chance to purchase 2 pair before Levi's stopped making them. Please bring them back.

Awesome
These are my favorite fit of Levi's. They fit like a high-waisted 511 for dudes with big thighs. I sized down from my normal size for an actual slim fit.

Not slim at all
I bought the 522 in 36x32 since they did not have a 35 waist available. Not a big deal since I own 505's and 541's in 36. I figured with it being a "slim", the extra inch would give a little more room as I hate tight jeans on my thighs. I bought these for the taper. However, these are not slim at all. They fit like the 541's with a much higher rise. If you normally wear jeans on your hip bone or just above these are not for you. These go to your natural waist line, basically right below your belly button. I had to adjust my belt one to two holes tighter. These sizes are not your natural waist size. The length is terrible also. I'm 6' 0" and the 32 inch inseam go below my heal. Easily 33 inches even after trying to shrink them in the washer and dryer, though that did bring them up off my heal. My advice would be - try these on in a store or order down a size in waist and inseam. The taper is good but that is all. Next up will be the 511's, if I hate those I am done with Levi's.

Great jeans
My 522 jeans fit and look great. I wish Levi's made a 501ct in my size and color. 34x30.

Tapered but not slim
I've liked the other 522 jeans I've purchased but these were super baggy. The waist seems to run a little large as well. Why call these slim? What happened to 508's?
Customer review from Levis
Outstanding cut, taper
As another user wrote, these finally achieve the slim fit with the proper taper rather than straight leg. For those looking for comfortable slim fit with enough space in the carriage to fully move, squat or be active, these are them. Terrific work Levi, I'm back buying your jeans!

Perfection
This is exactly what I have been dying for. I always loved the slims but I felt like they could use a little taper at the bottom. Levi's answered my prayers. I found the jeans sit a little more at the waist than below it but they could be worn either way. I am 6'2 235lbs and an ex college football player and these fit me like a glove. I pray to God Levi's makes these a staple and doesn't get rid of them. I had a funeral when they killed off the regular taper but these are the perfect alternative. That little bit of stretch too just makes everything better. I own 2 pairs and I plan on switching all my jeans to 522s

Good jeans, don't look like the photo
These jeans are UNWASHED plain black with a little stretch, dark gray thread and white pocket bags. Not at all what the photo shows. No distressing. I don't like the white pocket bags with black jeans. Everything about these jeans seem like a mistake. Still good quality product.
