Levi Strauss Signature Gold Men's Bootcut Fit Jean Pants

I've been putting off buying a new pair of jeans for years now. I have never had good luck finding jeans that fit that also look decent. Since I wear Adidas GSG-9s or work boots as my daily footwear, I need bootcut jeans. I've been rotating the same 4 pairs of 527s that I bought over 20 years ago along with various pairs of cargo pants (etc), and they've held up remarkably well, but are all pretty faded and in various states of degradation. I had tried purchasing new a pair of 527s about 7 years ago but they turned out to be counterfeit - I got my money back and decided to buy some tacticool pants instead.Sorry for the long intro, but these are great. Though I'm used to the low-rise cut of 527s, these aren't the navel-huggers that I'd worry they'd be. Gen-X reporting in, and yes, I wear my pants a little lower than I probably should for a man my age - I don't sag them, I just don't enjoy the feeling of things wedged in my buttocks. I haven't washed them but the fit is about perfect, the color is spot on what I was expecting from the pictures, and the quality seems very very good for a pair a jeans that only cost $28 in 2024. I will upate this review after I've had a chance to wear them a few times. So far so good though. I have a pair of real 527s arriving direct from Levi's today so I'll be able to compare them and will add that info to my update as well.

I'm 5'11, 185 lbs give or take. My last few pairs of jeans I purchased from a "western style boot store" and paid considerably more for them than I paid for these. I've been wearing them a couple years now and one of the pairs, although still fit good, are getting too short so I decided to try these as a replacement. When this pair arrived I tried them on and first thought was to return them because they seemed a bit too long (I go from one extreme to the other). I decided to try them with my roper boots, which is what I'd mostly be wearing them for, and they actually didn't look too bad at all. I threw them in the wash and tried them again and they were better. Honestly, I believe they're designed that way on purpose hence "boot cut". Lol the back of the pants by the heal ride lower than I've been accustomed to but in no way touch the ground; the front drape over as they should. I'm confident as they go through more washes they won't be too short. I don't envision wearing these with any other shoes aside from my roper boots but tried them with my low cut converse and they're certainly doable. They seem like better jeans material than the pairs from the western store and, like I said, cost considerably less. Waist, etc. fit great. A great boot jean for a great price. I dig them. The pockets are deeper/better than the the high priced jeans, as well. I could never figure out why the pockets in those jeans seemed so shallow. If my cell phone wasn't a flip phone it'd barely fit. Now I'm thinking those high priced boot cut jeans fell short.......pun intended.

Great fitting and nice looking jeans. Perfect flair at the bottom to cover boots.

I first bought these jeans in April 2019 (for $31) and wore them frequently before losing enough (unhealthy) weight to store them away, but they have still held up today! They are medium-thin, easy to pull on and wear with minimal friction and are light enough to comfortably run in if need be. They also have a good mix of color, fit solidly at the waist with a belt and hovered just above my ankles for an overall comfortable fit. Also after enough washings they are now faded around the knees but otherwise have no other flaws, though granted I alternated jeans and washed them biweekly. Overall for being a nice, comfortable and versatile pair of jeans found at a great price, the “Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Gold Label Men's Bootcut Fit Jeans, Headlands 34W x 30L” gets a respectable 4/5 stars!

The seems are not straight at all for starters. Edges and hemming is really rough, unraveling, loose, and its very obvious someone was having tension and stitch length issues on their sewing machines. The stitch patterns and tension you can look and see where it is way tight/uneven. Also noticeable where the person sewing them hesitated and didn't do a very good job back stitching.I have not washed them because I am afraid that the seems and stitching will come apart. I sew with either vintage clutch motor Singer or servo motor Juki industrial sewing machines capable of making these. So I honestly have a very good idea of what it takes to make quality clothing. Chances are whoever made these they could have bern in a hurry because industrial machines are designed for production, speed, and efficiency. If you hesitate or stop or as I said above, do not have a machine set correctly, and are not paying attention you will have a mess that will fall apart. My other guess is these are made by people who are learning which is good.On one occasion the strong odor of the dye in the cloth these are constructed from stinks like a combination of rotten fish oil, petroleum solvent or shoe polish, burned microwave popcorn with a musty smell that is so horrible I don't want them in my home. I know that it is not uncommon to get cloth that can smell depending upon what it is treated with or what starches were used. However I would never allow cloth that smells this bad near myself or any of my sewing machines because I would be afraid of getting sick or not being able to ever get the smell out. I usually don't write such a negative review yet I just hope that nobody else gets something of such inferior quality. I shouldn't have to wash the rotten odor off my hands with automotive hand cleaner after touching these that is a sure sign we have something possibly toxic in the cloth which could be dangerous to myself and do I really want to risk my washing machine and dryer stinking or possibly releasing toxic fumes making me or a pet sick I don't think so.Hopefully the seller will replace these or refund me so that I can give a positive review. I cannot tell you how they fit because I am not going to put these against my skin. Here is what is strange according to my tape measure they are surprisingly sized very well and should fit nicely im really hoping that I can get this taken care of. If anyone reads this and you notice any of what I mentioned above please report it.Seller replaced the previous purchase and they get a 5 star rating.Update. I have purchased 5 pair of 34x34 and they were all just fine. Sizing they are actually pretty good. They are not as heavy duty as the 100% cotton 517 or 501 not even close. Take a stitch cutter and cut a pair of wore out ones up you will see what I mean. These are made fast and they are not heavy duty. Thread and material wise for what they are I cannot complain. They wash and dry really nice. I recommend them if you cannot afford their high grade.
