Throughout the 20th century, Levi’s also made jeans outside of the 500 series. The 200s in the 1920s and 600s in the 1960s were both designed to be more affordable. But for ease of use, this guide will only describe the fits that are made by Levi’s today. Levi's Vintage Clothing and Levi’s Made and Crafted are not included in this guide.

Before we get started, it’s important to know that this list encompasses all of Levi’s current standard offerings. As styles change, it’s entirely possible that some of these will end up being discontinued and new ones might be introduced. Similarly, there are sub-styles and variants that are not necessarily going to be listed independently, as they do not differ from other offerings in significant enough ways, though mention will be made in the style that most closely fits these variants. Similarly, there may be styles from the past that are not represented, as they are no longer produced. Levis 508 jeans are made with 99% cotton and 1% elastic, whereas Levis 511 jeans are made with 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane. Colors But not quite jeans at large. These kinds of trousers already existed. Levi’s just popularized (and patented) ones with rivets. The reinforcements were originally for workers, who would inevitably work (pun intended) their way through usual pants, creating a market for more durable ones. (Hence the logo, a visual of two horses tied to the pants trying to rip them apart.) By 1890, the patent expired and Levi’s was no longer the style’s exclusive manufacturer. Cue numerical values: first being the 501 (and the 201, an affordable alternative). Though the reasoning for the numbering remains a mystery, Levi’s used it as the foundation for styles to come: the 505, 511 and so on and so forth.

Orange Tab: Introduced in the 1960s, Orange Tab Levi’s differentiated its classic Red Tab lineup from boot cuts and bell bottoms. These remained on Levi’s throughout the ‘70s and were considered more experimental, fashion-forward pieces from its time. Since the release of 501s, Levi’s expanded its offering to include numerous fits for different occasions and lifestyles. Currently, the brand offers well over a dozen silhouettes for men — here’s how to tell them apart.

Levis 508 jeans are tapered regular jeans, offering extra room in the thighs and sitting below the waist. The tapered leg adds a touch of modernity to the overall silhouette. Made from 99% cotton and 1% elastane, these jeans provide a soft feel with a subtle stretch, allowing for flexibility without compromising durability. Silver Tab: First debuted in 1988, these were more baggy and loose styles of jeans popular in the ‘80s and ’90s. Think grunge, hip-hop, and streetwear.

The waist measurement is also the first number of the tagged size (i.e. 32 x 34).

Aside from length, my biggest issue with finding jeans has always been the fit around my quads (thank you squats and genetics). Most pants that fit me well in the waist end up being too narrow in the quads and on the rare occasion that they fit the pants are too short. One solution in the past was to buy jeans one size larger and get the waist taken in by a tailor. Whilst a good fix, it meant an additional tailoring cost on top of an already expensive pair of jeans.

Styling Levi’s 508 jeans can be a fun and creative process, as these jeans offer a balanced fit that combines comfort and style.
