Men's Levi's 511 Slim Fit Performance Jeans in a versatile dark indigo wash. These jeans are designed for active wear, featuring a slim fit through the seat and thigh with a slight taper to the ankle. The 'Performance' technology provides moisture-wicking and increased durability compared to standard denim. Features classic 5-pocket styling and zip fly.
Key Features
Proven 511 Slim Fit silhouette; high brand recognition; 'Performance' stretch denim technology; darker wash translates well for casual or professional wear.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Levi's' batwing logo on the inner waistband tag; font for 'PERFORMANCE 511 SLIM' matches modern retail standards; high-quality contrast topstitching. Check for the red tab and the leather-like patch on the back for final confirmation.
Flaws to Note
A small loose strand of thread protruding from the waistband (likely a finishing defect, not a structural hole); significant pet hair/lint visible in the photo which requires a lint roller before listing.
