Find an online store that'll ship to you.
514s are a great cut. Levis makes 514 khakis, too. Aside from suit pants, I don't own anything else.

I find Levi's 511 the best fit. They aren't tight around the thigh, and they are tapered below the knee. Brings out your physique the best, and makes you look lean.
Having said that, I absolutely hate the 514's. They are slim straight, a bit loose around the thigh, but not tapered below the knee. Unless you have a larger build, I would avoid them and stick with 511's.
If you are worrying about it being too skinny.. It really isn't. Levi's has an even skinnier style, I believe it is 510's. But that is too far for me and I like to stick with the 511's.

I was just lookin at the 514s yesterday. Are levi's cool again? For about 10 years they were pretty bad, with disgusting fabric, bad cuts, and unhip brand image.

I saw the 514s came in both straight and slim straight. There didn't seem to be much of a difference but the straights worked for me a bit better. What's the 511 like?

Notice how the 514's have way more slack below the knee? Also, the 511's have a better fit around the thigh, hence why I prefer them, it shows your physique better.

I am a thinner guy and like the fit of the Traditional Fit jeans from the Gap (avoid the fatass baggy look but also don't look like hipster skinny jeans).

I can't wear skinny jeans. Too many squats.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Around north brooklyn, you are shooting yourself in the foot if you aren't wearing skinny jeans.

Don't want to troll or anything but clothes look best on guys that have slim bodies with a V shaped torso.

I will try out the 511s. I like the slim look to jeans. I personally don't like baggy jeans.

America fell out of love with Levi's in the 90's. The Company was on its knees but still had a big following in parts of Asia, mostly Japan. The Brand became cool again in the mid 2000's and now its a mainstay. When I try and tell people whom are a bit younger then me that I used to bitch and moan when my folks would cop me Levi's jeans from the discount store and Wal-Mart people think I'm nuts. Everybody was wearing Calvin Klein and Tommy when I was growing up, that was the cool shit. Levi's were as fresh as Wrangler's growing up and nobody messed with them unless they were broke or hillbillies. The 'Silver Tabs' were cool for a little bit but those flamed out quick too. I remember jacking my first pair of CK Jeans and wearing them to school feeling like the biggest bossman ever, I used to even rip off the tags off my Levi's and try to take out the arch's in the pockets. Typical kids stuff being obsessed with brands and status.
Vintage Levis in crisp condition sell for crazy amounts in Japan... if only I knew better back then.

Buy a different cut and then have them tailored. Not every tailor can do this though, they need to have some specific machine for it so you might have to check around at a few different places

Ah, Levi's, I like 'em...
used to rock 501 jeans, a crewneck sweater, saggin' in my pants 'cause I don't know better...
but then I got into 514s and find that the cut is much better for my physique (which is slim/athletic martial arts/cyclist way of slim and cut up but with big legs).
If I try on 513s or 511s, I start wondering if someone put girl pants in the men's section and I accidentally picked them up. These pants are for the dudes that always skip leg day, AFAIC. The 513s in the same size as my 514s wouldn't even make it up to my waist.
The cut of the 514 isn't quite perfect, but I haven't found a comparable (or slightly more expensive) alternative that looks and feels as good.

So what, I can fill a suitcase full of 514's and take them to Europe and sell them for 60-100 Euro a pair? This would be like Soviet Union days.
