Levis Jeans history and information and styles

Levis Jeans For Men

One of the most comfortable pairs of pants on the market is the Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jean. These jeans provide extra room in the seat and thigh areas for a more comfortable fit than you get with Levis original 501 jeans.

Levis 550 Characteristics

Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jeans are a mid-rise pant with a zipper fly, belt loops, and Levis classic five-pocket design. These 100% cotton jeans have an easy, comfortable fit through the seat and thigh and taper slightly below the knee to a 16.5inch leg opening.

The selection of finishes is rather limited for these jeans when compared to other Levis fits. They only come in the traditional blues and black, without any further adornment or stylization.

Other Relaxed Jean Varieties

Similar to the Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jean are their 560 Comfort Fit Jean, 559 Relaxed Straight Jean, and 569 Loose Straight Jean. The 560 jeans have a trouser-like fit for maximum comfort and are loose at the seat and thigh. Like the 550 jeans, they also sit at the waist and taper slightly at the knee.

Levis 559 Relaxed Straight Jean is much like the Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jean in that it is relaxed through the seat and thigh, but unlike the 550 jeans, these jeans sit below the waist and have an untapered, straight leg with an 18inch opening. There is slightly more variety in the washes these 559 jeans come in when compared to the 550 jeans. Whereas the 550 jeans only come in solid blue or black, the 559 jeans have more slightly more elaborate finishes with sanding and whisker details.

Many of the 559 pants are also made using Levis Waterless finishing process which reduces the amount of water Levis uses in the making of their jeans. Using this process, Levis has already saved 172 million litters of water.

The 569 Loose Straight Jean is the roomiest jean Levis makes. It is not tapered like the 550 jeans, but is cut straight through the leg and knee. They also sit low at the waist for a more spacious fit. These jeans are also mostly made using Levis Waterless finishing process and come in about as many color varieties as the 559 jeans.

Who Should Wear Relaxed Jeans?

Relaxed fit jeans like the Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jean can look sloppy on men with skinnier legs, but are great for heavier-set men who do not want pants that hug tight and accentuate their flaws. Relaxed jeans also allow stocky and muscular men to move more freely as they are not as constrictive or form fitting as other fits can be and so there is more room for the leg to move and flex.

Levis Mens 550 Relaxed Fit Jean pants are a comfortable option for men who just need a little more leg room. These jeans, along with the other Levis relaxed fits, provide extra comfort and mobility for men who find the 501 jeans a bit too constrictive.
