511's aren't that skinny by today's standards. I would say they are just a slim-cut jean. I tried 568's (rigid), but they were too tight through the thigh. I suppose 568 in Australasia is the same as 510? They are the skinniest Levi's you can get here.

still, if you're getting into skinny jeans (which as a recovering skinny jean addict i don't recommend), get 511s. they're a reasonable "skinny" cut. with both 510s and 511s, you're only out ~36 bucks if you don't like 'em and can't returrn 'em for whatever reason.
although, at least you didnt get like sized-down-3 NCs, cheap monday tights or any similar ballcrushers. i had a pair of black 510 twills and they were reasonably comfortable, even for my huge ass


I paid $48 for these

I just ate a gas station bean burrito. It should arrive in my toilet sometime later today.

Speaking of gas stations, I filled up my tank at one the other day. The gas arrived from the pump to my car almost instantaneously.

511's aren't that skinny if you go TTS. And that's coming from someone who was wearing loose/baggy jeans three years ago and relaxed bootcuts until this year.

I just took the plunge with the twill 511s. Seem like a comfortable warm weather type of pant. My only gripe is the waist for them seem to only come in even sizes, which forced me to size up one. Perhaps for the best, though, since the result for me is a slimmer cut that doesn't leave my legs breathing for air. Trying to size down made 'em look like gray shrink wrap.

I think that was a good move.
