It's not just you. I find it too low as well. Now if only I could find a decent pair of jeans with the cut (and price!) of the 514, but with the rise of the 505...
do I measure the rise from the seam at the crotch?
Yep. Measure front and back rise from the center of the 'X' at the bottom of the crotch to the top of the waist. Maybe it's just because I've worn low-rise jeans for the past few years, but I think the 514 has the perfect rise.
I went into my local Levi's store last night looking for the selvage 514, no dice. I did end up leaving with some "rigid" 514s (made in Mexico) which fit well. My first pair of Levi's in years and I'm very happy with the cut.
It's probably too early to tell, but how do these compare to 501 STFs?
