Design and Features
Mid rise (sits at waist), tight fit through thighs and knees, tapering to the bottom (14–15 inches at the leg opening). Pickles ADV is a modern dark wash with subtle fading in natural wear zones. The fabric has light stretch, making the model more comfortable than older 511 versions without elastane.

Comparison with Levi's 512™ Slim Taper
511 Slim Fit is classic slim throughout the leg. 512 Slim Taper sits tighter in the thighs and tapers more aggressively toward the ankle. If you want a more modern, “pointed” silhouette — choose 512. If you want classic slim that doesn’t hug the ankles — choose 511.
Who It’s For and Who It’s Not For
Ideal for: men with normal or slightly full thighs who want a slim silhouette without excessive tightness.
May not suit: those with very wide thighs (better 502 or 568), lovers of oversize (better 578 Baggy), or those looking for maximum stretch (better Extreme Motion).
FAQ
