 essential apparel indeed !!! December 30, 2008

Levi's makes a great pair of somewhat loose fitting "relaxed fit" jeans for gentlemen who want a slightly more relaxed look to their jeans; and these jeans are also a good choice for people like me who are slightly overweight. The jeans also come with a straight leg that looks just a little bit more "clean cut" without getting formal at all. They give you extra room and they look good; and that's great!
The denim is nice and thick; and these jeans are extremely durable. The excellent stitching--along with the cotton denim they use--helps make this possible. In fact, with proper care these jeans can last for years at a time without any fraying--even at the bottoms of the legs and at the five pockets. I also like the relaxed, very slightly oversized look on the sides of the straight legs.
One extra bonus is that Levi's makes these jeans in big and tall sizes for guys; big and tall sizes are harder to find so this makes these jeans a great product for larger guys out there.
Make sure you choose the right size and color for you if you're using the sizing chart along with the pricing and availability chart above on this webpage. In addition, although these jeans are essentially permanent press, I would wash these jeans with similar colors to avoid any color dye bleeding onto white garments in the wash or dryer cycle.
If you want a pair of jeans with some extra room in the seat and thigh areas but yet come with a straight leg, this is exactly what you're looking for. Indeed, these fine jeans by Levi's outscore jeans made by other manufacturers. They are remarkably comfortable and yet the fabric is strong to make these last!
559s December 14, 2008

These fit the way I like jeans to fit. I found Levi's 501s to be too tight around the thighs; I prefer a looser fit overall, and these jeans provide a relaxed fit without being baggy.
Good replacement for all-but-discontinued Silvertab Baggy May 17, 2010

I wear a size 31 x 34. I have found that most companies that make jeans, make some assumptions about you based on your waist. Most jeans that fit me in the waist choke me in the crotch and thighs. For years, Levi's Silvertab Baggy jeans suited me well. They were comfortable and durable, but were a little too baggy. They also had a slightly tapered leg, a huge fashion faux pas in 2010. Also, they're getting hard to find, especially in my size.
So... it was time to move on. And I've found a wonderful replacement in the Levi's 559. They have a straight leg, they're reasonably priced, they're easier to find, and they look and feel great. They're a little tighter in the leg and butt than the Silvertab Baggy which is a good thing for me. When I sit down the back of the waist doesn't pooch out, which is also nice.
I have had a hard time tracking the names of the colors versus the color code. I called Levi's 800 number and got the current list of colors along with their corresponding codes. Please note that the 559's come in TWO different style codes. I have been assured that they are both EXACTLY the same cut/style. Those style numbers are 00559 and 62223. From what I have been able to ascertain, (and I can't confirm this) is that the 62223's feature a leather label on the back. The 00559's have the traditional brown paper label.

Great jeans! December 26, 2008

If you're among those who, like me, have strong and thick legs, this are definitively the jeans for you, they're extremely comfortable and look great! Forget about that ugly, baggy look of other loose cuts, they look on me just about how a 501 would look in a person with smaller complexion, and with the added comfort of a zip fly!
They also look like a great choice (IMHO) for those who, even if the 501 fit them just fine, want a roomier alternative, they'll get the comfort without renouncing to the looks.
Nothing to say about it's quality except that it's what you'd expect from any pair of Levi's, which will be more than enough for most people.
if you one of the relaxed jeans fans get one of these January 1, 2009
