Width of the taper at the end of the leg. The 508s above have a similar taper at the bottom but much more room in the seat and the thighs so these 511s are a pass. Muscular Legs Jeans: Levi’s 513s: 32×30:As you can see the 513s are definitely a strong contender. They fit much better than the 511s and are actually quite similar in how they fit through the seat and thigh as the 508s. However, the only problem I have with these is that their leg opening isn’t quite as tapered as the 508s, which makes them look a little sloppy when paired with a dress shoe that has an elongated toe. I would definitely need the leg opening tailored on these ones. Consider the 513s a maybe.Muscular Legs Jeans: Levi’s 514s: 32×30Well, what can I say? These are a definite NO.

When paired with my dress shoes they look quite sloppy and goofy. Of course, with that said, there's nothing that a little tailoring couldn’t solve. Verdict: a good option if you need a little bit more room and don’t mind a trip to the tailor.Muscular Legs Jeans: STF 501s in 32×30:Muscular Legs Jeans: Regular 501s in 32×30:The overall lessons from Eli's experience:Depending on how snug you like your jeans your best options are going to be either the 508s, 513s, or 501s. If you're my height and have similar proportions then you may need to find a pair of Levi’s in a 28” inseam. In fact, I
