FAQs
Are these jeans true to size?
The Levi's 514 series is generally consistent with standard waist measurements, but the inclusion of elastane provides a slightly more forgiving, flexible fit.
What is the material composition?
They are made of 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane for the perfect balance of comfort and durability.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but low heat is recommended to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers.
Is the leg length adjustable?
These are finished at approximately 32cm length; while you can have them professionally hemmed, the original length is intended to hit at the ankle.
Are these suitable for formal events?
The black colorway is versatile enough for smart-casual settings, though they remain casual denim jeans.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feeling stiff after drying
The fabric will naturally soften with body heat and movement shortly after putting them on.
Color fading after multiple washes
Always wash inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when air drying to protect the black dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Levi's 514 jeans maintain their shape and color, machine wash them in cold water with similar dark-colored garments. Turn the jeans inside out before washing to minimize surface abrasion and keep the black dye vibrant. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents. Due to the 2% elastane content, it is recommended to air dry or use a low-heat setting in the dryer to prevent fiber degradation. Because these are cut to an ankle length, consider your sock choice carefully; lower-profile socks or no-show socks work best to maintain the intended aesthetic of the leg opening.
