Levi - 516 Red Tab Jean - Straight Fit - Stonewash

The Levi's® 516™ Straight Fit Jean is a versatile everyday denim style with a classic straight leg that's slightly slimmer than a traditional straight fit. Sitting below the waist and cut slim through the hip and thigh, it offers a clean, streamlined silhouette without feeling restrictive.

Made with Comfort Stretch denim, the 516™ includes a touch of stretch for easier movement and all-day comfort while maintaining the authentic look and feel of classic Levi's® denim. Finished in Ready Rinse, a clean dark blue wash, it's an easy jean to dress up or down and a particularly good option for slim to athletic builds.

Common Customer Questions

Are the Levi's® 516™ the same as the old 504™ jeans?
The 516™ is the style to look for if you previously wore the Levi's® 504™. It offers a similar streamlined straight fit, sitting below the waist with a slim cut through the hip and thigh and a straight leg.

What colour is Stonewash?
Stonewash is a classic mid-blue denim wash with natural-looking fading that gives the jeans an authentic, lived-in appearance. It's a timeless, versatile blue that works particularly well for relaxed everyday dressing.

What can I wear with the 516™ in Stonewash?
For an easy casual look, pair them with a T-shirt, polo, rugby or casual button-down shirt and sneakers. Stonewash denim also works well with overshirts, quarter-zip knits and casual jackets, while brown or chestnut leather boots add a classic finish.

What's the difference between the 516™ and 511™?
The 516™ has a straight leg and offers more room through the lower leg, while the 511™ has a slimmer, more tapered silhouette. If you prefer classic straight jeans without excess width, the 516™ is a strong choice.

Do the 516™ jeans stretch?
Yes. They're made with Levi's® Comfort Stretch denim containing 1% LYCRA®, providing a little extra flexibility and comfort while retaining the structure and appearance of traditional denim.

How should I care for them?
Levi's® recommends washing jeans no more than once every 10 wears where practical to help extend their lifespan and conserve resources. Machine wash cold, inside out and with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry medium and warm iron if required.
