These are the second pair of Levi's Mens 527 Slim Boot Cut Jeans I have purchased for my husband. I prefer he wear dark pants to hid any dirt or grime. These are a nice dark wash that can't easily go from day to night. The slim cut is very flattering on him because it elongates his legs without creating extra bulk from fabric. The pants sit just beneath his waist. We turn them inside out to wash them in order to preserve their dark color and we hang them to dry them to prevent shrinking. These usually last about a year under heavy wear and tear. Very Pleased!
