I squat. I deadlift. I clean. I snatch.Leg day is pretty much every day for me. Long gone are the day's where I could comfortably fit into a pair of Levi's 511 (okay so I never really fit comfortably in them, they just fit). My normal jeans of choice are Naked & Famous skinny guy's; but even now, my 2 year old broken in denim totally limit's my range of motion. On to my next pair, my A.P.C. new petite standard denim that I'm just now breaking in with my thunder thighs. They're getting better and looser, but still not the most comfortable jeans to be wearing on a daily basis. That and they cost me $175, so I usually only wear them when I go out.That brings me to my Levi's 508's. Why buy such cheaper jeans when I have other pairs of higher quality denim at my disposal? Well, one of my favorite cuts was from a few years back when Levi's still made 520's. That was the best cut denim ever, IMO. Relaxed in the crotch, but tapers down so that the leg openings bunch up around your shoes and you're not dragging your denim all over the place. Sad to say, I basically caught them on the tail end of their shelf life. I was ecstatic to hear of the 508's! It's almost impossible to find taper jeans anymore, without them being RIDICULOUSLY baggy to a TINY taper. Not even Naked & Famous Weird Guy's are legit, they fit just like Skinny Guy's. To my joy, the 508's fit pretty much identical to my old 520's. Granted my legs are a lot bigger now than they were before. Which is perfect, plenty of room to move around comfortably. I can put on my socks and shoes without struggling again!Now the cons:-Tumbled Merlin looks a lot more blue than it does in real life, it's definitely grey.-Not the heaviest denim in the world.-Waist sizing is a TAD big. I would size down. I usually wear 31's (APC/Naked&Famous) just for comfort, but this 31 definitely feels big.
