Anybody know their Levis?- 514 'motion fit' stretch fabric
Discussion
Can't find the fashion section(!) on the site so posting here.
Last year I picked up a pair of 514 jeans with some stretch in them at a Levis outlet center. It was the only pair and the staff didn't know about it or if they'd get more.
Anyhow it's a great fit for me and the addition of elastic fibers makes the very comfortable.
Went online to find some and in the UK there are none available with the stretch fabric (which they call motion fit) and the 514 cut seems to have been replaced by the 504.
On the US Levi's site they are showing though:

From internet searches on UK sites appears they are not available anywhere here. Anybody know where I could get some?
Maybe some EU sources?

Amazon uk has loads of suppliers selling 514s. Looking at the description they all have 2% elastane in them so have some stretch vs normal 100% cotton jeans.
The 2% elastane is what levi call motion stretch.
Thanks, just had a look and seen that.The 2% elastane is what levi call motion stretch.
In the US they market it on their site clearly with the term 'motion stretch' making it easy to find. Here it's only mentioned in the description. As the 514 comes in various fabrics makes it hard to find.
On Amazon it shows Levi's as the seller but they no longer show it on the Levi's site so looks like they phasing that number out in the UK.
In my searching also came across 'commuter' models of certain cuts which have the stretch and some water repellency. Used to have a guesseted crotch but apparently this years version no longer has that.
I never realized Levi's fiddled with numbers and options so much!
