Ordered the 38x28 for my son. Great jeans. Same sturdy, perfect fit we have come to expect of Levi 501. So far, holding up well under high stress work. The Fit is exact to measure. Only complaint would be that 28 is the smallest inseam in this size. I wish they came in a 27 length, (which I can't get anywhere). I have to pay for alterations to get the length right but that's not really your fault. We'll be back for more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jeans were just the right size. The color was a little off. 501 is the only jean my husband will wear. they are getting harder and harder to find in his size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always worn Levi 501’s because theres nothing like them. I recently decided to try on some different brands and branch off and I came running back to the 501. Can’t get a better pair of jeans like these anywhere else. So snug I don’t even need to break them in. #win501

Very comfortable Jean's.

These Jean's fit great. I bout them one size up in legs and waist. I washed them twice in bot eayer and then dried them after the 2 washing before I ever wore them. They did great.

I am always happy when I get a new pair of Levi's 501 jeans. They have the best fit, rugged, stylish, comfortable, and long lasting. Talk about the best bang for your buck. 501's are the best bang. Thanks for making such an enduring product.

Great jeans!!

I just recently bought a few pair of these Levi's and I've been buying them since I was a teen and still buy them. Great quality jeans and I look good in them. Their the only jeans I have in my closet. Love me some Levi's!!

Nice but the HEMS are tiny

jazzel

Dec 5, 2013

Great quality feels nice but... The HEMS are only as wide as a #2 pencil..looks ridiculous when they roll UP. If that's what you were going for then you nailed it. If I got a dud let me know.

501s rock!

I absolutely love my white 501's. I haven't seen these for (many yrs), These are definitely the perfect must have staple for summer. These feel, fit & looks great on me as well too, a nice alternate change, but still 501's. Must come back for more*

Excelent quality fut perfect to my husband

Solid pants, don’t buy them too snug

zach45

May 11, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Levi’s for years now. My biggest complaint was that many of my pants would rip right under the crotch area after 6+ months of wear. I went up a size and the lifespan of my pants significantly extended, I’ve had some for well over 2 years with regular wear. If they’re too tight fitting in the waist it seems to place too much stress on the seams. Wear a belt and these pants will last! #win501

THE PERFECT FADED 501 JEAN

Nagel

Feb 9, 2018

I've probably got all kinds of 501s: Dark blue, grey, black, stretch, non-stretch. But I didn't have the perfect fade...the Ultra-beat. They're faded to the right shade, soft to the touch and sexy.When I bought them on-line a few days ago, I wanted to write a review then, but when I checked back, Levi's had this line: This product is no longer available. I joke to myself, "Egads! I bught the last Ultra-Beat in the world!" But Levi's must have put in an order to the factory to make more Ultra-beats. That's good because now more guys can be happy as I am with these great blue jeans.

i like them

Feb 20, 2019

I resisted buying online since, I believed, there was too much variability in size, so periodically trudged to a mall store to try on Levis. But gave it a shot and voila, they all fit perfectly. Well done Levis. I’m very happy!

What I wanted!

MOOSTERPOOT

Jan 2, 2018

What is hard to believe is the amount of (ugly, most uncomfortable & ragged looking); even harder to believe is the REDICULOUS prices people actually pay good money for them! CONGRATS LEVI'S for keeping the ole classic 501's around!!

Very snug and small for a 35 waist

golfhack

Mar 10, 2018

I usually wear size 34 jeans in other brands (Lee, Wrangler, etc.), but I ordered the 35" waist in these Levi's 501 Original Fit jeans. They are STILL TOO TIGHT! It's not just the waist that fits snug; the thighs and hips are also VERY tight. I would not buy these jeans ever again, and I'm a bit skeptical about getting any Levi's brand jeans.

Probably the best Jeans in the planet

Theresenrique

Jun 3, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can't go wrong with any pair of Levi's jeans the 501 is probably the best line of jeans Levi's put out the craftsmanship of any 501 Jean is magnificent love Levi's

DONALD

Mar 22, 2020

I have been wearing 501 Shrink to Fit for over 50 years. The only thing that has changed in that time is the size ;)

The absolute originals I can’t live without.

DenimDeity95

May 7, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are /the/ jeans. Original fit, original style, original indigo denim from the original company that started it all. They’re shrink-to-fit, so after their first wash or soak they conform to my body, not too tight and not too loose, just right. They’re super clean at first, but over time, they will fade in a completely original way because they’re mine. The fades and creases are all authentic and unique to me because they reflect my specific history. They hold memories, like when my dad would buy and sell them at flea markets to eager vintage denim heads. So, let me put it this way: Some people are suprised when I tell them I don’t put anything in my coffee. Inevitably, some ask: “Well, what’s it taste like?” and I tell them that it tastes like coffee. Nothing extra, nothing less. Pure. Just like these jeans :) #win501

Would buy again

Excellent jeans at an attractive price

felipep11

Oct 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are excellent jeans at a great price point. They fit very well - I am usually a size 32 and that’s the size I got and the fit is as expected so take your usual size. The fit on the leg is not too slim which is great if that’s what you’re looking for. The was on the jeans is very cool - it feels a little retro but goes great with almost any outfit. Given they are a lighter wash I think they are better suited to wear during the day. I have been wearing them pretty regularly over the last month (at least a couple times a week) and they have been holding up very well. I can tell they will last a long time.

Bad quality

I am glad I bought 5 pair of 501 shrink to fit jeans about 6 or 7 years ago. They have changed the levis, the color is CRUMMY, my hand wont fit in the POCKET and worst of all the materal is THINER, WOW MAJOR DOWN HILL SLIDE FOR LEVIS. I have been a levis guy for over 60 years inless levis changes back to the QUALITY that they USETO be known for NO LONGER, VERY DISAPOINTED in levis..

Very upset

Kiev

Oct 18, 2016

This is my fifth pair of levis 501, before all the pairs of jeans are produced in Mexico, and were perfect. Now made in Haiti, and they really are different, they are longer, wider leg. I write to you to let you know that I'm upset. It seems to me that I have a reject.

Fit like pants

Are square

Dec 14, 2018

I would go a waist size up though. Waist was a little tight. Length was good.

shrink to fit your body

Steve

Oct 14, 2022

I've been buying 501's forever, however, Levi's doesn't do a good job of explaining that "shrink to fit" means the pants will shrink to fit your body, but of course for that to happen you need to be wearing the pants while they are drying. DO NOT wash new 501's until you have soaked them in HOT water and then put them on for the whole day, drying while on your totally unique body. Then wash, you will be amazed at the fit.

Classic and always in fashion

It is truly hard to find these that I've always worn. We had to match sku #'s to finally get the correct ones, but they're perfect! Wish all the choices of "same/similar name" weren't so confusing!

Love the color; not the button fly

Zack

Jan 26, 2023

Really good pants. Fabric in the sweet spot between tough and cozy to the touch. The color on these is a very good dark gray without really getting into that class of colors you'd call "charcoal." Lovely. But Levi's really should just ditch this whole button-fly thing. It's weird. I think pretty much everyone prefers zippers. At a minimum, they should basically lead with the fact that these pants do not have a zipper because I think the average shopper would never realize that these and most casual shoppers are probably surprised these don't have a zipper. (I certainly didn't when I bought my first pair of 501 Originals and just assumed "button fly" in the listing meant there was a button at the top and not a snap.) There's probably some niche shopper who prefers the 97-button fly, but I haven't met them and I'd be cool with Levi's just confining listings of jeans like these to some section of the site where you'd have to be looking for them to find them instead of how they are now where people probably just stumble across them and even buy them without recognizing that they're kinda gimmicky by today's standards.

Shrink-to-Fit... The original best!

JohnCan

May 21, 2018

I simply love these jeans. They are a quintessential classic that really seems to embody the Levi's mission of providing a perfect-fit pair of denim. Sturdy but comfy, I would absolutely recommend this pair to any man (or woman!) who's in search of their next pair :) #win501

I took the chance of taking the info off my son's worn out 501's when I washed them and ordered a pair on-line. They fit him perfectly and he was very pleased to have a surprise gift after Christmas. They were expensive ordered this way but I am disabled and can't shop in the stores anymore. He looks great. It's amazing what a new pair of jeans will do for a guy. 501's are the only jeans my five sons will wear. Levi's has kept the same quality year after year and decade after decade (I wore them when I was a teenager 60 yrs ago). I'm very pleased at how it worked out.

No its not your body changing.

JustMe

Nov 10, 2021

I celebrated a significant weight loss, decided since my Jeans are now too baggy , to buy myself a couple new 501 STFs. I washed them a wore them a few times. In the meanwhile, while clearing out some clothes, hey I found 4 pairs of 25 year old Made in the USA 501 STFs, I barely wore. Stored in a hermetically sealed bag!!! The EXACT size I just ordered. The difference between them is staggering. The Made in Egypt I just bought have a tighter waist, looser seat and thigh down to the top of the calf then open up even wider. They fit very sloppy. They feel like 60% of the weight of the USA versions. The USA version doesn't feel tight at the belt line, but are snug at the seat and thigh, like LEVIs should. So its NOT me, its the product that changed

The Original go-to

Antonausventura

Jun 3, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Iconic, classic, always in style, original go-to Jean. Often imitated, never duplicated these jeans are perfect for any occasion (seriously my friend wore them for his wedding.) Do yourself a favor and pick up a pair, or two, or three. Happy days are on the way!

Perfect fit!

Chuckmunk

Jun 24, 2016

Finally took the plunge with 501 STFs. Normally I'm a 34x27 or 34x28. So I sized up as recommended, to a 35x30. Length seems to be fine. But today I'm buying my second pair, a 34x30. They'll be very tight in the waist at first, but will loosen up enough with wear. I can put up with that for the fit and comfort I should achieve after a little wear. Not a fan of the high waist, so I wear mine a little lower which causes some bunching that should relax a little over time. I already love the look and feel of the jeans, which I trust will only improve over time. My wife has not yet bought into the idea of not washing the jeans until after six months of daily wear, but I'm hoping she'll adjust.

Bullet Proof

ChefMarc

Jun 3, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have, for the past 12 months, honestly lived in one single pair of 501's, and they are bullet proof! I machine wash, line dry about every 2 weeks on the average, the the occasional once a week or once a month lapse ;) Would I prefer them to be made in the USA? Yes, of course. But even with that taken into consideration? Still a 5Star rating for their toughness, classic look, and fit.

I am always pleased with Levi jeans. Strong and durable, a comfortable fit that sits nicely in all the right places. Best thing is the price, with the current exchange rate, i saved around $50 by buying online from the states and having them sent to NZ.

Buttons impossible to button up.

Ryan

Overall poor quality. I could get a better pair of jeans at Walmart. The buttons are also impossible to button up. Way to time consuming.

John

Jan 12, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wish the fit was consistent. I have another pair of no stretch 100% cotton original fit 501s in a light wash that fit great. Ordered the same size in this wash, and the waist and length are fine, but the thighs are so much tighter than my other pair. Why is it so hard to have a consistent fit?

Tweeners, not quite soft enough, not far from a best friend

JJEM

Jan 6, 2016

These are great pants, and the color is alway a little off in the beginning, own it and move on. Go out and play, get muddy, treat them like dirt, and wash them hard when you get em dirty. Very soon, they are soft and mangled with your identity. In a year they are the softest best friend you have. What happens to me then is one or two of the belt loops breaks off, and I have a tailor sew a colorful patch behind where they reattach the belt loop to add more character.

Nothing like 'em

The jeans size was accurate. They are a bit tighter in the thighs than the 550s that I usually wear (and I have big thighs) Overall I like the jeans. The only downside is the button fly. It is impossible to open if your belt is still buckled. Love the color. They are made perfect. The color is nice too. Very blue with a nice variation to it.

Love the fit and comfort

Happy to know that the REAL STF 501s still fit as they always have. The pre-washed isn't really the same, nor, ESPECIALLY, the ones with zippers (505--Was told these fit like the 501s, BUT they really do not!)

I ordered 5 pair of 501's in 32" length and among the 5 pair there was over 2" in length difference. Two pair were the correct length of 32", one pair was 33", and the other two were over 34" in length. The tags on all 5 pair were labeled as 32". I have been wearing 501's for many years and have never had this problem. I am very disappointed in the recent quality of Levis

These were way too tight - my son couldn't even get them on, even though they were the same waist size as a pair of Levi's that fit loosely. Don't buy online; go to a store and try on Levi's before you buy.

A little different look...

You wear "blue" jeans for so long, that nothing else seems to exist?! These "black" blue jeans seem to add a touch of class. Much more comfortable over wearing a pair of slacks :o) ! You just gotta love 'em !

Sizing seems smaller with the black color

Canadianbandname

Mar 27, 2025

Sizing was way too small. I ordered another pair of Levi's 501s non-stretch in the same order, the same size, and have been wearing the same size/same fit for years, and these black ones were way too small.

having been a fan of indigo denim for the past decade, I recently decided to get a pair of black jeans. I searched far and wide for the perfect pair, and the Black 501's were the absolute BEST! The fit is perfect. the styling timeless, and the color is deep and true - not like some of the others which look a bit faded. These are also totally easy to dress up or down. (Ive worn them out with a blazer to dinner and have gone casual in neon flip flops and a t-shirt. Thanks.

I own over 100 pieces and I gotta say that these jeans are the only ones I have a few pairs of as they are fantastic. Look great with everything and don't shrink much in the wash which is great as I have put on a few pounds since purchasing my pairs. They are definitely worth the money as they last a while. Definitely reccommend! #win501

I love Levis but the quality lately is really poor. I bought a pair of jeans and owned them 3 months and they ripped by the rear pocket as they always do. You would think that Levis would be able to fix this issue.

This is a great Jean.

When I was in high school and college,,Levi 501 straight legs was the only jeans I wore. I just purchased a pair and I was really disappointed. There just not made like they used to be made back in the 80's. The material is tinner, the waist is higher and even though they fit well, there is a lot of slack in the back. I'm trying to figure out if a smaller waist size would fit better but not be to small in the other areas. So if someone can answer this question, I would buy me some more much missed 501's.

You can't go wrong with great pair of Levi's jeans!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Levi's 501 jeans from Influenster and Levi's in exchange for my honest review. I've been wearing the Levi's 32x32 dark indigo 501 Originals, and I have to say, they're an incredible pair of jeans. You really can't go wrong with them. Whether I'm at work, relaxing, or out and about, these jeans are perfect for any occasion. They fit just right and are tough enough to handle some serious hard work. If you're looking for a solid, all-around pair of jeans, Levi's is the way to go—they really know what they're doing.

Great price on them also, best around. Remember to get a size or two larger than normal, they truly are shrink to fit. That's the main reason I love them so much, fit like a glove.

I recently ordered 501 Original Fit & they are NOT Levi 501s. These are made from lightweight fabric and the stitching looks suspect. It's not nice to trick people into thinking these are 501s by calling them "original fit" 501s when they are nothing like the original 501s Levis has sod for years. Shame on Levi

runs smaller than other with same "fit"

LotusFiend

With the other "straight" fit Levi's like the 505, these run a size smaller in the waist and leg. It take a 30x34 in the 505, but need a 31x34 in these and the thighs are tight. If you have big thighs and calves you might find these a little uncomfortable and a little tight.

They are still the same button-up cool, the same mysterious indigo of adolescence they've been since I was 18, and yet I know in my head I'm 63. In the past 45 years I've bought them larger and smaller, but they always fit me the way that first pair did, smooth and just tight enough to make me feel a bit reckless. Levi's can rough them up, rip holes in them, color them pink or yellow, but we all know what the true 501's are. They're the pair dyed in blue rebelliousness, whole and ready to take on the world, at any age. #win501

Poor construction quality

Brady

Jan 25, 2023

Inseam is single not double stitched. These were to replace a shrink to fit pair of 501’s (purchased in 2005) that lasted close to 15 years with a double stitched inseam. Old pair eventually gave out in crotch area but have no doubt they lasted that long because inseam was strong. Disappointed to see construction quality has gone down since last pair purchased. Will be returning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Levi's 501 shrink-to-fit jeans are the best styled jeans with a long and interesting history. The quality, appeal and great fit have not diminished with time. For me Levi's 501s had become my all-time favorite item of clothing by the time I began attending college in 1962. I always liked seeing girls wearing them. I have worn Levi's jeans exclusively for 56 years and have always had Levi's 501s along with other Levi's products in my wardrobe. The 501 jeans cannot be improved upon and are fun to wear because they look great and are very comfortable. They are great for almost any occasion or activity such as hiking, camping or impromptu swimming. The button-fly is very convenient for those of us who do not like wearing underwear. Part of the fun is swimming in them and seeing and feeling them shrink. What perfect jeans they are. #win501

I bought 2 pairs of jeans for my husband, who has always worn shrink-to-fit jeans. These aren't anything like the old ones, which you washed in hot water and they shrank just right. After washing (in cold water, as directed), these are oddly stiff and almost shiny and have weird crinkly folds all over them. I told my husband he couldn't wear them off the farm in to town unless they soften up and look normal after more washings (2 so far). Yuck. They didn't shrink as much in length as advertised. We're very disappointed.

The 501 jeans fit better then the zipper kind. I ordered the 36 Waist and 30 Inseam. Jeans always run long on me -but the 501 Button Fly seem to fit lower in the waist and I like that---Could be even a little LOWER.

I recently purchased these in Galindo. First of all, they must have sent me an old pair as the color of the stitching wasn't the same as in the ones on the model in the picture above, and the color didn't seem as rich and blue - they seemed a bit faded. Thought these ran a bit too snug too in the waist and thighs, and I'm about average height and weight at 5"10 and 170. I washed these according to the directions, and the jeans shrank by over 2" in the waist and in the inseam. I couldn't even put them on after and was forced to give them away. Feels like I flushed my money down the toilet.

Since the restructuring, the fabric used for these jeans shrink more than normal unexpectedly, so you're forced to buy larger sizes until you get one that will fit after shrinking. The process has to be redone, with consecutive pairs. Its expensive when you're stuck with jeans you can't wear.

An Icon that Wears Well

I bought my first pair of Levis 501's when I was thirteen and they were white. Next pair was the indigo blue and I wore those for years. Third pair I bought and ran through the wash with a quart of bleach. No one had a pair of Levi's like mine and of course, everybody wanted a pair so I shared the trick. Over the years I've purchased many pairs of 501's before switching to 505 Relaxed Fit. I wear them to work, to play, on vacation, to dressy occasions with a dry cleaned shirt and sport coat and for everything in between. They're not pants, they're friends and I revere them and respect their ability to shed stains as they age. I've never bought another brand. And never will.

Levis gets it

JayMo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cool. Classic. Comfy. Casual. Levis gets the job done right. From my childhood days to my adult ways, Levis is the brand for me. I am a 501 man. A leader not a follower. Creative and independent. These qualities are important to me and obviously to Levi Strauss. They stick to what's gotten them where they are. And that's a great concept to follow. From their hats, to the shirts, to the jeans and shoes and all points in between, Levis is a never changing and always contemporary brand. And because of that, I will always be loyal.

The only game in town for odd sizes of Levi's

cander

Sep 5, 2024

I wear an odd size in Levi's 501 shrink-to-fit jeans - long inseam. I've been searching for a long time. You'd think Levis.com or a Levi's company store would have them, and you'd be wrong. Sheplers has them, although they count as a big-and-tall, which is more expensive than "normal" sizes. I've encountered this for 40 years, so I can't say I'm surprised or disappointed. Anyway, Sheplers hooked me up, and I'll keep coming back.

They are put through the test daily at work and wash up looking fresh and clean for the next work out. These are the only jeans he purchases....and have purchased!

Aug 16, 2012

I have a great deal of trouble finding jeans in women's' styles to fit. The sizes are not true anymore - yesterday's size 6 is like a size 8 or 10 today! I now wear a 0 to a 4, depending on the style and cut, but I HAVEN'T CHANGED - the sizes have. I am not a fan of the low rise styles; they either gape around my lower waist or they are too tight in the butt/thighs. I always wore Levi's 501 for men with oxford shirts back in high school, & I never stopped - they fit me just right without being completely tight. I can usually find them in thrift stores, but I really wanted a NEW pair of 501's! Alas, they almost never stock "W 28 L 32" - in retail stores, except in the "Shrink to Fit" type. I happened to go to the outlet store near where I live and the very nice salesman encouraged me to order online, emphasizing how painless it would be: "If you are not satisfied, you don't even have to ship them back, you can bring them in to us for your refund.". This was my first time ever to order clothing online, as I really prefer trying on clothes prior to purchase. And I am very presently surprised! Not only are my new jeans EXACTLY as I hoped for in terms of fit and quality, but I also got an excellent deal online and they arrived in less that week. Thank you for making my first experience ordering clothes online a GREAT one!

I always buy 501’s and this time I ordered these I washed them and they turned blue when they originally came in a grayish color that was my only disappointment other than that I love them just hate how the color changed :(

I bought these but made a big mistake I had already took all the tags off weeks before I wore them now I know what size to get and have to reorder the right ones.

Perfect for both casual and slightly dressier look

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always with Levi’s, the quality is top-notch-durable fabric, sturdy stitching and that iconic look that never goes out of style. The fit is classic and comfortable, with just right balance of structure and flexibility. The Med Indigo wash is versatile. Highly recommend!

On time and in good shape.

As always, my 501's are well made from good material. The fit as as expected, great. I should be ordering again in about two years.

I was a little skeptical of buying my first 501-STF. Didn't know how well they would hold up or how comfortable but after getting them and doing the proper "fit" break-in, I have to say that these are on par with some of the higher-end brands that break the bank. I love how they hold their shape and aren't too baggy nor too tight! Highly recommend picking up a pair and if your on the fence, jump into a pair and you won't regret it. #Win501 #SweepstakesEntry

Fits Right

I've been wearing jeans for 40+ years and the 501's fit my waist without being baggy in the butt or thighs. Most larger waist size (42+) jeans, including the 505's are baggy for me if the waist is comfortable.

From a woman, on a man's 501s

IndianaDogWalker

This is all I wore since I was a little kid, nearly a century ago... I've been wearing women's 501s lately and like them fine -- The men's are heavier so, it's like I have a winter set and a spring and summer set. For example, I wear a size 27 in women's Levis, I buy 30/32 in men's. In my opinion, they're still made better than the women's and altho the fit is different, there are advantages to both. I suppose I could get by with a men's 29, my preference is a jean that is trim that I can still get a boot under, if I choose.

Poor Quality

I bought 501 shrink to fit and I am very disappointed!! I haven't bought any for several years and the fabric is cheap, flimsy and the cut is not the same They don't fit right or look like the old vintage ones, ever since you sold out to cheap countries to make them Shame on you for destroying an American icon.

This is all my husband will wear. These are the only jeans he can compare from what he wore in the 80s and 90s. He's in construction and these jeans take a beating. They are quality made and stand up to the toughest jobs. They look and feel great on. These really are the original Levi's.If your looking for a good quality Jean that will last and not let you down ..These 501 are the real deal! I hope they stick around because after 32 years of being married this is all I have ever bought my husband. It's the one and only Levi's 501 #Levis501

nothing screams classic more than the 501s. fit is always great and they break in great. I typically get them in black but have been trying other colors. pair your favorite 501s w some boots and you'll look great!

Should stick to the original 501’s!

lpcongas

Dec 22, 2024

Totally confused about the type of material used in this shrink to fit? They are made of a harder material and feels uncomfortable. I even washed them first. Unfortunately I shouldn’t have because I should have sent them back and exchanged them for the original 501’s!

I haven’t bought “shrink to fit” in a long time and was worried about how to shrink them. Bought 2” longer in length and 1” larger in the waist. Did a hot water soak with the hottest water I could get for a half hour. I then hung to dry until barely damp and wore them until dry. Cold water wash and hang dry after that. Will buy nothing else from now on!

Fit and mens sizing

Jman

Dec 12, 2021

Are used to work for Levi’s as a kid as everyone knows they’ve came back in style. And normally I were 36x32.. but since the 501s fit more sleek or in the thighs I recommend ordering two sizes up.. I got a 38x32. and I still have a little room in the waist and the thighs fit snug but in a good way and the jeans will break in overtime and obviously shrink when you wash them. Order 2 sizes up If you’re a big guy 170lbs+ Your welcome

always a good deal

This is the fit I've been searching for. New they have a subtle looseness, yet stiff quality denim is still there. I'm wearing them as long as I can to break them in before washing them. I've tried the Shrink to fit, and I don't like them as much. The 501 Original "Rinse" is the best pair of jeans you can buy. I'm 37 years old, 150 lbs, slim in the thigh, not muscular. Buy your denim for long term, live in it!!

Denim Quality is not good enough

Fahad

Jun 25, 2015

I always used to buy a 501 after every two three months but now I have totally stopped purchasing any product from Levi because they are making very less durable products and the jeans wear off in a year. Why would anyone like to buy Levi if it is not a lasting product. Uptill 7,8 yrs back, they used to have quality but now it is waste of money to buy disposible garment on a high price.

I've worn nothing but Levi original 501s for years. Never had a problem finding my size and now they got rid of the 35" waist/36" inseam.There are normal guys who wear longer then a 34" length. I don't want the shrink to fits, I prefer the originals. I guess its time to switch since the competitors still offer a 35" waist and 36" inseam. What a waste!!!

The 501 never goes out of style. My wife recently talked me into the colored 501, (I have always been a denim fan). I resisted; she persisted. When I finally agreed to try the white & black options, I was surprised! They are definitely elevated style. I will definitely be buying more of the colored options now that I can see for myself how cool & versatile they are!

There are different way to wear and wash these but for me I don't wash mine for the first year. I like to slap on a new pair and wear them straigt for like a month then I walk into the ocean near my house and walk around in them till they dry. After which they fit like a glove. Love these always have been wearing them since I was a kid I have had a pair in my closet for the last 30 years.

This is my 4th pair of 501 shrink to fit (one per year for the last four years). Every pair fits just like the last - I do the whole hot bath thing for 10-15 mins....get out and let them dry (I haven't seen a difference if I leave them on or take them off to dry). I am always amazed at how much they shrink initially in the bath. Inevitability - we end up washing and drying these with our regular laundry so they end up shrinking even more over time. Either way, they are durable and fit my body well over time. I love having my first pair still available for the dad weekend wear / yard work.....

Favorite Pair

Dave

Dec 5, 2024

This is my favorite pair of jeans (the modern black color specifically). I love the way the cotton feels and they stay black for a while if you don’t wash them too frequently. My recommendation this to wear them for 2-3 months before you wash them in an actual washer and dryer. If you need to clean them during this period, just soak them in a tub of hot water with some castile soap for 20 minutes and let them hang dry. This is how you achieve a nice fade and a super comfortable fit.

Great fit after some experimenting

AlexanderHamilton

Aug 17, 2016

I, for the most part only ever buy Shrink to Fit levi's, so my blurb is mainly about that. These fit fantastic, my legs aren't skinny, but as a fitness instructor, they are well defined in the quads and hamstring area, so getting jeans to mold to your body shape is a huge plus. I do have a slight issue with getting consistency though on sizing. The manufacturer suggests that you go up a size and length, but I found that getting them true to size and soaking yields the best results for me. I went up in sizes as suggested, and well the result was a pair of jeans that seemed a bit frumpy. Your mileage may vary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The last time I had 501s in white was back in 1985 in my last year of high school. I have always loved the 501s, and now that whites are back, I decided to get a pair. They are true to size and fit me the same way (I'm still wearing size 32, like 30 years ago.) My wife loves them! They look very nice with t-shirts or dress shirts, shoes or sneakers, sweaters or a blazer. Don't think twice and get a pair before they run out of them.

Quality in 501 Shrink to fit going downhill

Sarahwildlife

Dec 23, 2023

Who is disappointed as the material does not seem as heavy or sturdy as the original 501 shrink to fit that I’ve been buying for over 20 years. Also, the right bottom of the leg seem around the ankle is impossible to keep curled down. It is rolled up all the way around and even with ironing it will not stay down so little disappointed for sure in this pair.

The 501 was THE jean when I was a kid. It had been years since I had worn Levis, but in recent years they've made a strong comeback with more contemporary fits, so I dove back in. I've come full circle. I'm even slimmer now after a diet and exercise regimen over the past 2 years, so the 501 actually fits me like some of the slimmer styles. It's great to have another pair in my drawer again.

These jeans are truly timeless and comfortable.

The 501 jean has always been my "go to" jean. The stretch denim used in this product line only makes the pant more comfortable and who wouldn't appreciate that? Some people don't like the button fly but I prefer it. Wish I could find Levi's corduroys with it. The fit is exactly as I expected it would be...perfect.

I've worn Levi's for no less that 52 years and I suppose I always will, they can't be beat for fit and feel.

As I said previously I have worn Levi's for 52 years running and have never thought of buying any other brand, period. They simply are the best blue jean made in the world today!

Purchased two weeks ago. The fit is wrong because the left leg is cut wrong and it twists the seems are on top of my knee and behind.

The blue jean that started it all. Our button-fly 501® Original Jean is still straight through the seat, thigh and leg, a bestseller for its one-of-a-kind fit. The tilted waistband pitches toward the front. Wear it true to size or size it up for a looser look. 100% Cotton.

A great classic jean, and affordable raw denim

This is a classic fit jean in a great, classic denim. I soaked them in hot water and hang dried. I did not wear them during the soak! I went with my usual waist size of 32 which fit a touch large before soaking, but just perfect post soak. I sized up to a 34 inseam from my usual 32 and this was just about right after soaking. A little extra material at my ankles while standing so as to avoid them riding high when I sit. I have another pair in 36 inseam which allows me to cuff them for a different look. For reference, I am about 5'9". With judicious soaking and washing, these will fade to a lovely worn look over time. Any denim head should have at least one pair of these in their closet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect fit and extremely comfortable. The sizing was right, I’m borderline 32 or 34 and these fit as a 32. Stylish design, and from what I’ve seen they’re pretty durable. I’ve worn them a bunch and haven’t had any issues yet.

The 32" waist I ordered measures 34". I need 38" inseam but you don't offer a smaller waist size in the 501 or 505 with 38" inseam. Very disappointed! I've been buying Levis for 60 years; but, over the last 10 years the waist has run bigger and bigger.

I really like this new material. I have always liked the 501 jeans. The old material jeans were a little bit constraining when I had to lift my legs and climb around. This new material keeps the jean at the same place on my waist and lets me climb around all I want. I very pleased with them. I bought my first pair in Montana, where I was able to try them on first. But the only other place i have seen them is on the Levi's website. Yes, I will purchase this again.

Inconsistent.

I bought 2 pair of 501 Jeans last month because Penny's was closed. O was shock to see that they were the button down fly, which I hate. It takes for ever to go to the bathroom and and often slide them down so I can make it on time. Secondly when I washed them they were all wrinkled.

Disappointed

rcog

Dec 26, 2011

Last year I decided to go back to my roots and wear Levi's, the jeans I grew up with. I asked my wife for 2 pair for Christmas. I requested my regular size, which were initially a little large. As I wore each pair a bit longer the waist loosened up and I was steeping on the back of the hem on each leg as I walked. Additionally 3 belt loops separated for the pants, leaving small holes. I assumed that this might stem from my stepping on the hems so for this year I asked for another 2 pair. This time I requested 1 size smaller for the waist and inseam based on my experience last year. This years versions were so small I can't get them over my thighs. So the pants don't fit or wear as expected.

501's have been my ONLY jean for the past 40 years, ever since my brother turned me on to them when I was 18 and starting college. They LAST, because of the weight and quality of the denim, they hold their shape during days of wear, they launder well, and I still get compliments on their fit, from men young and old, and I'm a 58 year old woman! Have only gone up in waist size 1 inch in all these years, now a 31/34, which says a lot about how the jeans have not changed their design profile in all this time, and I still weigh about the same! I have always preferred Men's 501's as they fit my body better than the Women's styles, and I believe are a far better product, because men demand it. Love my 501's, and will keep wearing them til the end!

Same quality and fit as ever.

A lot of things in this world have changed since I had my first pair of "button Jeans'. (shrink to fit about 1954 if I remember correctly) Levi 501s are still good for me even if my profession frowned on such attire. The tide has turned and now I see "jeans" in the workplace where they should have been all along. Of all the jeans available, 501s are the top.

What are these?

Craig

Jan 3, 2020

There are clearly not 501 Original Shrink-to-fit jeans, which I have been buying and wearing for about 50 years. Oops. The ones I got are entirely different. They looked the same before washing, but did not undergo the big change that the original ones do during the wash and dry. I'm going to try them, as the size seems right. But I'm not sure what I got here.

I'm 6'0" 190lbs, these jeans felt tight in the wrong place, and were not what I consider to be "comfy". I ended up with the 514s, perfect intersection of comfort and style in my opinion. I did not like the 501s.

Roberto

I bought my shrink to fit jeans size 32x32 early this month. This pair ended up being too long for me after the process of shrinking to them to fit. I have bought this size six times in the past 10-20 years they have all fit perfect. They are great jeans that have always shrink to fit to my desired size. I now have a pair of jeans that Levis will not take back and I will need to get them cut to fit. I am disappointed with this pair of jeans. I hate to just cut them to fit, it takes away from the look of wearing nice fitting jeans.

Crazy Fit Variations

Robert

Oct 1, 2021

I have been wearing 501s for many years. I have probably owned close to 50 pairs. I know my size. It has always fit perfectly. In the last 7 years I have purchased 8 pairs, all the same size (on the label) and every single one has fit differently. Wildly differently - two pairs are way too big, three pairs can't even be buttoned, two pairs fit perfectly, one pair was way too long. That means 2 out of 8 pairs fit the way they should and the way I expected. I finally started trying them on in the store (something I've never had to do before) and haven't purchased a pair since because none fit the way I expect. I'm afraid that after 30+ years of loyalty to Levi's, I have to move on. If a company can't figure out simple quality control - they're lost.

Perfect every time!

Stretch?

Pacodegallo

Feb 4, 2017

IMO these are normal 501 jeans. I do not see, notice, or feel where it stretches. I have 508 and 513s that stretch more time Han these do. I also ordered a 36x29 and that's how the pants were labeled but they seemed longer than other 29L Levi's I had. Side by side comparison makes me think these are actually 30L. Good pants but not true as advertised.

The Sizing is Huge - Be Warned !

Anonymous

Feb 4, 2013

The product was exactly as ordered, but, it appears the measurement method provided on the Levis website bears no relation to the actual sizing. I followed the sizing instructions given, measuring my waist as specified. Unfortuneately the jeans were between 2" and 4" too big in the waist. As I am in another country the jeans are not worth freighting back to the USA for exchange, so I am attempting to have them altered locally. Am now wary about ordering clothes online as a result, as the sizing is always a risk, but I knew that was the risk before I started.

I received these for Christmas and knew nothing about shrink to fit. I googled how to shrink and I wore them in a very hot bath for an hour then wore until they dried and they fit PERFECT. They pulled in perfectly for a relaxed but tailored fit. The waist did not tighten at all. The seat did. Also buy 2 inches longer than your fit as it shrinks up two after shrinking. They are raw denim so they will shrink the FIRST time you put water on them so shrink to fit in a tub I think works better than just submerging them in hot water for an hour.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing 501's or years and years. I work in a warehouse so that involves a lot of wear and tear on my clothes. As of recent I noticed that the stitching isn't holding up as well or as long. Maybe a thinner type of thread is being used? They still last longer than other brand jeans I won't be switching. Just thought that was worth mentioning. #win501

Can't button the button fly on 10 of 10 jeans

FLYWONTBUTTON

Jun 26, 2019

All ten pairs - the top button the jeans could be buttoned. NONE of the other buttons could be buttoned because the buttonholes were not opened enough during manufacturing. It was necessary to open up the buttonholes myself to be able to button the fly. Poor quality control. Have worn these type of Levis for decades. This is the first time I have encountered a quality issue like this. If this is the way things are going to be going forward, I may have to rethink my choice of jeans manufacturer.

Once you have a 501, the rest are nothing.

5 stars for the jeans but I needed to exchange them for a shorter size. I couldn’t figure out to exchange so just returned and rebought the right length. Cost me an extra $10 so no stars for that process.

This is my favorite model ever!

Although I'm satisfied with the purchase of these jeans, as well as the rest of my 501's ordered, the black Friday sale was almost non existent. I wait the entire Year to buy my 501 Levis specifically on black Friday only to be shocked at the lack of "sales" offered. There was only a $5 differential from dept. stores. Come on Levis you can do better than that next black Friday, right ?

Perfect casual jean.

HighRise

Feb 5, 2014

First I tried the 510s because I like slim fitting jeans, but I can't STAND low-rise. I tried the 511s but the fabric wasn't tough enough. Next I tried the 501s. They fit nice and slim, but the rise is actually close to the waist!! I usually wear a 29, but they run a size big so I bought a 28 and they broke in great. Fabric feels thick and durable. Black is rich and dark. Great jean. My only critique is I wish the cuff would be a little thinner, but from the knee to the waist they're perfect. I also wish it was a zipper, but at least the fly will never come down.

I wear Levi's 501 more than 10 years & I have bought 5 pairs of Levi's 501, this pairs of Levi's are made in Egypt, the quality of jeans fabrics & cutting is not good like those old ones, pls don't kill this great Levi's 501 jeans, because all my jeans are 501!!!

Hey! They fit!

DrMark

Dec 31, 2018

I didn't realize these were button-down instead of zipper, but that is fine. My only complaint is that I miss the 2 extra rear loops (jeans always had 7 loops, not 5), and the space between the two front loops is barely enough to accommodate the larger buckles I wear.

May 3, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these jeans because I wanted something classic and timeless. I have owned raw in the past, and I have owned Levi’s in the past, but this was my first pair of raw levi’s. I brought a size bigger in the waist, and four bigger in the length (I’m a 30x30 and got 31x34 and I wanted them a little longer than a 30). i shrank them down by soaking them in the tub in hot water for 45 minutes and dried them in the heat outside. I repeated this once more because I wanted to be sure they were fully shrunk. They look great and are more of a slim fit now than the original 501 fit. The biggest bonus for me is that I feel like I’m wearing a part of history! #win501

These feel almost as good as the pair I had in the '80s! Of course, I've only been wearing them for a couple of weeks, not 5 years. I'm sure they'll be perfect when they "break in". The one thing I wish had been on the website was the instructions for choosing what size to buy. It's very different depending on whether you never wash, get wet and wear to dry, or machine wash and dry. These will be my get wet and wear to dry. I'll probably get another pair for the machine wash and dry version!

Great jeans that you can always expect.

Great pair of jeans

DrMike

Dec 2, 2017

I love these jeans. They develop character as you wear them and stretch just enough not to constrict movement. My only wish and the reason they are 4 out 5 rather than 5/5, is I’d like them to be heavier weight denim but this too has advantages and disadvantages. Overall I’ll be getting these again.

Great fit everywhere but tight in the thighs

foxtrot1969

Dec 31, 2017

Bought these for my son. He's 6'4" with a medium build, not chunky, and I bought him the 34x34, which is what he wears in other jeans. He prefers a straight-leg fit and these fit the bill everywhere but these had no give in the thigh. His thighs aren't abnormally large, but if you don't have thin legs, be advised these may be constraining.

Great jeans but....

Great classic jeans - time for button fly to go

Timothy

Oct 23, 2019

Classic 501 jeans - first pair I've bought in 25 years, Still has good as I remember them, but horrified to see they still have a button fly. I'm 61 years old. Don't want to mess with a button fly when I have to go - fumble, fumble, fumble. However I want everything else kept the same 501-style in all other respects. Little too baggy in the butt too. Men my age all have flat butts, so they need to be cut down a bit.

SteveJ

Apr 28, 2021

Though I am not adverse to change, it is also nice to know that some things are kept over time. Most styles of jeans come and go (C'mon, Levi's how about a bell bottom offering), But Levi's 501s have always been a timeless and iconic clothing cornerstone that, though probably not appropriate for the most formal of settings, has gained so much acceptance through the years that is as acceptable to see them on a person out for a dinner at a 4 star restaurant as it is to see them at a rough and rugged worksite (maybe not the same pair). I lament that it is sometimes difficult to find the original style in brick-and-mortars. Personally, I hope to never see the end of the original 501s. And the closer to the original that they can be kept, the better.

unreliable sizing.

dm

Nov 23, 2023

Ordering was easy and plesant. The 40/36 jeans seem great but are probsbly too large. Last pairs I recently ordered and returned were a size smaller but very small. Last time I ordered 38/36 while wearing an old pair of 38/36 that fit perfectly. The new 38/36 were very small without having been exposed to water. So I ordered the next larger size that is too much larger. Plan to return the larger size.

Really hold up and outlast all other brands

Brad G

May 1, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few years back I decided to try another brand of jeans to try to save a few bucks. I tried several different brands over time. I found that they rarely fit exactly as expected and even worse (and more importantly), they didn't hold up very long at all. I went back to the jeans I'd been wearing my whole life and I can't tell you how happy I've been. No matter how many pairs of 501 jeans you buy, you can be assured that they will fit exactly the same. I wear my jeans when I'm riding my Harley, playing with the kids and having a great outing with the wife. And I never have to worry about any issues with fit or getting any holes in the jeans after just a few months. I'm once again a believer that paying for quality is ALWAYS worth it. #WIN501

I bought my first 2 pairs of 501 originals in San Francisco in 2016, have worn them constantly and they've lasted well. Being slim I have found the 501 button jeans fit better around the rear and when time to replace they were the obvious choice. The online ordering system was very easy to navigate, and the jeans arrived in NZ from Australia within a fortnight. Can't ask for more than that.

Awesome jeans. I typically wear 32W 33L. I bought 32W 36L and submerged them in hot water for about an hour. I then hung them up over night. When they were touch dry I put them on. The waist was a little tight but still closable, and after a hour of wear stretched out again and was perfect. The length shrunk 3in from 36in to 33in and was also spot on.

What happened to 501 Levis?

Hooktender

Jul 6, 2012

501 Levis have been going through an evolution since they quit making them in America. The pockets have gotten shorter, they've become somewhat long-waisted, and they don't last as long. But the last pair I got were made out of a thinner quality of denim, and they just didn't fit right. The waist was so tight, that when you finally got them buttoned the rest of the trousers fit like a flour sack. And thought they were supposed to be shrink-to-fit, they didn't seem to shrink much and they didn't fit. If anybody went back to making real Levis again, they could sell them for a fortune.

Tight

These are great when you're in High School and don't work for a living, but with as many year in the market I expected more. I need a comfortable pair that's designed to last for manly activities! I have countless numbers that wear out over the wallet back pocket and in the crotch. Am I the only person this happens to? Don't even get me started with super skinny jeans. Bring back the complete button fly, toughen up on the obvious wear zones, and while I have your attention, a little flattery in the seat to keep up with women in leggings wouldn't hurt either. Go with black labels so people don't read my size from 50' away.

I've worn both shrink-to-fit and pre-shrunk versions of Levis 501s since the '60s. They've been my go-to pants for casual dress. I've been disappointed to see the fabric getting thinner and thinner over time. I suppose it's a price-cutting move, but I'd much rather pay more for a quality jean that lasts longer. Anyway, after a long absence from shrink-to-fit 501s, I thought I'd give them a try again--for the sake of nostalgia if nothing else. After washing and drying my new pair, they fit just fine but I was very disappointed at the front pocket depth. In this era of cell phones being carried in the front pocket, you need a pocket depth that fits the phone and allows you to move and sit in comfort. Instead, the phone now barely fits in the pocket, and when sitting down, the phone jams into the bend of the thigh because it sits too high. In what is probably another cost-saving move similar to the reduced denim weight, the pocket has been shortened about an inch in length. If Levis won't bring back the heavier and better fabric and stitching of days past, at least bring back the normal pocket depth in the shrink-to-fit 501s. It might raise the price of a pair of jeans a penny, but so what? Quality and functionality matter. Levis used to be all about that.

Lasting quality

I’m very happy with my recent purchase the seams are impeccable the denim is top quality the color exactly what I envisioned when I wanted, stitching and rivets displayed attention of a very good jeans garment. Levi’s remains the same trusted company that continues to foster the American tradition.

501s Are The Only Jeans

Dec 14, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have exclusively worn Levis 501 shrink-to-fit jeans for 45 years, through dozens of pairs. The jeans and my body have adjusted perfectly to each other, such that any other jeans just don't feel right. Not even other Levis jeans. They are also available in a wider variety of sizes than most other jeans, so they can please both slimmer and huskier folks.

Got to love Levi's

The only Jean to wear

501 original fit Jeans are the only Jean to wear. I've worn 501's since the '70's and the only Jean I will wear. Levi Jeans not only fit great to give the best look and enhance your body, but the button fly is so sexy too. I highly recommend them to everyone.

not happy with thinner denim

Montana Red 74

Jan 24, 2022

40 years ago and more I started wearing the 501' shrink to fit and was a die hard fan...I spend my days in the saddle and these jeans are part of my standard equipment, my faithful, dependable, hard to destroy daily jeans....right before the last Texas based factory moved to Mexico thr denim thinned....I cannot yell you how disappointed I was, now they have taken another hit in the thickness feature causing them to be less than functional...the shrink to fit has been compromised as well....Even though I wear chaps daily over my jeans, the thread barren jeans are not acceptable...it used to take a year of abuse to achieve the same thickness as a new pair purchased today.....what gives? I do not reccomend these anymore and will have to go to cotton duck jeans which do not fit and are uncomfortable to wear in the saddle until they are several washings and several months of wear...whi h then they fall apart....Wrangler"s do not fit me in any way shape or form.....you really lost a good customer....and I am not the only one that feels this way.....get a better weight like 14.75 oz and back to the shrink to fit please....

Nice fit

My son loves these 501's. I live 20 miles from the nearest Levi store and 100 miles to the outlet. Being able to order online and get them delivered is super. And I can always get the size I need. The stores don't always have his size (skinny and long)! This kid rides saddle broncs, trains horses, and works on ranches in Texas when he's not in college. His Levi's take a beating, but they don't wear out. Great value, good looks, and they fit him well. He is very cute. Maybe he should be a model for Levi's??!!!

Have always preferred 501 shrink-to-fit to any other brand or style. I find it interesting that people have said they're true to size. Anybody knows they shrink 1" in the waist and about 2"in length. Always have. I bought two pair three years ago and they have been my daily work wear. I prolly have another year or two before work wears them out.

Dear Mr. Levi, Perhaps I've bought the wrong jeans! I'm very poor and waited 17 months to make this purchase. I was very disappointed with my new 501 shrink to fit jeans. When I was young they were giant pants that were stiff and dark when we got them we got in a hot bath tub and then wore them all day until they tried on us, our legs turn blue or rather indigo and it was quite an experience. I was looking forward to that again and what arrived were nearly as faded as my two-year-old 511's. Perhaps I have purchased the incorrect jeans. Please advise. Sincerely, Andrew

I purchased a pair of the navy levis 501 and when they arrive I was extremely disappointed. They were way too roomy in the legs and hip area and the quality of the denim was extremely thin. Its seems like Levis is cutting corners and trying to cut cost. These jeans were nothing like the past 501 jeans that made Levis one of the best company's. Shame on you Levis.

Joey

Jul 13, 2020

I was looking for raw denim jeans when I came across these. After some research I realized this was the best raw denim you could get for your money. It also helps that it is made by this iconic company, Levi. The shrinking process was not as bad as it seemed and the benefit of molding your own jeans is priceless. It is by far the most comfortable (and best looking) pair of jean ever! Well worth the effort and price. The denim is a little thinner than my older 501s, but it adds to the comfort. It's 100% cotton and made in Egypt.

Classic jeans!

I already had a pair of 501 jeans (Stone Wash), I purchased a pair of Black and Dark Stone Wash and they are a little smaller than the Stone Wash pair I have. I guess it is a sign to get in better shape. I took off all the labels before i tried them on, which made it hard to return.

Levi's 501 Simply the Best Jeans!!!

Levi501forever

Oct 12, 2018

I got my first pair of Levi's 501's in high school. They were really popular back then in the late 90's. Once I wore them I knew I was wearing the very best jean there was. Incredibly comfortable and durable and the button fly is such a great and iconic feature of the jean. These days 501's are the only jean I wear. I definitely recommend 501's to everyone and would love to see more ladies wearing them too. In my opinion 501's and other types of Levi's look so much better on a lady than any other type of jeans that are out there. So whether you are a country guy or lady working on a farm or ranch, or live in the city and need a great everyday jean for work or play you can't go wrong with the original Levi's 501 Button Fly Jeans!!!

These jeans have been my standard for jeans for many, many years, but sometimes unable to locate the size I feel most comfortable in. Through your online purchasing I will never have to do without again. These jeans last me for a good long while, so I am now set for comfort and reliability for a time to come.

Just not the same

Cowboywife

Apr 16, 2018

My husband has been wearing the 501 Shrink to Fit for decades. Sometime over the past year they have changed. The fabric shrinks faster and to a smaller size after only one wash. The denim is lighter weight and actually snags. He wears these jeans for work. He is a cowboy. These are never going to hold up. It is unfortunate. He is 6’8” and loved his 501s. Now we have to search for a replacement.

Nice color

Recently received my second pair of the Caraway Garment Dye. Felt the first pair ran a little small and returned them. Possible it was just me but worth the label charge. Nice dark khaki like color medium weight denim pants/jeans. Went a size up, happy with the fit and now am ordering a second pair to keep for my wardrobe. Good for everyday wear mild weather, summer weather outdoors and casual office wear year round.

Still the same great classic

Caelan

May 2, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the first time since the mid-1980s, I bought a pair of 501s a couple of months ago. When I last bought them, there were no women's version, the same 501s for everyone. They always seemed to fit both men and women equally well. They're still the same great jeans I remember! The denim is still heavy and tough, the stitching will probably hold up long after I've worn through the knees, but they're still soft and comfortable, and the fit is still perfect for my body. My only concern was an odd location for a seam, the only reason I didn't give these jeans 5 stars. The side seam falls very forward on my leg, slightly uncomfortably, but not enough to make me want to return them. I don't know if it was this one individual pair, or if it's the cut. I plan to buy more, so I will know soon enough. Hopefully I will #win501 to get a whole collection of them!

Perfect fit!!

Lifelong 501 wearer; this fabric is thinner, softer, and am quite certain that they won't wear as well, but will let you know. Looser in the rear, tighter in the thighs than the originals, but will still wear them. Wish they had a 'maybe' button for the recommendation option.

How I wished these fit

NickyV

Dec 16, 2016

I'm a tall guy (6' 5"), who weighs about 230. I carry some weight around my midsection, and have fairly muscular legs (25" thighs, 19" calves). I read and read some more, the reviews on the 501 stretch jeans, thinking that they'd be worth a try in 38x36. Yeah, these just weren't for me. It's not that they were too snug in the legs, it was the rise - it was all wrong in the rise. The pants were uncomfortably tight in the crotch and the butt. I elected to return the 501's for 541's instead; which I am wearing now, and are happy with.

Levi's are awesome.

I bought these jeans for my boyfriend. He is specific in the fact he will only wear 501 Jeans. He loves the color; but the only downfall on the jeans is that they attract lint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kind of a bummer that the quality has gone down so severely. I used to get 2 or 3 years worth of hard adolescent use out of a pair of 501s, modern ones will last about a year with moderate wear before splitting or tearing somewhere.

This was my first time buying online. Love the Jeans. Had to buy online becaue the stores no longer carry the 501's. Too bad for them. Online is easier. No guessing were to go. Will buy online from no on, direct from company.

Not a good fit for,a,straight legged Jean.

I ordered for my son and they were small in the waist and big in the leg. Not really how a straight leg should fit. And it's material was stiff as cardboard! Total turn off to my eighteen-year-old who is FINALLY starting to wear denim!

I have worn Levi's 501 Brand Jeans since the early 70's. I started to wear them because I could get the correct length. I keep wearing them because they fit and they have a classic style. Love them, always!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great to finally be able to own white jeans as a tall person. I was able to get a 36” inseam on the 501 style. That said, I wish Levi’s would offer a looser fit style in white with a 36” inseam. The 501 is cut for a much younger body style and I am not a fan of button fly. But this pair will do for now. Hey Levi’s - us older tall people need a looser fit option with a zipper fly. They will sell!!!

Purchased two 501 jeans in December 2017. Fit well, but noticed the rear left belt loop on both broke after just a month, and I never wear belts. 5 months later, right loop on one pair broke. Stepping into truck today, and the inseam busted out of one pair. Nothing like the 501 jeans I wore as a teen in the 80s which lasted well into my 20s with a far more active lifestyle. Other brands of jeans I wear last fine. Never again, Levis. Fooled me twice.

The best jeans!

I am a long time wearer of 501s and ordered another pair online, only to find that the 501 fit had been "updated." My primary complaint is that the waist rises much to high now. Please make a new model and name it something new! Big mistake Levi's, you had a classic and you've blown it.

The 501 has been changed with in the last year. The fit is big and baggy, the pockets moved down 1.25" and the pant hem is now .20" down from .55", less that half the size it was. These new ill fitting 501's are designated with the Long nylon tag on the watch pocket side. Customer service confirmed over the phone the Style change for this year. I guess "Original 501" is just a name.... that doesn't account for much. In the picture the right pair are the 18 month old jeans. Check the hem size and the pocket placement.

Jun 13, 2019

i decided to purchase a pair of these jeans for working over the summer, as i needed a pair of durable well fitting jeans. many reviews by so called old timers online described the low quality of these jeans compared to those of previous years, but i bought them anyways thinking that i don’t need an incredible pair of jeans, just a relatively high quality pair. i was disappointed to learn that after soaking and shrinking to fit and casually wearing the next day for only 10 hours or so, the waist has already bagged out, and the denim no longer retains much rigidity. i feared this would be the case as the denim was worryingly light before i soaked, and sadly i was right. if they show drastic signs of wear like this in the first 10 hours, i don’t have much hope on how they’ll hold up in the future. the old timers were right. these jeans are not worth your money or the time and effort required to properly shrink to fit. i would recommend nearly any other pair raw of jeans, raw denim or not, over these.

I like the way the 501 fits

Would have been great if they were zipper fly and not "button fly." Not sure if this was on my end or yours, but pictures showed "zipper fly" when I ordered them. Had the same problem last year. So either your descriptions are misleading, or I Sam missing something. Don't think I'll order online anymore.

I have been wearing 501's for over 40 years. These jeans fit as well as the first pair I ever bought. My last pair survived laying my Ducati down, and even though I had some road rash, the Levi's did not tear. I washed them, and there was no sign of damage to the jeans. Even though the 501's are made in Mexico, I am very happy that Levi's is employing American workers in Pennsylvania.

Still a good pair of jeans

Lydia63

Jun 10, 2013

Fit was just a bit smaller than before. I also noticed that the thread count was less than before or better put the jeans were thinner than before. I still like them but I would appreciate the "old ones" back. I am still having a hard time finding 505 shrink to fit but I can throw them in the dryer at a higher heat level and have them shrink. Customer service was good and the time to get them was good .

No two of same style fit the same?!?!?

Summers

Jan 31, 2017

I always buy four pair of the same style, in this case 501s none have the same overall length. What's up with that! Do they use modern standardized technology to measure and cut the fabric?!? Oh well, otherwise same old Levi's. I'll keep buying them and being amazed at the lack of consistency in fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally, I'm a regular blue denim kinda guy. I've been wearing Levi's 501s since I was in high school, and still wear the same size (31W 30L) as I did when I graduated high school in 1985. I've always got about a half dozen pairs of the classic blue in my wardrobe rotation at any given time. But, in my bottom drawer, is a pair of jet black 501s that only comes out for concerts. This pair of Levi's has seen Kiss, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Mötley Crüe, Slayer, Alice Cooper, Anthrax, the Struts, Death Angel, Testament, Ghost, and the Foo Fighters, just to name a few. One simply cannot go wrong wearing black 501s to any show. Accessorized with a pair of black Chuck Taylors and a black t-shirt, black 501s will simply have you more ready to rock than any other pants you could possibly wear. #win501

Inconsistent Quality

Susan

Mar 19, 2023

My husband has worn 501 STF jeans for decades. The last time I ordered some, they came out of the wash twisted with numerous deep wrinkles that left lighter colored streaks. They are difficult to fold. I end up trying to wrestle them into submission every week, and I curse the name Levi! Even so, I recently purchased 4 new pair. Three pair came out of the wash twisted and wrinkly. The other pair came out perfectly and felt softer. I checked the labels and found the 3 wrinkled pair were made in Mexico. The good pair was made in Egypt. It’s maddening to know there are better quality versions that I may never see again. It’s the worst lottery ever.

Fast Eddy

Sep 1, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE 501 button down shrink to fit jeans. I have been wearing them for 53 years (that is not a misprint). I was a little surprised by my latest pair though. I typically wash them in cold water, then wear them for about and hour (yes, before they dry), then hang them on the line until dry. This usually results in a perfect fit. However, this pair is a little tight (no I haven't gained weight). I bought a pair last year and gave them the same treatment and they fit great. Don't know what to think. I'd hate to order a size larger next time, only to find that this pair is a "one off".

Perfect jeans but imperfect consistency

I have owned about 6 pair of Levis 501 in dark, medium and light stone wash. Of the 6 pair, two of them wore thin in the crotch after about 20 wears. I got them replaced under levis warranty which i’ll say is awesome. However the pair’s I got back as a return fit much different than the one’s I had sent in. I had even taken measurements and the leg openings were almost 1 inch less and the legs were 1” narrower as well. They fit like skinny jeans! Anyways I ended up selling off most my levi’s and kept the 1 pair of 501’s that fit me best. Try to buy in store if possible

Haven't had a pair of STF's in years, so I decided it was time. Kinda wish I hadn't. I can get by that they didn't shrink the way they used to, I don't mind a little looseness sometimes, but the right leg twisted during the soak and hang dry. Tried a couple more hot soaks and high heat air drying but nothing. I will definitely look elsewhere for any raw denim I buy in the future.

These jeans are great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect wash for a laidback look, and the 501 fit never fails. They fit comfortably on the waist, have room through rise, and create a nice straight line through the thighs and below the knee without being too constricting or loose at any point. Note that since these are not stretch and do not have all that much give, if you have the size you like, try to wash these gently and don't tumble dry! #win501

Fit seems to vary by manufacture location

Victor99999

Apr 14, 2017

I've been wearing only 501 jeans for years. I can consistently order the same size, and they will fit. However, certain features like pocket size and pocket location are inconsistent. I have one pair made in Egypt, for example, that has deeper, bigger back pockets. The result is that it's uncomfortable to sit when I have a wallet in my back pocket, where my pairs made elsewhere are comfortable. The result is that when I wear the Egyptian pants, I generally remove my wallet. I have purchase both in store and online.

THE Most Authentic Blue Jeans

Adam B.

Apr 16, 2019

I once gave a middling-to-bad review of these jeans, but after a couple years of wear, I've changed my mind. They are the best bang for your buck in the denim market, and I have since bought several additional pairs. In my earlier negative review, I mentioned the smaller hem and single-stitched inseam as negative factors. I've since learned that these features match earlier production methods. I do prefer the larger hem and double stiched inseam since the jeans I grew up wearing as a kid in the 90's had these features, but it's by no means a deal breaker. These are just real solid jeans. I've worn them hard, and they've broken in and faded very well. My only criticism is that the fit seems to vary based upon country of manufacture. I prefer the made in Mexico variety, which based upon my small sampling tend to be wider in the leg and slightly more generous in cut over all. The two pairs of Egyptian Levi's 501 STF jeans are a bit slimmer. I have read other reviews elsewhere stating the same as to fit. I suppose this could be a plus or a minus depending on how you consider it, though to me, standardization of fit would be nice. Despite the bit of criticism above, 95% of the time when I put on a pair of jeans it will be one of my pairs of Levi's shrink to fit 501s.

not the same 501's

Michael1993

Feb 22, 2013

I've _never_ worn anything but 501's since I was big enough to find them in my size as a child, so 30 something years now. I've worn the same size for the past 15 years (30w34l). These don't fit like any of my previous pairs, the back pockets are sewn on lower (verified by comparing with another pair), and there are a different number of buttons (3 vs 4) on the fly. I will be returning them, and I guess I'll be looking for a new brand of jeans after a literal lifetime of wearing Levi's. Frankly, I'm not quite sure where to start.

Quality Assurance and Control needed

DisappointedinDC

Jun 3, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every single pair of Levis is different in material quality, product dimensions (within the same product line) and even construction techniques. I've purchased several 501s only to be surprised by how they fit, and disappointed in the quality of the material and construction. This is the case with the 501 which is why I would not recommend getting a pair to anyone unless they just don't care about fit or quality, or unless they are going to purchase in a store and are willing to pay for the more expensive variation (selvedge special editions).

These jeans give new meaning to the word "iconic." From James Dean to Jimi Hendrix, and from Kurt Cobain to Ed Sheeran, these jeans bridge generations of iconic figures and transcend all man (and woman) kind, for a perfect fit that leaves a lasting impression.

This is my second pair. These are very comfortable. As they state, don't wash them too often. They will deteriorate sooner than later, but now that I will follow directions, they should last. :)

I have been wearing 501's for more than 20 years. I always liked the way they fit and lasted. Now it seems the quality of the material has decreased and they do not seem to last as long. Also, the last few pairs have been too tight in the thigh. Wish they would go back to the true "original fit."

I've been wearing 501s for as long as I can remember. So for black Friday thought I would treat myself to some new jeans. Tried to order some online but they were having trouble taking it, or it was just me. Called costumer support and they went above and beyond to help me. This from someone who doesn't like anyone. Good job Levi Strauss & co. Happy customer.

Tim

Aug 6, 2009

I've been wearing 501's for YEARS and am starting to get disappointed with the product. For the past 2 or 3 years, I've noticed a dramatic reduction in quality of the denim. I get holes in the newer jeans a lot faster than I used to and they seem to fade a lot faster than before too. If you're not hard on equipment then you should be good to go. If you are hard on equipment, you may be disappointed.

What Happened?

C;are

Apr 14, 2019

Worn Levis 501 Button UP Fly, for over 35 years. Loved Levis 501 Low Rise Style for Women. Apparently Levis stopped making any Low Rise Womens Levis. So tried standard 501....Ugh...too much fabric/room in thighs/legs. Waist band sits on the waist-tight. Back side/rear too much fabric and baggy. Husband call them my " Clown Pants ".Will never purchase again.

Slightly Different than the traditional 501's

Carollucy303

Mar 13, 2018

My husband has always worn Levi's 501's in a 34 34 size. When he tried this pair on for the 1st time, he asked me if I ordered him skinny jeans! I told him no, they're 501's. The fit is a bit slimmer than any it her pairs he owns. I did read the reviews before ordering, & some said about the same things. They're not a relaxed for like they've always been. I'm not sure if they updated the fit, to make them slightly slimmer, or what the deal is, although they do fit him he doesn't like the slim style. He's always liked 501's because they fit well but with a relaxed fit. This is not longer the case. These aren't the same ol' 501's he grew up with & has worn for 50 years.

I bought these jeans to replace another pair I've been wearing since 2016. My new 501s have that beautiful, vintage Levi's blue hue and thick, soft denim that make them incredibly comfortable on the legs, hips and gluteals. Though Levis can vary in size, these fit perfectly and look great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned both this version (Rinse/Rigid) and the selvedge made in USA version and both are excellent. The higher rise makes this fit perfect for tucking in a shirt, but still looks I recommend going normal size in the waist and +2-4 inches in length depending on if you want to cuff. I soaked mine in the bathtub with warm water, then allowed to air dry until damp, then wore until completely dry. #win501

I remember buying these jeans when I was a bit younger and they have changed. The material sure isn't the quality that it used to be. The thickness of the material isn't the same. If you want these jeans just for fashion, they're fine. But if want them for working, forget it.

Inadequate size information

Daniel

Apr 6, 2020

I ordered my actual size expecting that the amount of shrinking would be taken into consideration. However, when I received the product I realized that I ought to have allowed an extra inch for the waist and 2 " for the inseam. It would be helpful to have those instructions pop up when ordering! It would save having to return and exchange the item.

Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!

TJRJR

Jan 21, 2013

What happened to the quality of these jeans? They fit like my old 501s, but the material and hardware are pure junk. For example, one of the rivets came off while I was trying the jeans on at home -- before washing them. The material has a weird chemical smell, even after washing them a few times. These are jeans I would expect to buy from a cheap knock-off brand sold at a discount store, not Levi's. I will not be buying these foreign made 501 Originals again. The odd thing, the quality of the STF 501s is fine. Its like they are a completely different jean, with just the same fit.

I love the color

I love these jeans! I followed the instructions on Levi's website for sizing, buying 2 sizes bigger. I shrunk them the old fashion way by soaking in a hot tube for a 1/2 hour then letting them dry on my body. These jeans fit perfectly all the way around. I wasn't sure if the quality was going to be the same as I remember in the 80's but they are! I am very pleased with my purchase. FYI: I am 5'2" 120lbs I bought 30x30. I hope this information will help other women to gage their size.

In my family we don't say get your jeans, we always say get your Levis. I'm looking forward to start purchasing selvedge jeans and my first pair is guaranteed to be a Levis. The fit is always spot on, fits great with my 1000 milers. I have over 5 pairs of 501s and plan to expand with selvedge 501s. Might even try out the 501ct. Keep doing what your doing.

As I am getting older, I am having to depart from my hipster pants loving ways. And he 501's have offered me that opportunity.

I've been wearing 501,s for over 30 years. They are a great pair of jeans. They look good and can take the punishment of work. I like my 501,s!

Quality is not what it used to be.

A lot of loose threads & after one wash the back pocket curls. Never have had that happen in 45 years of buying these. Made in Egypt the label says. Maybe different type of cotton? Last pair I bought made in Mexico, bottom of pant legs curl up on those as well. Just not made like they use to be, that’s for sure.

So comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these like 4 months ago, they still fit really well and they still look great, one problem with them for me is that I have really big thighs so they are kinda a snug fit on my thighs (same as all jeans for me). This is wonderful and the fit is great. #win501

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a fan of the 501 style for as long as I can remember. I was first attracted to the button fly being a new style at the time and was worried they would be fazed out over time but I'm glad they are still around. I own 24 pair and wear them everyday. Levis is by far the better brand of jean. They have stood the test of time year after yearand I will always be an avid fan of the 501's. The quality is superb and the fit is second to none.

Denim Bell bottoms, Big bell bottoms, boot cut, flares, cords in every color, but nothing with a tapered leg. My personal preference is a straight leg. Current pant of choice these days Original STF 501 Rigid for work or for play. Excellent workmanship, fantastic styling, nice straight legs, reasonably priced in today’s market. If I can get my wife to stop adding fabric softeners, I’d be a happy man!! Wouldn’t change a thing. Fit is alway right on. 44 x 36 and going down. Thanks for years of quality denim...#win501

I am very happy with these jeans. The sizing is good, although, the length is just a bit longer than the Levi's 541's that I usually wear,probably because that they cut differently. Overall, these are a great product!

From multiple countries

Hemant

May 24, 2016

I am a fan of 501's. So I placed for three more, including this one and two other colors. When I received the package, I noticed one jean was different from the two other. But none of them were similar to my previous one. Then I realized that they are from different countries (Mexico, Egypt and Poland). Being a supply chain professional, I understand the sourcing. However, I have a problem when the quality does not match up. The quality of cloth and stitching as well as finishing was the best for the one I had from Mexico, and then the quality degraded from Poland to Egypt. I am not going to return these but not thrilled about it. Levi's should do something about their quality discrepancy.

Great fit, not to loose or too tight

Bring Back the old quality of STF501

I purchased 5 pairs of S.T.F. 501's, noted the lighter weight material, and some stitching differences from past years. I have worn Levis since 1972, and noted that the S.T.F. do not last more than a year, in the 1970's they seemed to be a little more heavy weight and more durable.I know the cost of producing them in Mexico is cheaper than when they were made in San Francisco,but,it's starting to look like low bidder manufactures are the cause.Please bring back the quality from the past

Maine Bke Commuter

Jul 8, 2010

A few weeks ago I was looking for jeans made from a heavier fabric, more like the Levi's back in the 60's. I couldn't find them in any stores. Searched the web and found the shrink-to-fit Levi's here. I ordered the waist 2" big and the length 3" long (38x36 instead of my usual 36x33) as the site advised, with some skepticism but figuring I could always return them. I washed them once in lukewarm water and dried them on cool. Wow, they shrank right down to a near-perfect fit. (They might still be a half-inch too long but that's good for the first time. I sure won't dry them again.)

The jeans are great service not so much

The real thing

Buzzsaw

Jun 11, 2011

It is getting hard to find plain jeans for women. Even plain Levi jeans. I don't want thin denim. I don't want acid wash or splits or frays. I will wear and fray and wash it myself over time. And I know a pear of 501s will last for years and years. So getting the real deal through the mail seems to be the best way, and I am happy with the experience. My only request is that 501s be available in an inseam shorter than 30". There are some real short women out there, and I am one of them.

The quality never goes out of style.

The latest purchases, were exactly what I ordered, fit good and wash well.

They were the "go to" jeans for everyone in grade school and on through college, and they have remained the steady in my life the last 40 years. The unique pocket design, the red tab, the rivets and the button fly all make for a great looking and totally identifiable pair of jeans. These jeans are the epitome of a perfect fit; they wear to everyone's unique shape and the quality is worth every penny. It is no wonder the brand has lasted as long as it has. I love them on my guy and I will continue buying them for him...and for me!! #win501

Horrible sizing - not wearable

Dean

Jul 28, 2020

Website had zero information about how to correctly size these jeans. I bought the size I typically buy (been wearing Levi's for decades). When they arrived, they were huge which made sense because they're "shrink-to-fit." I followed the wash instructions, and they came out so small they're not wearable. Really disappointing that the website didn't make it clear that you need to order much, much bigger in order for these to fit. Waste of money.

These jeans fit great.

Runs little small as compared to directions of washing

dfk1980

Jul 25, 2015

501 is the best fitting jeans ever. The STFs are technical to handle. I washed mine multiple times as a live in a hot & humid climate and you have to get rid of the sweat on your denim. There is issue of spiderweb patterns and significant fagding of jeans but it gets better with every wash. After first wash the jeans shrunk a bit more than my expectations. It gained the resonable waist size after wearing one whole day but length was an issue. So, I manually stretched the jeans by literally trying to pull it apart from top to bottom and the result was permanent adjustment of jeans length. So I am a happy customer.

Drew421

Nov 23, 2017

Great jeans on first wear, after washing and drying them once they shrank too much to wear comfortably. I assumed I knew what size Levi's to get because I've had some 514 straight fits in the same 33X32 size and, even after many washes, they fit great. These are essentially unwearable now, though, and I'm not sure how I should've known to order a larger size.

My first online Levi purchase. I haven't been able to find Original 501's at brick and mortar stores, only in stretch jeans. I made the big mistake of buying 501 stretch jeans. Hate them. Thrilled I can order originals.

Bought these for my boyfriend as he only wears 501s. Quality and everything was great, however, once washed they didn't fit because they shrunk a WHOLE SIZE! Never had this happen with any 501s ever. Very disappointed. Guess that is what I get for trying to get a darker jean.

Gotten cheaper and more more expensive.

The denim levi is using now is thinner and lighter weight than just a couple of years ago. They also don't shrink the same, leaving me with an $80 pair of pants that don't fit.

Still the best

Just bought 3 new pair of 501 original fit jeans. I've been wearing these my entire life. I've tried other jeans but always came back to Levi's. The quality is still there, the fit is still there, and they still last for a long, long time. The best Jeans in the world.

501 Cut is not the same as it used to be

BobbyB

Apr 12, 2010

I am still wearing 501's that I purchased in 1992. I recently purchased 2 new pairs, and am dissapointed with the fit. The leg shape on my old 501's tapers to the ankle. The new 501's are straight from the thigh to the ankle, making for a sloppy, boot cut look. I recentaly bought a pair on 511 skinny jeans, and the leg shape is identical to my old 501's. Too bad the don't have the button fly.

Stinks. Actually stinks.

OldOldGuy

Apr 3, 2013

The pants came sealed in a clear plastic package. When I opened the package I was overwhelmed by the stench of tobacco smoke. The pants reeked of smoke. I had to immediately seal the pants in a plastic trash bag until they could be laundered. I could not try the pants on for fit until they were cleaned. After laundering, the smell was gone, but I was very dissatisfied with the fit of the pants. The crotch rise was so shallow that the top third of my butt stuck out when I sat down. These pants must have been cut for a teenage boy who wears them around his hips. I will not purchase this product again. The fit of these pants is nothing like the Levi's I have worn for years.

Amazing !

I was starting a new job and needed black pants. The places in town were out of my size because of high demand, so I thought why not order online! I knew that I wouldn't get them before my first day of work but I would wear an old pair until my order arrived. Well to my surprise, I recieved my jeans the day after I placed the order! I was really impressed!!! Levi's saved the day. I'll definately order all my jeans from Levi's.com.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I should be The King of Levis. I have over 100 pairs of most styles Levi has to offer. When I was in Bangkok Thailand, I reached into my bag to pay the taxi driver. The driver noticed in my bag the buttons on my Levi's Trucker Jacket. He went crazy over the Levi's jacket. I was wearing Levi's 501's at the time. I never felt so proud of being an Anerican and, my Levi's 501's I will never own any other brand. Levi's 501's fit me perfectly and, I do like my shirttail in showing off The Levi's patch on right side hip. I'm proud of my Levi's 501's The Thais just love them and, so do I!!!!

Hello Levis, The jeans I order are great, but I didn't realize they were button fly jeans. Maybe it's my fault for not reading more of the description. I would recommend that your let people know with bigger text that the 501's are button fly jeans only. Thanks,

Jul 17, 2018

I didn’t look at the picture close enough to see that these jeans have tears and worn spots on them. Would be great if I was 25, not so great because I’m 55 and look like a bum in them. I’ll wear them around th house and they fit great but the worn look doesn’t work for me anymore. I rechecked the description and it doesn’t say a word about that, by pinching the pic I see a slight wear spot on the left knee so I guess I should have used a magnifying glass to see what I was buying.

Great jeans. I had never tried shrink-to-fit, but it creates such a custom fit, the jeans look tailored. Couple that with levi’s quality and timeless style, and you’ve got a real winner. If you’re a guy (or of any gender) and you don’t own a pair of 501s, you’re missing out on a style opportunity that is unmatched.

So I’m short and truthfully I can still fit into the older boys sizes, but none of them have a button fly. For whatever reason, after college, I no longer wear the same size. I don’t know if it’s because I originally only wore shrink-to-fit and now I can’t seem to get the same size length but these are slightly too long, but the 1” difference is not worth the extra $20.

Consider Option

forgetaboutthenickname

Feb 26, 2017

Recently got myself new light stonewash 501 Original Fit Jeans. They are heavyweight 100% cotton denim and fit me true to size. However I noticed Levi's has come up with "Central Park" in the 501 Original Fit Jean and I think it is a direct more modern, more stylish, youth oriented version of the light stonewash so consider your options. It is 100% cotton but I've had no first hand contact with the denim in that jean to tell you if I thought it was light, medium or heavy weight denim or not or how it fits. You're on your own.

Levi's are getting worse year by year

G2013

Jul 10, 2013

I have worn nothing but black Levi's 501 for many, many years and I can say that each time I purchase a new pair, the quality gets worse each time. The denim/fabric is thinner and 'softer' than it used to be. The 'weave' of the fabric seems to be thicker and looser, if that makes sense, and the black dye fades much quicker than it used to. The only reason that I gave these a passing rating is because these jeans are still better than most brands, which says something about the quality of most products available these days. Cheap materials and cheap labor results in cheap products, period. Levi: Why can't you make jeans that are comparable to those you used to make? I'm not even talking about vintage jeans from the 40's thru the 70's...even the ones from the 80's and 90's were a hundred times better than what you are making now. If these get any worse, I'll probably stop buying Levi's altogether.

I love these jeans!

Size Confusion

Shane Baker

Apr 3, 2024

I read about these online and saw that you should size up with these so they will shrink to your actual size. I ordered a pair that were 1 size too big in the waist and 2 sizes longer inseam. I thought that might be too big so I ordered a second pair smaller since they were on sale. I shrunk the first larger pair in the bath and it wasn’t a significant shrinkage but I can at least wear them casually. They are a bit too big still. The second pair is more so what I’m concerned about. I ordered a 32/30 but when I measured the waist it was a 34. The tag said 32 but they were already sized up, I guess? I was confused. I put them into the washing machine on high and dried them on high and they shrunk quite a bit but still not perfect. Without trying them on before purchasing, I unfortunately feel like the sizing is confusing and maybe should be more consistent if sizing up is part of the instructions.

the on-line process was very easy. What has become frustrating is replacing my existing Levis. Pants are far from being worn out (an extremely nice feature with Levis), but I've replaced 3 pairs within the past couple of months (the others via Macys) because they have developed very symmetrical holes around the fly area and around the calf area. Not an issue I've experienced in the past with Levis so I thought I'd share.

These jeans have deteriorated in quality to the point that they should not even retain the Levis 501 name. All this has changed in the last year or so...the material is much thinner and cheaper, the fit is not the same, the leg openings are noticeably smaller, and the bottom cuff is a joke. Very disappointing. If you are buying these expecting them to be what they always were, you will be in for a rude surprise.

The 501 Original is my husband's go-to jean and has been for over 10 years. He refuses to wear anything else and particularly loves how they fit after they are worn a few times. As a regular fit straight jean its really perfect for most occasions. My husband loves the fit and feel of this jeans and appreciates the durability. He has 501's from more than 10 years ago and they still look great. Its a classic look that pairs great with tees or button down shirts. My son wears his with a hoodie and a trucker and its a great put-together look that stands the test of time. These are also great if you're looking for a jean to customize and make your own.

Nice jeans but a little tight around the calves.

JeansLover121

May 3, 2020

I like these jeans perfect for the summer and other special occasions, however the only issue I have is the leg area particularly around the calves they are a little tight in the calve area,(I have muscular calves.) another issue that I have nothing major is that are not enough white denim wash within different fits the regular and relaxed fit do come to mind, these are always on the Skinny or Slim fit jeans, if anyone from levis is reading this I urge you to please make white denim wash for the regular, and relaxed fit jeans as well as improve on the fit of the original denim fit around the calve areas, other than I still like these pair of jeans.

Wonderful pair of classic blue jeans.

Dec 1, 2020

I bought these pair of jeans since I thought quarantine would be the perfect time to break in a new pair of raw denim. I've worn them every single day since I got them in Early October, and I have not been disappointed. I've worked on my Vespa, I've worked on my projects guitars, I've gone skating and I've even done workouts on these jeans and they haven't sogged out, ripped or greatly deteriorated in any way. I've washed them once about a month after I got them, and they shrunk ALMOST perfectly except for being just a hair bit short in the legs for my liking. I'm 6'1, and 190 pounds wearing a 34x30 and wearing them at my lower waist rather than my true waist. They don't ride up when sitting, and they don't squeeze me weirdly either. I can see a long life ahead of me with these jeans, and I'm proud to have a piece of American history with these 501s. Skating, Riding, or Working, these are definitely the jeans for you.
