Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501® Originals, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of modern jeans in existence—burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) introduced them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will.

Ripped within 6 months
I've had these less than 6 months and there's a hole in them. No crazy activity. No falls. Just normal wear like my other pants. Quality is pathetic for "premium".

Beautiful denim.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice denim. Washed in hot water and dried hot. Two inches of shrink in length. One inch in waist.

Pleased, finally
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometime in the last few years, jeans makers conspired to tamper with classic fit, most commonly by adding inches to the rise (crotch), Levi’s included. I hadn’t bought shrink-to-fit in years but decided to give them a go, and I’m so pleased to have the only jeans fit I’ve ever liked.

Zero consistency of sizing.
How hard is it to provide consistent sizing? Three pairs of the same pants purchased - all for totally different.

Old School is Best
Love the old school jeans. So comfortable and they get even moreso with every wear. The shrink to fit jeans are my favorite.

Caution with sizing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pants themselves are incredible. Sizing them can be kind of hard. I’m normally a 32 waist so I got rigid and modern black in a 34 with the intention to shrink them a bit. I washed them separately but in the same washer both washed on warm and air dried. The modern black fit perfect but the rigid ended up being a little too small in the waist. So same size, same shrinking method, different colors, different results. And they will not stretch back out. So just be careful when ordering and make sure they are nice and loose on your waist before shrinking. If not, exchange for a bigger pair

Original 501
I have been wearing 501 jeans for 50 years. They are as good now as they were when I first started wearing them. They last me for years before I have to replace them. They are timeless and never go out of style.

Original 501 Jeans always survive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Levi's Original 501 jeans have served me well. The fit (34 x 34) and quality have remained consistent for over 50 years of purchases. When work (Farrier-horse shoeing) indicated a need for a fresh pair, the older, worn pair still functioned great as casual jeans. Plus they were comfortable during their entire life cycle.

Best fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just what I was looking for. It's an art but worth the effort. I sized up 1 in the waist and 3 on the length. Best fit. Don't need the stretchy. This is just right.

Custom fit design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally real jeans. Ok so they require a different level of care and breaking in that probably no one cares to do in current times. But they become comfortable custom fit after little effort - wash alone , wear wet to conform to your body a few times

Shrink to fit Levi's are my go to for 60 years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new ones are dark and therefore are my dress Levi's. The faded ones are my daily go to.
