best jeans ever

21 days ago
Absolutely worth it. I ordered last W31xL32. I am so lucky :) Before ordering, I tried on the regular 501 Original Fit in-store and ended up buying the Blue Tab 1980s 501 in the exact same size. The fit is absolutely perfect. The silhouette is beautiful and gorgeous and the fabric quality immediately stands out. It feels premium, comfortable, and keeps making me want to wear them. Out of every pair of jeans I’ve owned, these are by far my favorite. I almost didn’t buy them because I read that this fit doesn’t suit most Asian body types. However, if you’re on the taller side, the cut creates a longer-leg look and fits incredibly well. It definitely does for me. The denim has enough substance to feel premium, but it isn’t so heavy that it’s uncomfortable in the summer. It’s the perfect balance between durability and comfort. To me, this is the line that truly represents what a classic pair of Levis jeans should be.

Premium jeans

a month ago
I noticed on the site at the time of buying it showed that customers stated these ran big (I normally wear a 32/33 and purchased 33 which fit perfect without a belt). I would say these are true to size if they do run big it might be by a very small amount. Downside is I normally wear a 30 length but shortest they have is 32 so they are too long for my liking (I’m 5’ 11”) and I need to get them tailored to shorten them. The quality of them though is very nice, they are a heavier denim and the stitchings are all great. Pocket openings do feel a bit “tight” but you can still easily fit your phone or wallet in, not a fan of the button fly though. Overall they are some solid jeans if you’re looking for something more “unique/premium”.

Classic fit with great vintage feel

Really pleased with these 1980s 501® Jeans. The denim feels sturdy and high quality, with that authentic vintage Levi’s look and fit. They sit comfortably and work well with both trainers and boots — definitely a timeless pair that I can see lasting for years.

Nice jeans

3 months ago
Nice light to midweight comfortable denim. Feels like they were broken in for years the first time you wear them. Cool for a laidback and comfortable style. The finish is excellent with great attention to detail in the stitching and hardware.
