A combination of sale price and points voucher proved too much of a temptation to try a pair these shrink to fit selvedge jeans. I was not disappointed. Reviews suggested the jeans would shrink when washed so I also ordered a larger size. The smaller size fitted well at the waist but were slightly longer in leg length which would have required having a deeper cuff. The jeans are well constructed but the material was very stiff and fastening and opening the buttons was difficult. Because the jeans were roomy I decided to risk a low temperature wash and the result was perfect. The fit remains roomy and the only shrinkage was in the length with the hem now sitting on neatly on the top of my shoes, but still allowing a narrow cuff. The material has softened slightly and the buttons are more easily managed. The closer weave of the material make these a sturdier pair of jeans and I hope with careful laundering will give me many years of wear. I am very satisfied with the purchase. As for the other pair, I returned them to a store and received excellent service. The refund was in my account within a couple of days. Another example of the good customer service I have found when dealing directly with Levi's.

Heavy/solid material with great quality and design

The fit is so clean. That wash is absolutely beautiful. Such a timeless pair of jeans.

Quality fabric and fit, selvedge is thicker and more durable than standard jeans

Wow, these 501 selvedge jeans looked great online but they are even better in person! The denim is easy to wear from the packet, it doesn't need breaking in...the selvedge line just adds that bit of luxury too...thank you Levis, these are my new "go-to" jeans for winter! 😊
