About this Style

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.


  • The original blue jeans
  • Our signature straight fit
  • A blank canvas for customization and self-expression
  • Made with non-stretch denim
  • These jeans are Shrink-to-Fit™, meaning you control the shrinkage yourself, which allows the denim to conform to your unique body. The payoff is a pair of jeans with a custom-made fit. No tailor necessary.
  • Hold the H2O: This garment was made using recycled water, which helps us to reduce our impact on this finite resource
  • To find the right size for Shrink-to-Fit™ jeans, there are three options. 1) For the old-school technique, buy true to size in the waist and two sizes up in length. Wear them in the tub and keep them on to dry. 2) For those who want to machine wash and dry the jeans, we recommend ordering up: For your waist, increase 1" for sizes 27"-36", 2" for 38"-48", and 3" for 50" and up. And for your inseam, increase 3" for sizes 27"-34" and 4" for 36" and up. 3) For purists who like their denim unwashed, no need to size up. Buy them true to size.

Perfect selvedge

a month ago
Perfect selvedge—a personal favorite of mine. The rivets are turquoise, adorably visible, with the whole look of ripped jeans. The torn places are well done, of course, and I love looking at the patches fabric also. A really great pair of jeans which I wear daily just to feel good!

Eine Liebhaber-501-Jeans aus edlem Selvedge-Denim. Verarbeitung und Passform sind erstklassig. Hervorzuheben ist auch der sehr ansprechende Destroyed-Look. Eine Jeans für jeden ( rustikalen) Auftritt.

great jeans

got exactly what i ordered and am very happy with my purchase, the fact that someone got a jean jacket instead or someone has a sizing issue only says how sometimes mistakes are made but that is true of any big company and really doesnt help someone who is looking for a good pair of jeans.

Fun Distressed Look You Can Redesign!

7 months ago
Love these ripped/patched jeans but didn't care for skin showing so I used the Levi's sewing service behind the counter with Jea at Bellevue, WA store to create more color over 4-pairs I bought. She even hemmed them to 32" since sold out. These jeans are slightly snug and I'd say they're TRUE TO SIZE so I don't know who says they run "very small?" Trust me as I have the older version of the Ferry Building blue Levi's that ran small and I'm exchanging them for resale at my appointment today at the store via secondhand.levi.com I just ordered more of these to have others designed. See my photos and you too will be inspired to use Levi's sewing services at select locations.

Getting it in, in my original fit 501 selvedege

7 months ago
I am a 58 yo, old school denim dude, and I have been wearing Levi’s since the 70’s. Levi’s premium, will always be a go to, when it comes to high quality denim, for me. As for the 501 original selvedge, the fit, style, quality and craftsmanship is upper tier. I only wish they were made in the USA.

What a lovely pair of distressed jeans. I bought these for my son to go with gorgeous black distressed jumper I bought him for his birthday. The cut and the fit will suit him perfectly - he'll love them.

501s are the best

9 months ago
My man loves his new dark wash 501s. They fit true to size and were a bit stiff but with a wash they softened up significantly. He still needs to get the hemmed but he’s excited to dress them up or down. These are hands down the best made, most durable jeans. The are classics for a reason.
