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.

The jeans I coveted from when I first saw Kix Thompson wearing them on the sleeve of “One Step Beyond”. Everything else is just an imitation

LEVIS FOR LIFE!

10 months ago
Ordered my first pair of Selvedge 501's about one year ago. They are great! nice and soft and fit like a glove, classic 501 style. My only gripe, which is very small, is that i don't really like the factory made fading spots. Those areas seem slightly thinner and feel slightly different from the rest of the jean. So, next time I'll probably get a solid dark wash and watch them fade naturally. Beyond that I love seeing that edge and knowing I have a premium pair of iconic Levi's 501's. #levisforlife

Perfect pair of jeans

11 months ago
This is one of the most comfortable jeans my husband ever tried. The fabric is comfortable for a long wear. The fit, design, sizing and style are simply perfect. Even the shade and wash of the color I selected, Bounty Wash is very classy. Definitely recommend.

Shrink-to-fit!

11 months ago
The "Hudson" Selvedge 501s are indeed shrink-to-fit/STF/rigid/raw/unsanforized. That makes these the best way to get raw selvedge jeans without having to pay for LVC. Sizing is a bit tricky. I ordered a pair of 32x34, and the waist measures 17 inches across (or 34 inches around). After soak/wash, these will shrink to 32 inches around. The waist measures bigger than for a non-premium pair of STFs. The pre-wash waist measurement for a pair of 33x32's was 17 inches across. In other words, for a similar fit to a pair of STFs, get one size smaller than what you'd get in standard STFs.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I've been looking for a pair of 501 selvedge for years. Finally today I found a pair of bounty hunter wash on the clearance rack in my size. Wore them today, and I can already tell these will be my favorite jeans out of all my levis! Only thing left is try made in japan lol

This is what jeans are supposed to feel like

a year ago
There's a lot of jeans options out there but some just don't feel like what a good pair of jeans should feel like. For years I wore a different brand and never gave it much thought. Recently I switch to Levi's Premium jeans and it actually makes me look forward to days I wear these jeans. I'm not sure if it's because they're selvedge or if it has to do with them being Premium but the fabric feels comfortable and durable. However, I do wish Levi's would give more details on how their selvedge and Premium products are better.

Flotte jeans i god kvalitet. Men krymper ca 10 %

6 months ago
Rigtig god kvalitet. Men krymper virkelig meget. Mindst én hel størrelse. Så jeg vil anbefale du tager din almindelig størrelse. Ud fra "posen" vil de føles meget for store. Men efter første almindelige vask skal de nok passe.

Hudson Dark Wash actually rigid

8 months ago
Hudson dark wash is actually rigid, so that was a surprise. I sized up, because I wanted baggies with a cuffed hem, but I'm not sure how it will shake out after a soak. I was expecting a true-to-size one wash Jean, but these are not. Quality is spot on, though. Not an errant stitch. The big E red tab is a nice bonus. Chain stitched bottom hem and redline selvedge makes them feel like vintage Levi's.

Gutes Material, schlechte Passform

10 months ago
Wie zu erwarten, ist die 501 aus solidem Material gefertigt, das etwas robuster und angenehm zu tragen ist. An den Beinen ist die Passform bequem, aber am Bund deutlich zu eng. Bei 511 und 512 hatte ich immer eine 33/32 (1,83m / 85kg / sportliche Figur). Wie kann es sein, dass die eigentlich weitere Passform dann nicht mehr passt?!

No, I do not recommend this product.

So fed up with all these order cancellations

4 days ago
I'm so fed up with Levi's cancelling my order unexpectedly. Sometimes they just send the item in a completely different color. Is it really a mistake or are they just hoping I won't notice? It's happened multiple times now. It's frustrating and such an inconvenience. I will be shopping elsewhere from now on.
