Nice

Great cut and beautifully soft denim! Would buy a second darker pair if they were still available! A real no-brainer option for Japanese selvedge denim.

best jeans ever

2 months 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

2 months 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.

Hose „aus“ 1980 mit holpriger Lieferung

6 months ago
Tolle Hose und ich würde auch sagen, sie hat einen anderen Schnitt. Ich glaube der obere Teil (Schaft) geht höher. Aber ich bin kein Profi und habe keine Lust normal gegen 1980 zu vergleichen. Ich habe eh nur aufgrund der Jahreszahl gekauft! Ohne den persönlichen Bezug zur 1980 wäre mir der Aufpreis für den vielleicht anderen Stoff das Geld nicht Wert. Aber ich bin weder Profi noch tief in der Mode verwurzelt. Was aber den Eindruck getrübt hat war eine erste Falschlieferung. Mir wurde ein falsche Größe gesendet! Der Umtausch erfolgte einigermaßen schnell, insgesamt aber zu meinem Schaden. Mein Geld war sofort eingezogen die Ware musste jedoch erst noch ausgetauscht werden und ich hatte unnötige Wege und zeitliche Aufwendungen und damit unbezahlte Arbeit. Ein Rabatt durch Levi’s , der Fehler ist durch sie entstanden, wurde NICHT angeboten. Ach noch ein Punkt, die Hose fällt nur gering größer aus.

Blown away !

6 months ago
This jean is spot on! It’s a stunning repro of the kind of Levi’s I used back in the 80s, but with better finishing and materials. Really blown away by those. These jeans pack everything nice from that era (high rise, perfect thigh space, straight leg but not baggy). Not a deal breaker but if the wash was more like a real vintage wash (they do it in "cheaper” selvedge lines) these jeans would be a dream come true. Anyway, they’re almost the real thing we use to love in our teenage years and without the hassle of buying vintage pairs… My favorite pair so far.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect for dress down Fridays and weekend

6 months ago
These jeans are extremely comfortable with a soft denim and good fit. Most importantly, they are not 'shrink to fit' which is too variable to size. The color is just right for informal workdays with a turned-up cuff. They are true to size. I just wish that a shorter length was offered.
