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 with the iconic button fly
  • A blank canvas for customization and self-expression
  • 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.
  • 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.

I've been wearing Levi 501s since my late teens (I'm 65 now). I never need to try them on because I know my sizes and I know their sizes are consistent in size and quality. I wouldn't consider a different brand or design.

Do these jeans make my derriere look big?

2 months ago
Good price on a classic item. They make them in Egypt now. I just took 5 worn out pairs to Goodwill. 1 was made in USA, 1 was Guatemala, and 3 were Mexico. I'm guessing the USA ones were 30 plus years old. Hopefully, the Egyptian version lasts as long-as I plan to be wearing shrink to fits when I'm 95.

Yes, I recommend this product.

The Purr-fect 501s

3 months ago
I purchased the product in color Along the Coast with low stretch and it fits like a charm in size 36 though I have the new 501s in Selvedge and non Selvedge without stretch in both sizes 36 and 34. I guess it is up to each individual styles or countries where they be stitched in that makes the differences and it takes many a pairs of 501 to find that right one and dare I say I just might have found my perfect pair in low stretch and light faded stonewashed denim remindin me of the glorious heyday of the 80s. Thank you for continuing to recreate the original. Truly appreciate all the designers helping make this happen. I got meowed at by a cat near my house which made me choose the title for this review. Thank you Levi's Team.

Night Hawks 501s – Classic Levi’s Done Right

4 months ago
I picked up the Levi’s 501 Original Jeans in the Night Hawks wash, and these are everything you want from a true pair of Levi’s. The 501 fit is legendary for a reason. Straight leg, button fly, and that perfect balance between structured and comfortable—it just works. They’ve got that authentic, no-nonsense feel that newer fits try to copy but never quite match. The Night Hawks wash is what really sets these apart. It’s a clean, darker tone that can easily be dressed up or worn casually. You can throw these on with a tee or a button-down and they hold their own either way. The denim feels solid and well-made, like it’s built to last and only get better with time. After a few wears, they start molding to you in that way only a good pair of 501s can. These are the kind of jeans that never go out of style. If you’re looking for a dependable, classic pair with a sharp wash, the Night Hawks 501s are an easy choice.

Yes, I recommend this product.
