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.

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.

Solid pair of jeans

4 months ago
They do the job well and get more comfortable the more you wear them. They can be a little stiff, but they get easier the more I wear. They’re easy to throw on with anything and hold up really well. Would like a shorter lengths though. A little long for me

Le classique indémodable par excellence

4 months ago
Le Levi’s 501, c’est tout simplement l’essence du jean parfait : une coupe droite qui traverse les décennies sans jamais perdre de son allure, une toile robuste pensée pour durer, et ce style authentique qui fait qu’on le reconnaît immédiatement. Indémodable, polyvalent et toujours flatteur, il s’adapte à toutes les silhouettes et à toutes les époques. On comprend pourquoi il est devenu une légende : c’est le jean qui a défini tous les autres. Un investissement sûr, intemporel, et un indispensable de toute garde-robe.

501 Men's Jeans, for This Girl, is the Ticket!

4 months ago
I had to go back to my high school days, where I had to wear men's 501 jeans for the length. Don't get me wrong, I loved those days and am thrilled to be wearing them again. I even think they conform to my shape better than the 501s that are made for women. The only thing I will beg Levi's for is please, please , PLEASE make W28 L32 or even L34. That would be a perfect fit for me. Right now, I think the smallest I can find are W29 L32 and they relax a little even in non-stretch which is what I prefer. But ladies, give them a try because they are much more flattering in the men's cut.
Q: What size do you usually wear?
A: Women's 26, men's 28 or 29

Levi-tating to new heights in my first 501s

4 months ago
I finally did it. I have transitioned into an adult male and bought the Levi’s 501s. I am now metamorphosed from “person wearing pants” to having a “style moment”. First off let’s talk about the button fly. It’s a workout and a high stakes race against my bladder but feeling like a gold miner, who has struck it rich and I have never felt more rugged than I do now sitting in a Starbucks. The fit is where the magic happens. After a few hours they molded to my posterior, which I would say the feeling was like watching the notebook again for the first time. They have made my backside look like it belongs in a high budget commercial, and give me that “I totally own a vintage motorcycle” energy. (I don’t, I drive a 2009 rust bucket, but the pants don’t know any better. If you see me standing a little taller today, that’s because I am wearing the best pants ever made. 10 out of 10. Would struggle with the buttons again.
