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.

These Levi 501's are exactly as I remember! Fit is true to size. They have a finished bottom and are a soft cotton. I'll be buying more!

Perfect fit!

2 years ago
I wear a 22W and they fit perfectly. Love them! It was nice that I got them on sale too!!

2 years ago
Love these jeans! They are super comfortable and flattering. That being said, the statement in the item description “Zipper with button closure at center front” is inaccurate. The jeans have an all-button closure. (I love the jeans so much that I am willing to accept the inconvenience of buttons rather than a zipper.)

No, I do not recommend this product.

Like jeans from the good old days!

2 years ago
Women's jeans that are 100% cotton denim and not that stretchy quasi-denim have been hard to come by for about 15 years. I'm glad that Levi's took a look back to the past and started making jeans like this again. I was never a huge Levi's fan when I was young. There was something about the way they were cut that didn't make them a good fit or style for me. But these days Levi's are the ONLY jeans I will buy as long as they keep making these retro 90s high-waisted, slightly baggy jeans. It's nice to have a choice that isn't slim cut, stretchy denim that rides below the waist. Most women over the age of 35 aren't interested in skin tight low riders.

Back in the saddle

WHEW! Back in the saddle again. These jeans are just what I was looking for. It is so difficult to find 100% cotton denium jeans with no extras. Button fly brings back jeans memories from 40+ years ago.

Yes, I recommend this product.

501 High-Rise Straight Leg Jeans

2 months ago
I love the jeans, sizes run a little big quality is good. Because I can't find my size in store I have to order on-line and return if not right, a little frustrating but I like the product. The darker color comes as stretch which is not disclosed in product information prior to purchase, for me, that wasn't a problem, but some may take issue with that product over sight.

A solid staple

I've worn these jeans a few times now and I am very happy with them! They soften over time & perhaps have lost some shape in the back, but I would still consider them one of my more rigid denim.

Yes, I recommend this product.

No zipper

FYI....there is no zipper, it is a button fly. Fit is good, but they have no stretch.

Waist is so small!

4 months ago
Some other Levi’s I got in another style were a little too big so I thought these should fit perfectly if I ordered the same size. Unfortunately, I was incorrect. These ran at least 3 sizes smaller in the waist than the other styles. Disappointed because I know if I order a bigger waist size the rest of the jean won’t fit. Just wanted to warn others!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Runs large, not for tall girlies

a year ago
The denim is heavy and a great colour, but it has a lot of stretch and really bagged out. This might not be an issue, but they also run really big. I bought a 22. My normal size is a 24, and I should have gotten a 20. I still wear them, but they are very casual because they're baggy. The inseam is also pretty short (29 inches), so I have yet another pair of jaunty ankle jeans.

plus size range 501s aren’t cut like reg. 501s

a year ago
Unfortunately for me the size 14 was HUGE. I understand how they’re supposed to fit (501s) and these were just like huge loose fit men’s jeans. They aren’t cut like the regular size range 501s at all. It’s like when the pattern for this Jean was scaled up, it just lost any shape/style. They are literally falling off my body, the legs are comically wide. I did follow the size chart. I typically wear a14-16 or sometimes a 32-33 in Levi’s jeans. In other words, I’m just into the plus size range and can usually wear both, depending . Would not recommend.
Q: What size do you usually wear?
A: 12-14 or 32-33
Q: Size Purchased
A: 14 plus

No, I do not recommend this product.

Cuffs fraying after one wearing

2 years ago
The jeans fit well and look great, but the cuffs literally started fraying the first time I wore them. I'm really disappointed. If I am going to pay $100 for jeans, I expect they should be able to withstand rubbing on footwear for longer than a couple hours before they start to disintegrate.

Not what I expected

4 months ago
First, the wash is a lot lighter than expected and not my kind of wash. Second, they are bedazzled at the bottom of the legs. It is extremely difficult to see that in the pictures on the website and wasn't mentioned in the description. I didn't even try them on. Returning these for sure.

No, I do not recommend this product.

sparkly stuff on the legs

5 months ago
my own fault, I was looking at the medium colored jeans and they were exactly what I wanted, when I went back to purchase I noticed there was a slightly darker color and I selected that instead because I like the color better, but failed to notice that the slightly darker colored jeans have these ugly sparkly rhinestone looking things glued to the legs. I didn't see them till I actually received the jeans. they did fit well, the material was great, color was great but there's no way I'm going to wear a pair of Levi jeans with sparkly doodads all over the legs. I returned them

No, I do not recommend this product.

Warehouse sent the wrong size

I didn't get what i ordered (got 29" waist instead of plus size 16) so had to return to the Levi's store. Returns were difficult as order was not recognized because it was Canadian.

Button fly !

Didn’t realize they were button fly, extremely difficult to close the buttons, and I can’t return as they were clearance. Stuck with them

Not 100% cotton

a year ago
The description says these jeans are 100% cotton (which would mean no stretch, which is what I prefer and why I purchased them), but upon receiving them they clearly have stretch. The label inside the pants says 99% cotton and 1% cotton. I suppose that’s fine for some but I specifically bought these because the website says 100% cotton. Just want to warn anyone who is thinking about purchasing for the same reason.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Disappointed

I had high hopes for these jeans, I would love to have a pair of jean made of cotton denim and they were the real deal. All was good tried on they fit perfect, size was correct, then no zipper. They have snaps instead of zipper. Needless to say, they went back.
