best jeans ever

a month 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.

Blown away !

5 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.

The blueprint for denim for a reason.

6 months ago
Where do I start? Sure, they’re not the heaviest jeans you’ll own. They’re not from a renowned Japanese brand. That is okay, because these are the blueprint. The fit is unlike any other pair of MIJ denim I’ve ever purchased, the color isn’t quite raw, but it’s a beautiful dark indigo. The contrast stitching, the leather patch, the button fly. There are so many small details about these Jeans that just set it apart. They’re so versatile as well. I intentionally got a few extra inches longer on the inseam, for extra stacking and cuffing options.

80s 501 Jeans

6 months ago
I’ve usually only worn designer jeans but I’m honestly blown away by these. The weight and texture of the Japanese selvedge give them such a premium feel, and the cut is just spot on. They fit perfectly and feel better every time I put them on. Definitely a top tier addition to my wardrobe.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Timeless Japanese Selvedge Mij Stream-Blue

7 months ago
Exceptional quality, the Japanese selvedge denim is outstanding, superb colour, textured, and built to last forever. Timeless 501 cut looks perfect. I’m 6’0” (184 cm) and 212 lbs (96 kg). Bought size 36/32, not too tight at all, surprisingly comfortable and roomy. Size guide suggested 42 for me, so these run quite big. Best tip: prioritise seat measurements over waist for this pair. Highly recommend!

Clarify Fabric weight

a year ago
Great jeans hope you guys in Levi write fabric weight shuttle loom produce around 15 oz after one wash, but it is adjustable so it is better to write so the buyer knows before buying, It's better also to help customers in sizing, as Japanese denim shrinks 2 inches in length from my experience
