I'm a lady, but love the fit of men's 501s. I have 4 women's pairs and this my 2nd men's pair. I've only bought selvedge in men's. I bought women's 31x32 in the stretch black sprout and these in 33x34. I fell in love with the dark blue/black instead of red and black instead of brown tag. The cuff is also beautiful. So I researched for HOURS on how best to shrink to fit. They were 1 to 2" too long and had a teeny waist gap. I soaked in cold water for 1.25 hrs. Did the Levi towel sandwich and am currently wearing them to dry. They are perfect and I'm so pleased I took a chance.

J'apprécie tout de ce modèle; Néanmoins j'ai quand-même mis 2 ans pour acheter la bonne taille. S'il y a dans une autre couleur et de même qualité je me lancerai dans un nouvel achat !

These are great selvedge black jeans. Shrink to fit! If you’re a 32x32 size up to 34x34. I like to soak 3-5 hours in 2 cups of vinegar in cold water so soften them up. Do not dry on medium. Tumble dry low for 20 mins then warm iron. Don’t wash for 50+ wears after that. Enjoy!

High quality, thick fabric that definitely is unique.

Very durable high quality materials used in the jeans

These are amazing heavyweight jeans and have a highrise and are pretty roomy in the seat. I also echo the cautions other buyers have shared. I bought true to size and after a couple wears they were a tad too loose. I gave them a soak and they shrunk similar to levi's shrink-to-fit denim. Since I thought they were sanfornized, I used luke warm water (big mistake). The most dramatic part of the shrinking came from the length. It shrunk about 2", the waist 1", and the beautiful highwaist turned into a regular "at the waist". Had I known, I would have used very cold water and I think I would have been ok. I really wish these had more stock so I could buy the right size, they are honestly perfect and should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe. Basically, the perfect pair of black jeans, I just wish the description on the website and tags made all this more obvious. Despite the lack of instructions, the product itself is a 5 star. My opinion for sizing - If you will never soak/wash, buy a half size down and true length (I wish I would have done this). If you are going to soak, buy a half size up and extra 2" on the length. If you will be soaking, always start very cold! You can always soak again and increase the temp/soak time. Once the cotton fibers tighten, they will not stretch at all.

Nice "shrink to fit" jeans, true 80's Levi's. My size 32x32, I bought 33x34

Excellent jeans, great quality and finish. Colour is also very cool. These are SHRINK TO FIT so be careful with sizing.

Be aware that these are shrink-to-fit. That, and the fact that they are decent-weight selvedge 501s are why I bought them. Raw denim is the only way to (button) fly. I haven’t washed mine yet, but I plan to wear them 50+ times before I wash them. This causes them to crease and fade and develop character and personalization. And the fit is tremendous. I suggest buying your normal size in the waist and an extra size in the length. If you’re afraid of STF, don’t be.

Shrink to fit = perfect fit For me the colour (shade of blue) was the deciding factor, which was brilliant. I liked them so much, I decided to buy a second pair.
