With patience comes much reward

a year ago
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.

A+ Jean investment.

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!

Wardrobe Staple

a year ago
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.

Example of why I love 501s

a year ago
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.

Warning: These are shrink-to-fit.

a year ago
These fit great, with a slightly higher waist than a regular 501 and nice heavy selvedge denim. They are shrink-to-fit according to the label so fair warning if you plan to wash/dry them.

Uncomplete product bio

2 years ago
Its STF, doesnt state that in product bio, if you contact support theyll tell yoi it isn’t STF because theyll just read the product bio and see it isnt there, just assume all Levi M&C jeans are STF, not everyone wants to deal with that hassle or have the money to risk if if turns out okay, STF can be risky
