About this Style

In 1934, we introduced the first five-pocket jean especially built for women: the 701®. Made famous by the premiere American fashion magazine of its time, the 701® had a distinctly high-waisted, more curved fit. Today, we reproduced these glossy magazine-approved 1950s Women's 701 Jeans stitch-for-stitch using premium selvedge denim.

  • A recreation of the first ever five-pocket jean designed and crafted especially for women
  • Made with a distinct high-waisted fit designed especially to flatter
  • Finished with a cloth Levi's® back patch
  • Better clothes. Better choices. We made this garment with organically grown cotton, which uses no synthetic pesticides and saves water
  • Relaxed through your hip and thigh
  • Low rise

These are my new favorite obsession. They make your legs look so long and hug my curves well too. They are perfect rolled up and left down. Heals, sneakers, sandals, you name it! I would definitely size down. I went up a size and they are a tad tight. Prepare for the length too. A length of a 30 feels like a 32.

Perfect jeans, for my body.

a year ago
I liked these so much I purchased a second pair. When I first pulled them on I thought there was no way they would fit because they felt a little tight going over my hips. But they fit as if they were tailor-made for me. Absolutely perfect. They say they are pre-shrunk, and I purchased a 32 inseam to allow for some shrinkage. So, I will have to get these hemmed, I guess. But I have ordered a 30 seam to see whether those are a better length. For reference, I am 5’11, 134 lbs., long-waisted. I am a size 6 in most clothing. I ordered a size 28.

Vintage denim for women, yay!

a year ago
These are super high waisted and very flattering. The denim is fairly lightweight and pre-shrunk. Given the high waist and 100 percent cotton, it does take a little squirming to get them over my hips but I wouldn’t change a thing. Cool denim for women, thank you Levi’s! For reference, I’m 5’5” 105 lbs, usually order the smallest size in everything (xxs, 00, etc). Went with the 23x32. They’re a bit long with flats, good with boots, fit like a glove. The leg opening measurement (width at the cuff) is 7 3/4.

Love the retro style

a year ago
I love that they are not elastic and that the denim is in its original shape and color. Very rare nowadays. The only thing that would make them greater (for me) is if they were shorter. They are exactly as described and true to size.

Description incorrect, they're high and tight

2 years ago
Description on the site says these are low rise with a relaxed fit, they're the Opposite. Ribcage high and snug through the butt and thigh. These look more like slim-bodied 70's mom jeans (from the knees up) when worn.Also, I ordered a few sizes for fit and they run small, the 29 fit like a 27. Had to return them as they were totally unflattering and disappointing.

Sizing inconsistencies and seemingly poor quality

8 months ago
As one of the other reviewers complained, sizing runs very small. Levi's responded with a poor excuse that they have "a huge range of jeans that are designed to fit different body types and styles" but that doesn't really excuse what's going on with this cut. The description says it fits "Relaxed through your hip and thigh" yet it's seems tighter than their current "Original" 501 cut that's described as "Regular Through The Thigh". I bought the 34/30 and perhaps it's an issue with this particular pattern, others described other sizes as true. Also, for a "Levi's Vintage" premium priced product, the quality seems rather poor. Material seems thin, sizing on the pattern spread seems inconsistent, and a cheep zipper. Seems someone else tried my pair on thinking this was their size also - the tight area around the hip pulls directly at the bottom of the open zipper and while trying to get them up, they must have pulled 3-4 teeth off one side of the open zipper, rendering it useless in it's full length. I've compared this zipper to my other Levi's and it does seem lighter and cheeper. Overall, I'm very disappointed. I've spent a lot of time navigating through the "fit" of the different styles of Levi's Jeans and when there's such inconsistencies within a particular pattern spread, it makes it difficult to understand how to order their products. Also makes it difficult for Levi's to understand when they have problem. To be fair, their products are sewn all over the world with reasonable consistency. One might, and perhaps they, assume that the Japanese made premium product would be of a higher and more consistent quality - I'm feeling they need to take a closer look at this. I really wanted to be thrilled with this purchase but unfortunately it's getting returned as defective. I'm hoping they run a new batch of the 701 that would stand up in quality to the premium price they're charging for it - I do want to be thrilled with a pair of good 701s...
