Amazing quality

15 days ago
I received this product from Influenster for my honest review. Levi's did it again with these jeans. They continue to produce high-quality and fashionable jeans at every chance they get. These Made in Japan 1980s 501 original fit transport you back to the '80s, where rock and roll ruled, and that was the style. They took the vintage look people are looking for and crafted a perfect pair of jeans with high-quality material made in Japan. As for the fit, I feel they run fairly true to size, which is expected with the detail put into these. That is extremely important when purchasing online. You can style these jeans in so many ways that they are as versatile as you want them to be. I have no complaints and only praise as Levi's continues to excel in crafting quality for all walks of life.

Best pair of jeans I’ve ever tried. Comfortable an

a month ago
I recently received Levi’s 1980’s 501 Original Fit Men’s Jeans for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review and I absolutely loved this product. This jeans feels absolutely amazing. It’s the most comfortable pair of jeans I’ve ever worn. There are no loose threads and you can tell plenty of time and care went into making each pair of these jeans. There’s a lot of cool details like the way it buttons, the made in Japan sticker, and the unique Levi’s made in Japan stamp on the back of the jeans. Sizing is definitely not my favorite as the only length options are way too long for me. Luckily it’s made like this since they want you to size up since these jeans have a lot of shrinkage during the first wash. So definitely get your waist size but get a larger length size since these jeans shrink in length. I definitely recommend these jeans to anyone looking for a high quality pair of jeans to elevate their style and comfort.

The Perfect Vintage Jeans

2 months ago
We got the Levi’s 501R Fit Men Jeans (1980’s style) for my husband and honestly, they look amazing on him. The cut is classic yet modern, and the fit is just perfect !! True to size and super comfortable to wear all day. The fabric feels premium and durable, with that authentic vintage denim texture that’s hard to find these days. The stitching and finishing are flawless, you can tell it’s a high-quality piece. It’s definitely a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the timeless style, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Just like my old pair from the 80’s

2 months ago
The 1980’s version is my favorite so far. Doesn’t seem as baggy as other 501’s I own and has a decent rise. The made in Japan quality is equal to the vintage USA made ones I grew up with. It would be nice if they would come out with a red white and blue tab series :)

Timeless Style and Perfect Fit

2 months ago
The Levi’s 1980’s 501® Original Fit Men’s Jeans capture true vintage charm with a modern touch. The craftsmanship is exceptional — from the sturdy denim to the rich, character-filled finish that only Levi’s can deliver. The fit is classic yet flattering, offering comfort while keeping that iconic straight-leg silhouette. I love the subtle Blue Tab™ detailing, which adds a touch of sophistication to a timeless design. These jeans feel durable, well-made, and effortlessly stylish — a perfect blend of heritage and everyday wearability.
