About this Style

Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501® Originals, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of modern jeans in existence—burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) introduced them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will.


  • The original blue jeans
  • Our signature straight fit
  • A blank canvas for customization and self-expression
  • Made with non-stretch denim
  • These jeans are Shrink-to-Fit™, meaning you control the shrinkage yourself, which allows the denim to conform to your unique body. The payoff is a pair of jeans with a custom-made fit. No tailor necessary.
  • Hold the H2O: This garment was made using recycled water, which helps us to reduce our impact on this finite resource
  • To find the right size for Shrink-to-Fit™ jeans, there are three options. 1) For the old-school technique, buy true to size in the waist and two sizes up in length. Wear them in the tub and keep them on to dry. 2) For those who want to machine wash and dry the jeans, we recommend ordering up: For your waist, increase 1" for sizes 27"-36", 2" for 38"-48", and 3" for 50" and up. And for your inseam, increase 3" for sizes 27"-34" and 4" for 36" and up. 3) For purists who like their denim unwashed, no need to size up. Buy them true to size.

Best 501s For colour and fit. Not STF

25 days ago
Had 501s for over 40 years and this version is the best in style, feel and colour. Bought 2 pairs in the sale and getting another pair. Not sure where people get the impression they are STF - they are not. Get your actual size.

Loose

a month ago
I have a 36" waist and ordered a 36" and 34". The unwashed 36" was very loose and the 34" fitted my waist. Anticipating shrinkage I went with the 36" and returned the other pair. These jeans have not shrunk as much as I expected, even after two 95°C washes. They fit in the waist but are wide in the thigh and full in the seat. Perhaps what might be called a cowboy cut, comfortable in the saddle. I wanted a regular fit but these are looser than my Lee 101z or Wrangler 13mwz.

High quality and true fit! These jeans feel premium with sturdy denim that holds up wash after wash. The cut is spot-on—snug in all the right places without being restrictive. Perfect for everyday wear, highly recommend.

Najlepsze spodnie jakie miałem.

Uwielbiam ten model od lat. Pierwszą parę kupiłem na studiach 30 lat temu. I jestem wierny marce do dzisiaj. Idealnie się prezentują i są doskonałe na każdą okazję. A co równie ważne, nie muszę przymierzać w sklepie, tylko podaję Pani konkretny rozmiar i wiem, że będzie pasował doskonale. Polecam każdemu, bo to najlepsze spodnie jakie miałem.

Old Friends

It's been years since I last owned a pair of 501 jeans. I'd been meaning to buy selvedge 501 jeans for a while and Red Tab sale was too good to miss. They are 'shrink to fit' and I've not had 'shrink to fit' since 1970s but I bought perfect size raw denim so won't try that so I keep them perfect size. I'll just follow cold wash instructions. These are great jeans. I'm enjoying wearing them and feel good matching with my other Levi denim shirts and baseball caps. Also, other Levi shirts. I can see why younger people are checking them out.

Best of the 501 Replicas!

2 months ago
I've been wearing some iteration of the 501 since the late '60's and these are the best yet! Genuine Selvedge without the annoying left leg "wraparound" of the original (well, there's a slight bit), slightly heavier fabric and thread weight, excellent Vietnamese construction. I got the same size as I've always used in 501/505/511 jeans and they are perfect.

The Only Jeans I Want or Need

2 months ago
These live up to the reputation that 501s have built for 150+ years. They are very well-constructed. I hope Levi's continues to sell these jeans for a very, very long time. I don't need anything more than what these jeans provide.
