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 with the iconic button fly
  • A blank canvas for customization and self-expression
  • 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.
  • 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.

501 Shrink-to-Fit: My go-to for decades!

9 days ago
Denim and Levi's are in my blood: my family were cotton farmers, cotton mill hands, and garment mill workers over the generations. Levi's were my first "big boy" jeans as I approached my teens, and they've been my go-to for almost 60 years. My size is 30x36 to allow for shrinkage, and that size combo is sometimes hard to find. I bought this most recent pair at Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply. Thank you, Murdoch's, for carrying Levi's 501 Shrink-to-Fits and for carrying the 30x36 size!
