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
  • We infused the horizontal ("weft") threads with advanced stretch technology—so these jeans have extra give and flexibility, without getting saggy or baggy

Levi's 501

2 months ago
Consistency across decades Levi’s tweaks washes and fits, but the core 501 formula hasn’t been watered down the way some other models have. Even as some brands shifted to lighter blends, the 501 has mostly kept that heavier, all‑cotton feel that ages slowly and predictably.

Yes, I recommend this product.

501's

I like the comfortable fit of 501's. I used to wear them in high school. I hadn't had them for a few years and decided to revisit the timeless style and I like it very much.

Same As It Ever Was

3 months ago
Recently purchased the first pairs of 501s that I've owned since high school. They are comfortable, just like I remembered. They are quality, just like I remembered. And, they look great, just like I remembered. Very happy with this buy.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Original fit with a hint of stretch is just right

3 months ago
Couldn't pass these up during a final sale. Waist fits well mainly because of the stretch, and the drape on legs seems slightly slimmer (a good thing for me) due to the stretch. My too skinny legs swim a little in a straight leg, otherwise. I think this pair helps me calibrate sizing for my next 501 variations as well. Will probably get 501 slim taper with selvedge next in the same size (in low stretch) and size up by 1-2 in width and length in non-stretch to allow some room to shrink. This pair shrank a tiny bit in cold water wash, tumble dry low, then stretched back out to fit well. Only thing with any denim with stretch is they seem to pull out of shape pretty quickly after only 2 wears compared to non-stretch denim. Comes with the territory. Overall these 501s are fantastic.

The perfect jean if you are looking for that retro 80s style, the sizing is quite accurate, maybe slightly on the smaller side, but no complaints.
