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
  • This selvedge denim is woven on a traditional shuttle loom, which gives these jeans a tighter weave for extra durability and creates the crisp, finished edge that sets them apart from the rest.
  • 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.

THE ORIGINAL

4 months ago
I casually entered the Levi's Outlet Store at Tanger Hershey, PA. i didn't have high expectation, but i found an amazing deal. there was a pair of Levi's 501 unwashed selvedge jeans, in my size, in the markdown section! dreams do come true. I've worn them multiple times since purchasing; they've become my new go-to denim jeans.

The Best Version of the 501 Jeans!

4 months ago
The Levi’s 501 Selvedge Jeans are truly outstanding. The quality is exceptional, with a soft, premium feel and a rich, beautiful color that stands out. From the moment I put them on, the fit was spot-on—they complement my shape perfectly and highlight all the right features. If you already like the classic 501 fit, this selvedge version is a definite upgrade—more refined, more comfortable, and noticeably higher-end in both look and feel. Highly recommended!

Timeless and universal

4 months ago
Levi's are a go to for all occasions. Darker colours fou the office, lighter for leisure. 501s original denim's reliable fit ensures no need to delve into questionable elasticated materials. Top class customer service when rare issues encountered secures Levi's place in my wardrobe for the foreseeable.

Yes, I recommend this product.

A good price on decent selvedge

These jeans are pretty nice, especially for the sale price. They are not the most interesting selvedge out there (Gustin, Naked and Famous or similar), but they make a great pair of day to day pants with a classic look. I wish they came in 31x36!
