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 rigid, 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.
  • 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.

...nobody asked me but..

4 days ago
I ordered one pair of Levi's 501 Original Shrink to fit blue Jeans from your on line store, like the ones I've been sporting since '65, 'cause, you know, The work well for work as well as dress up. The jeans arrived quickly, fit perfectly, instantly upgraded my look and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. (one thing though, have y'all ever considered putting a phone pocket on your 501 legs [like wrangler does]? Those are super convenient, and to me would make them absolutely next level perfect! Nevertheless, I am one lifelong satisfied customer.

Best Way to Order Husband's Jeans

9 days ago
This is the second time I've ordered Levi's 501 Shrink-to-Fit from this site. They are the only jeans my husband will wear, and it used to be so hard to find his size, especially in the colors he wanted! I ordered him 3 different colors, all in his size, during a 30% off sale. This made them a reasonable price, and they arrived on time. Definitely makes my life easier--no more hunting through a hundred pairs of jeans at the store, only to find out they don't have his size! Happy with product & customer service👍!

These have changed little over the years…

…the fabric yes, but the fit? No! My husband of almost 50 years has worn this style since before we met, in a daily basis. He did go up an inch in the waist size a few years back, but that’s been the only adjustment he’s had to make. He still looks magnificent in them.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Levis till I die!

15 days ago
I have worn shrink-to-fit five button Levis 501 jeans EXCLUSIVELY since the 1960s. Wouldn't dream of wearing anything else. If someone or some "function" demands I wear different pants than Levis 501s originals, well, I just don't go there.
