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
  • Featuring a button fly
  • 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.
  • 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.

Buy 'shrink to fit' for exact FIT!

a month ago
I've gone back to buying Levi ''shrink to fit'' because the pre-washed jeans are inaccurate in thier sizing. Enough said! Remember, waist will shrink 1" and legs 2". Soak in very hot water and dry on very hot! Result= will fit like a GLOVE!

Yes, I recommend this product.

OG still wearing since the ‘70s!

a month ago
Been wearing 501s since the 70’s! I usually wear them for months before a soak. Love the fit when I go up 1”- 2” in waist. Not tight after the soak. Perfect! I usually go up 2”- 4” in length because I like a cuff. The length will definitely pull up after a soak and a short/light drying. Still make my butt look good, even into my 60s! ;)

...nobody asked me but..

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.
