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.

Good, reliable Levi's!

19 days ago
Have worn Levi's for 70+ years. These are good...not great...as I have found the last 4 - 5 pairs have small, non-fatal defects. The front pockets aren't sewn evenly, so when you put your hand in your pocket, you can feel where the pocket's seam is misaligned, leaving you wondering. I had the leather patch come off one pair, just because it wasn't sewn well. I had the top left corner of my right rear patch pocket pull away from the material of the jean--where the jean fabric tore, leaving the corner of the pocket sticking out 18", revealing what color underwear I am wearing. Just little things--a lack of quality control that wasn't there in the past.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Timeless

501s have been around forever. My husband got out of the habit of wearing them; he was starting to prefer the carpenter style Levi’s because of the looser fit and lots of pockets! I bought him 2 pairs of 501s because the carpenter style became hard to find in store and were expensive online. He wore them the other night and they look so good and so much better on him; though he misses the pockets. :/

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Jeans

21 days ago
I have worn 501 jeans since junior high school, I am 77yrs old so it has been awhile. For all that time I have worn the "shrink to fit" style in these jeans as they were all that was available when I began wearing them. At my age I just got tired of wearing the jeans for at least six months or so before they started to feel right and decided to try the new to me anyway pre-washed/pre-shrunk jeans shown here. These will be my go-to jeans from now on, I should have started wearing them years ago but oh well, live and learn, this old dog does learn new tricks it just takes awhile. Enjoy.

Yes, I recommend this product.

LOVE the color, love the fit, love the no-stretch. Button-fly is annoying, but worth the hassle for a great pair of jeans.

All my husband will wear, over fifty years now.

a month ago
When I first met my husband (fifty four years ago) he had never heard of Levi’s! Didn’t take long to make a life long convert of him, now he will wear nothing else. Fifty two years of marriage and this is the only Jean he’ll wear, shrink to fit 501’s. Heaven forbid if you stop making these, he would go naked! And I so appreciate the sale, I’m going to try and buy him a couple pairs every time so he’ll be stocked up. Thank you!

501 Shrink to Fit is the Way to Go

a month ago
Shrink to fit 501s never let you down! Get em two sizes large (if you wear a 34 waist w a 34 inseam get a 36 waist and 36 inseam) wash em and wear em. Takes twice for me for them to fit perfectly. They last longer too.
