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
  • Featuring a button fly
  • 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.

Best fit

19 days ago
Just what I was looking for. It's an art but worth the effort. I sized up 1 in the waist and 3 on the length. Best fit. Don't need the stretchy. This is just right.

Custom fit design

Finally real jeans. Ok so they require a different level of care and breaking in that probably no one cares to do in current times. But they become comfortable custom fit after little effort - wash alone , wear wet to conform to your body a few times
