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.

Legends never die tried and true jeans.

22 days ago
Levis 501 Shrink To Fit. I personally believe is a staple and legend in jeans. This is all my Grandpa wore for over 60 years until his last days on earth. I had a good mentor and teacher and I’m grateful that I’m continuing in his foot steps wearing 501’s. They go great with my cowboy boots and the sharp creases that I have on them.

Yes, I recommend this product.

501 shrink to fit

24 days ago
follow the advise on this. buy 1 inch larger than the waist, 3 inches from the length. it will shrink gradually to fit you, after a few washes. wash cold inside out to minimize fading if you like to maintain the true denim color.

Great jeans

a month ago
I haven't worn a pair of these since the 1980s and decided to try them again. I ordered my usual waist size and added a couple inches to the length, wore them in a warm tub for about 30 minutes and kept them on until dry. They are almost perfect -- just a little loose and maybe a half inch longer than ideal, but still a great fit. I'm sure the more I wear them, they will continue to conform and become a favorite pair of jeans. Love the button fly, too.

Do these jeans make my derriere look big?

a month ago
Good price on a classic item. They make them in Egypt now. I just took 5 worn out pairs to Goodwill. 1 was made in USA, 1 was Guatemala, and 3 were Mexico. I'm guessing the USA ones were 30 plus years old. Hopefully, the Egyptian version lasts as long-as I plan to be wearing shrink to fits when I'm 95.

Yes, I recommend this product.
