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.

The original

Finding the original style and make of Levi’s is a treasure. Shrink to fit means 1” larger in your waist and 3” longer than your normal size. Follow this advice for a perfect fit and enjoy the best of Levi’s!

Shrink to fit 501's rock, but.....

4 months ago
Have always loved 501's! The men's 501's have always fit me much better (I'm a girl). The shrink-to-fit used to be ordered as your actual size and Levi Co. built in the shrinkage. Now, you have to order 2 sizes bigger to get the same thing. Who wants to have a beautiful label on the back that is announcing 2 sizes bigger than what they actually shrink to? Again, I'm a girl, so.... I ordered my normal size as I usually do, without realizing the change, and now I can't wash them or they won't fit. In the end, I'm still getting the great fit, in my size, but can't afford the shrinkage when I wash. I give the product a 5, but are you changing that so you can save on material at the expense of a girls pride?

Stiff is the Authentic STF fabric

4 months ago
Today's 501 STF are like a cloud compared to the ones made in the 70's. The fabric was thicker and hence, similar to cardboard when new and unwashed. BUT they wore like iron (once they were laundered 4 - 5 times and you could move in them)and with wear, nothing felt as comfortable and rugged as these original Levis. The initial concept of denin was a fabric for work clothes. To integrate the style into everday wear ( and save money) the fabric was made thinner. Ugh! So, you sissies, buy the Levis with stretch...and quit complaining about a vintage piece of clothing.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not just 501’s….. shrink to fit 501’s

4 months ago
My first pair of Levi’s were shrink to fit back in the 70’s when I was a teen. I’ve had at least a pair of 501’s ever since. I’m much happier with the button fly than a zipper. Everyone should own at least one pair of 501s. Your wardrobe isn’t complete without this essential element.

501 Original Shrink -to -Fit Jeans

4 months ago
Great fit ! Everything was just right ! I actually came across these by accident; was originally looking for some higher end jeans when I saw these and decided to give them a try since I have never seen these before in addition to then sale price decided to give them a try. I am pleasantly surprised of the estimated shipping time, overall style, and the Georgetown Grey that complements every outfit ! Thank you Levi's! I have been a customer since high school and will continue to be well past my college career !
