About this Style

Levi’s® Vintage Clothing reproduces the fits, fabrics and details of bygone eras. Our source material is our own archive, and our inspiration is the hardworking men and women that the Levi’s® Brand has equipped for the last 150 years. Through our seasonal collections, iconic reissues and special editions, we relive our treasured history and offer timeless products to discerning connoisseurs that are as obsessed with it as we are.


In 1934, we introduced the first five-pocket jean especially built for women: the 701®. Made famous by the premiere American fashion magazine of its time, the 701® had a distinctly high-waisted, more curved fit. Today, we reproduced these glossy magazine-approved 1950s Women's 701 Jeans stitch-for-stitch using premium selvedge denim.

Great pair of jeans

9 months ago
I am 28’ and 1.72 height and ordered 28’ inseam 32 they fit like a glove. The fabric is very soft which makes the high rise very comfortable at the hips and waist. The zipper quality is also great. I Am buying another wash in the sale 😉

Best pair of jeans I have ever owned. Lightweight denim, hugs my waist for an emphasis on curves, fashion forward straight legs, and selvedge on the turned up cuff looks great. I own three pairs. Two in size 25 and one in size 26 for winter when I wear long johns for warmth. I am 5’3’ and 100 lbs.

Great staple

a year ago
Bought both black and blue. They're great, hidden rivet detail, talon zippers. Quality of the blue seem just a little nicer. Wish the black were the same weight of denim as the blue (they're lighter, softer). Selvedge on black not obvious due to overdye. I could have sized down (both) for a tighter fit but all levis seem to be running big these days.

Bravo Levis! More Please

2 years ago
Levi's are the only jeans that I wear and these stunners are my latest purchase. They are metallic blue which come up high on the waist and makes your make your legs look skyscraper long. Levi's is once again making the waist enhancing jeans. Take an honest measurement of your waist and think 100% cotton, no give (initially), 100% cotton, no give and you will probably be happy with your purchase. If you desire a fair whack of comfort, I would consider trying two sizes, one a bit larger and one what you think is your actual waistline. I have not washed them yet but know I will use cold and hang to dry and expect them to wash beautifully.

Perfect jeans, for my body.

2 years ago
I liked these so much I purchased a second pair. When I first pulled them on I thought there was no way they would fit because they felt a little tight going over my hips. But they fit as if they were tailor-made for me. Absolutely perfect. They say they are pre-shrunk, and I purchased a 32 inseam to allow for some shrinkage. So, I will have to get these hemmed, I guess. But I have ordered a 30 seam to see whether those are a better length. For reference, I am 5’11, 134 lbs., long-waisted. I am a size 6 in most clothing. I ordered a size 28.

Vintage denim for women, yay!

2 years ago
These are super high waisted and very flattering. The denim is fairly lightweight and pre-shrunk. Given the high waist and 100 percent cotton, it does take a little squirming to get them over my hips but I wouldn’t change a thing. Cool denim for women, thank you Levi’s! For reference, I’m 5’5” 105 lbs, usually order the smallest size in everything (xxs, 00, etc). Went with the 23x32. They’re a bit long with flats, good with boots, fit like a glove. The leg opening measurement (width at the cuff) is 7 3/4.

Great pair of jeans

I bought both in black and dark denim. I usually wear a 25 and they fit perfect around the waist, and a little tight around thighs and hip(I'm a pear-shape). Hopefully it breaks in as I wear it. Overall, my favorite pairs of jeans from Levis and they make your legs look super long!!

Levi's 701s

2 days ago
These are the best I've found, however, they're not perfect. I love 701s for the super high rise and all-cotton. But I really wish they came in a button-fly option and had more leg and style options (like the Ribcages, which are just slightly too short of a rise for me).

Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice but don't fit quite right

8 months ago
Got in my size, they fit a lot more snug than usual. They fit very high waisted and leg length was too long on me (there wasn't a length choice at the time I purchased) but they do make you look quite snatched. I ended up returning but the quality of them was very nice.

Great jeans but…

11 months ago
Loved these jeans! I specifically was looking for raw denim. They fit well. The straight/slim leg cut with the very high waist is very flattering. I found that they fit very true to size but I did have to wiggle them on due to the very high waist. Have said all this… I will be returning them. I just don’t know how one can sit in these jeans. The waist cuts into my stomach.

Size up for this timeless pair

a year ago
Stunning pair, super flattering, and feels very quality. I wear a lot of boutique brand, high-end selvedge denim and these feel comparable. Fortunately I was able to try on for size when I purchased them in Paris - I’m usually a 26/27 and the 29 fits like a glove, so be prepared to size up 1-2 over your normal! Timeless denim worth the investment.

I love that they are not elastic and that the denim is in its original shape and color. Very rare nowadays. The only thing that would make them greater (for me) is if they were shorter. They are exactly as described and true to size.

Die Maße stimmten nicht ganz überein. Das Modell trug bei Größe 175 cm eine Länge von 32 und konnte die Jeans noch umkrempeln. Ich bin 165 cm groß, bestellte 30 und die Länge ist knapp, nichts mit umkrempeln! Schade.

Nice quality but too wide in the leg and too long.

a year ago
These are well made, strong jeans, and I liked the colour, but they were much too voluminous in the leg for me. They look a lot narrower in the photographs. They were also very long, given that I bought my normal leg length. I would have had to shorten them. I wanted to like them enough to keep, but they had to go back.

Sizing is different proportions and smaller than u

a month ago
I was eager to tave add these jeans in my collection of 701 vintage jeans. On arrival it was clear it was a lot smaller in the waist than my other 701 1950's. The zipper was stiff, but I did manage to get them on. They are way too tight in the waist, crotch, and butt, make my belly pooch out., Altogether, uncomfortable and impractical. They are apparently non-returnable, and since I am already under weight, no change they will ever fit. It is disappointing that what I expected to be a wonderful addition to my many LVC and Made and Crafted jeans is oddball sized. Cannot recommend unless you have tried this style and size beforehand. Meanwhile I am stuck with an expensive pair of jeans even at a sale price.

Quality Check? I guess not.

a month ago
These are supposed to be top of the line Levi’s (considering how much they cost) with great quality check. So how did I receive jeans without a Levi’s patch? It’s fairly obvious. Also one of the defining features was suppose to be the cloth patch. I can’t exchange it bc my size is sold out. Feels like they knew this one was defective/damaged, but sent it anyway. It’s a shame, bc these jeans really do fit my body type as someone who has a 12 in difference between waist and hips. Zipper is also kind of rough, but it’s useable. So if you get a pair with all the bells and whistles, it’s a keeper. However, it seems like even the premium line suffers from poor quality checks

Description incorrect, they're high and tight

3 years ago
Description on the site says these are low rise with a relaxed fit, they're the Opposite. Ribcage high and snug through the butt and thigh. These look more like slim-bodied 70's mom jeans (from the knees up) when worn.Also, I ordered a few sizes for fit and they run small, the 29 fit like a 27. Had to return them as they were totally unflattering and disappointing.
