Worn by generations, defining style for decades. Since Levi's invented it in 1873, the 501 Original has been a blank canvas for self-expression. An iconic straight fit with the signature button fly and an authentic look and feel. With no added stretch, the 501 Original sits at the waist and is regular through the thigh with a straight leg. Can be worn with a clean rolled hem or full length, whichever you prefer. For a classic all-American look, pair with a Levi’s Trucker Jacket and a simple crewneck tee. The ultimate icon of American culture, the one that started it all—the Original 501 Jean. They're tried and true, pure and simple, the one and only. Review: Time to look for a new jean - 501's used to be great jeans but, as pointed out by many others, the quality is gone. The fabric is thinner than it used to be and they tear easily. I could excuse that when they were $30, or on sale for about that much. What I can't overlook in the latest bunch that I ordered is the variation in fit. They fit nothing like my other 501s. I think they adjusted the fit to be more trendy. One way or another, I think I've ordered my last pair of 501s. Review: Only fit as expected for one reason - Reason being I tried them on in the wash I ordered (and even then I probably just got lucky). Been wearing 501s forever but I only own one, maybe two pairs at a time. I wear them until there's nothing left, then get another pair. Right now I've had one pair for the last two years. They've never seen a washing machine and are only OCCASIONALLY rinsed off in a cold tub and left to drip dry. (Say what you will about hygiene but I'm left with the most comfortable, best fitting jeans this way.) Unfortunately nowadays you can pick up four or five pair of Levi's in different colors and washes, all marked the same size, and you'll find that a few are super baggy, and a couple are so tight you can't even fasten them, but MAYBE one pair will fit like an old glove. Buy that pair and you won't regret it. Kind of makes buying online impossible, which is extra annoying since the places in town that sell them mark them up to almost $80 and then run a "sale" that puts them around $10-15 more than the prices on desertcart, and even those places only carry a few washes/colors. I'm giving five stars to my particular pair of trusty old 501s. I sincerely hope I can find another pair as good. ## Features - Regular Through The Thigh - Straight leg - Sits at your waist - Front rise: 11 1/4", Knee: 17 1/2", Leg Opening: 16", Measurements based on size 32. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0018OR118 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Type | Button | | Apparel Occasion and Lifestyle | casual, comfort | | Brand Name | Levi's | | Care instructions | Wash And Dry Inside Out With Like Colors, Liquid Detergent Is Recommended | | Closure type | Button | | Customer Reviews | 2.5 out of 5 stars 62 Reviews | | Fabric Stretchability | Non-stretchable | | Fabric Type | 100% Cotton | | Fabric type | 100% Cotton | | Fit Type | Regular | | Front Pleat Type | Flat Front | | Front Pocket Count | 2 | | Item Length Description | Long Length | | Item Type Name | jeans | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Leg Style | Straight | | Manufacturer | Levi's | | Material Type | Cotton | | Model Name | 501 Original-fit Jeans | | Number Of Pockets | 5 | | Origin | Imported | | Pants Form Type | Jeans | | Pattern Style | Solid | | Pocket Description | Basic 5 Pocket | | Product Care Instructions | Wash And Dry Inside Out With Like Colors, Liquid Detergent Is Recommended | | Rise Style | Mid Rise | | Seasons | Spring 2- Summer | | Style Name | 501 Original-fit Jeans | | Style Number | 00501 | | character | Sports | ## Images ![Levi's Men's 501 Original-Fit Jean - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hbmwa+vjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these sit at or below waist?** A: These definitely sit below the waist. I wear 36/34. 35/34. I went back to my 550. For me much more comfortable. If you’re smaller, skinny person I would stick with the 501 but at 6’1 1/2. I like my butt fully covered not having to pull up my pants every few minutes feeling like I am a plumber. **Q: do these shrink?** A: Both of mine shrank quite a bit after the first wash. I thought maybe the drawing on the Logo (the one with two horses) serves a second purpose as instruction manual. But your own body will stretch it back out. My normal size is 30 W X 32 L. The first time I bought these jeans, I got my normal size. I wore it once. It was tight around my thighs, but the waist fit perfectly. After the first wash, I noticed that the waist was tight and the legs were shorter. I did a search on the web. The most helpful website said that for my size the in-seam shrinks 3 inches and the waist shrinks 1 inch. So, the second time I bought these jeans, I ordered 31W X 34 L. Then, even before wearing them once, I washed and dried them. The drier shrunk the jeans by 1 inch in the waist and by 3 inches for the inseam.I still like the shrunk 30 W X 32 L, my normal size. I feel like I'm being swaddled. I understand that the waist will stretch out over time, but there is no way I'm getting back the missing inches for the in-seam. So, I ordered a third pair that is 30 W X 34 L. **Q: what #'s would be similar in fit to 501's?** A: Don't listen to the trolls who say the 550 is similar fit. 550 is a relaxed fit which couldn't be further from the fit of the 501. **Q: Pardon my ignorance, but which one is the original, regular, normal stf color? I cannot figure it out, with so many colors.** A: Marie is not correct. "Clean Rigid" its not the right color nor fabric. It's a softer and seemingly thinner fabric and has white stitching. I know because unfortunately I ordered a pair based on her answer. I do not know what is the original. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Time to look for a new jean *by M***F on January 2, 2015* 501's used to be great jeans but, as pointed out by many others, the quality is gone.

In fewer than six months, the crotch material had come out. I could no longer wear them and returned them minus a stocking fee of about $8. The good part is Amazon's ability to take back a failure such as this. I grew up in 501s and have always found them to be comfortable and tough. Now, they're just comfortable. The seams did not come apart. It was the fabric. Originally, fabric was so thick that they were hard to wear before being washed. Even after washing, I could stretch the pants vertically and hold them from the bottom. The fabric was that heavy. Now, it's like gauze in comparison. I'm going to try once more and hope for the best. Levi -- get attuned to quality and stop selling junk. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/156692-levis-mens-501-original-fit-jean](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/156692-levis-mens-501-original-fit-jean) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
