## Description

Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501s, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of jeans in existence — burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) invented them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will.

Review: “Classic Jeans That Feel Like Old Friends (But Less Judgy)” - These Levi’s 501s are pretty much what you picture when someone says “jeans.” They’ve been around since the 1870s and have basically defined denim ever since—so you’re literally wearing history (in the best way possible).  The straight leg and regular fit sit at your waist and feel comfortable out of the box, while the button fly gives you that authentic vintage vibe every time you zip them up.  I’ve worn them to casual dinners, yard work, and even just lounging on the couch, and they’ve been great all around. The denim feels substantial without being too stiff, and they hold up surprisingly well through washes. These aren’t skinny or baggy—just classic, timeless jeans that pair with literally anything. Pros: • Timeless Style & Fit: Classic straight leg and regular through the thigh—goes with tees, boots, or your favorite jacket.  • Versatile: Whether you cuff them or let them hang, they always look good. • Durable Denim: Denim that feels like it’s made to last (and age nicely). • Iconic Button Fly: A fun throwback detail that actually works.  Cons: • Break‑In Time: They’re great right away, but get even better after some wears—so expect a little “breaking in.” • Sizing Can Matter: If you’re between sizes, try them on—different washes and years can fit a bit differently. Overall, these are classic American jeans that are worth having in your wardrobe. Simple, effective, and legitimately stylish—Levi’s nailed it.
Review: Second Pair Purchased - First Pair Too Big; This Pair Absolutely Perfect, and Buying More - Perfect fit. Sorry if this is long, but it's been a weird experience with the 501 STFs through the past two orders. I ordered one pair, following Levi's instructions for sizing STFs. I hadn't owned a pair in like 20 years, so I don't remember how I used to size them. Looking back, I think I just bought my regular waist and one size up in length, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the first pair I ordered (Rigid, STF) were sized up one inch in the waist and two in the length. I wear a 33x29, but usually buy 33x30 since 29L is pretty hard to find. I ordered the first pair in a 34x32, sizing up one in the waist and two in the length. I hot soaked them and they barely shrank at all, so I tossed them in the dryer. Still barely noticeable. So I hot soaked them again and put them in the dryer. Still not a good fit at all, and there's a weird bump over my tailbone. They're wearable, but just barely because they are still too big and I look like I'm hiding a tail stub over my butt. Now, on to this pair (burgundy): I just bought these in my usual size (32x30), wore them in a hot bath for 30 minutes, got out and let them drip dry on me, then hung them on a pinch hanger until they were almost dry but still damp. I put them on and wore them until they were totally dry, taking care to avoid bending over or bending my knees or anything. I just stood in my living room and watched the Super Bowl until they were 1005 dry. That was absolutely successful! These are the best-fitting pair that I own now, and I just ordered a pair of the black STFs that arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that I can get the same result with this next pair; if so, I'll probably order another pair of the blue Rigids and donate the first pair to Goodwill or whatever. Sorry for the novel, but that's my experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi dear supplier, Just one question: Be honest please, Is it made in Mexico or Colombia? thank you.**
A: Levi’s has manufacturing facilities all around the world. I used to know the woman in charge for their supply chain. When I mentioned that the jeans in Mexico are consistent but I’ve had to return 501’s from other countries, she did say that was true. This was 15 years ago so I would hope things have changed. I still only buy the ones from Mexico…

**Q: what is the number of the same jeans with a zip fly**
A: The 501 button fly Jean does not duplicate their fit with a zipper. Many say the 505 is the same with a zipper. Not true. Why Levi's doesn't produce the same fit with a zipper has always stumped me. The 501 button fly is one of the best fitting jeans on the market.  To have the same exact fit with a zipper would be awesome. I hate fighting those buttons.

**Q: Are these jeans shrink to fit or pre-washed?**
A: The review from March 27, 2023 said the person received stretch jeans and not the Shrink to Fit jeans that were ordered.  
I ordered the 501's Shrink to Fit and when received, they were way to long per my requested size.  I reordered a shorter size of 501's Shrink to Fit and received jeans that didn't even look like Levi Jeans Material/Denim.  This second order was not what I ordered.   Another thing, it said "MADE IN EGYPT."  Since when?  I am not happy about this and will send back to Amazon.  It did say 501 Shrink to Fit. but that was crap because it was not the traditional material.  SO  BUMMED

**Q: I have older 505 with a 15 inch leg openning.  Which current Levi cut is closest to it?**
A: The 502 is very similar with a tapered leg.  I have some really old (70's) 505's also that have very narrow leg openings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Levi's 501 Quality. Still the Best Value and Personal Fit in denim.
*by S***H on March 27, 2023*

These are REAL Levi's 501s. I don't know what all the griping is about from the highest viewed review dated 2020. It's 2023 people. These 501s are coming direct from Levi Strauss & Co. through Amazon. They aren't knock offs, fakes, or counterfeit 501s. I got mine and they have all the button stamps ink stamps, and codes that Levi's have always had through the years. I've been wearing Levis for 50+ years, so I have a little experience. I've tried all the other jean brands, and even the high end jeans, and even the brands inspired by Levi's, and still keep coming back to Levi's 501 STF. The 501 STF is still the benchmark for rugged denim that shrinks to perfectly fit your body. I'm 5'11 185 lbs. I order W35 L36. After FOLLOWing THE INSTRUCTIONS - wear them in the tub on a hot day, then go out and do some ranch or yard work. Let them dry and shrink to fit your body. After a few wear and cold washing cycles, they shrink down to W34 L32-33 depending on how warm you dry 'em. They'll still fit over western boots, too. If you like your denim stiff and raw, order your actual size. Although, I've yet to meet someone who actually does this. Seems that it would be a little uncomfortable. Some reviewers say they aren't the same 501 as they were decades ago. Question for them...What these days is the same as it was decades ago? I can't think of much, including myself. And what's all the griping about where they're made? Yeah-Yeah, I'd love for them to still be made in the good 'ol USA, by USA workers, but that's not in the cards these days. Thank politicians and trade deals for that. The pairs I ordered were made in Egypt. I was curious, so I searched this out. Have you seen the online videos of this state of the art manufacturing facility? It's pretty impressive - with what appears to be modern equipment and high tech, good quality processes in place to ensure consistency. And what's not to love about Egyptian cotton? The 501's I have that are a few years old are now thick and soft - the product of washing them inside out and drying properly. This also ensures uniform fading of the denim so they will look great too. Bottom Line, if you want a pair of jeans that will fit you perfectly, and last years, I recommend going with the 501 Shrink to Fit (STF). If you don't want to invest the time to break them in and have a pair of jeans that fit you perfectly, you can buy the already pre-shrunk 501 versions. If the buttons bug you, go with the zippered 505s. The 505 is supposedly the same as the 501 but with a zipper. Although, I don't believe Levi's makes 505s in a STF version anymore.
