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.

The Levi's 501 Shrink to Fit jeans have garnered high praise from long-time wearers for their authentic quality and perfect fit after following the shrink-to-fit process. These iconic jeans are noted for their rugged denim material, high-quality manufacturing, and the unique personal fit that can be achieved. The ability to customize the jeans to one's body is a standout feature, with multiple reviews highlighting contentment with how the jeans conform to various body types after several wear and cold washing cycles.

  • 📏 Can shrink to a perfect fit by following the instructions
  • 🌟 Noted durability and longevity, lasting years
  • 🔩 Button fly provides a tailored look and feel
  • 🧵 Quality material celebrated for not bleeding color in wash

Cons

  • 👷 Requires an investment of time for the initial shrinking process
  • 🔒 Button fly may be annoying for some users
  • 💪 No give in the waist, which may be uncomfortable until broken in

Should I Buy It?

If you’re looking for a pair of jeans that will last for years and are willing to invest the time to break them in for a custom fit, the Levi's 501 Shrink to Fit jeans come highly recommended. However, if you prefer a more instantly comfortable fit right off the shelf or dislike button flies, you may want to consider other options.


  • The last gasp of Levi’s 501 jeans
Special Size: Standard Size: 31W x 32L Color: (New) Dark Stonewash
I paid $80 for these, because Levis has discontinued them (or at least the versions I wanted), one of my favorite jeans! I have probably bought 10 pairs over the last few years. They fit me right. I hate it that I finally find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly, they inevitably cancel it. Well, I can fit other brands of jeans! The loss is all theirs. PS: The rating is for the jeans, the review is about the cancellation. ... show more

  • Real Levi's 501 Quality. Still the Best Value and Personal Fit in denim.
Special Size: Standard Size: 35W x 36L Color: Rigid
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. ... show more

  • First pair of blue jeans I really loved.
Special Size: Standard Size: 30W x 30L Color: (New) Medium Stonewash
I really love the straight-leg fit of these jeans. After moving out of a tight-jean, indie phase, I wondered what would be my go-to brand. For a guy with long legs and a shorter (but not short) torso, these fit like a glove. The button fly is annoying but looks great! Worth it, to me. Felt like it was tight in the right places and still left enough to the imagination to be a flattering fit. I did find that the waist size should be minded. These jeans have no give but that's a part of their sturdy charm. Definitely worth the try, at least. ... show more

  • Perfect fit, real denim
Special Size: Standard Size: 32W x 32L Color: (New) Medium Stonewash
Always the same, perfect fit even 30 years later. Real denim, no spandex or other additives to make these weak and non fitting. Some things are worth the extra money. This is one.
