A study pair of 501 Levi’s is hard to beat.
Special Size: Standard Size: 32W x 36L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
Durable and a good fit. It’s hard to beat a well priced pair of 501s!

Original 501

I needed some new jeans and always buy Levi’s. 501’s are my favorite.

Fun experiment for Women
Special Size: Standard Size: 35W x 30L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
Prices of jeans in the raw can really run some bucks, and 99% are made for men anyway. I am a CoH Womens size 31 or 32 and I tried the 35x30. In the end they came out pretty darn close to the Charlotte cut in form. I washed them in cold water to get the "factory out" right away. I did find a metal rack around the house that was the waist size I wanted( I got this idea from a blogger that went with "stretch to fit"). Indeed even going up from my initial 34 waist order, the 35's were not 2 inches too big at the waist(more like 1") but everything else was huge so I took the chance on working with them. So after washing, while still wet I inserted the metal oven rack which was now very tight. Even in COLD water these will start their transformation, so beware. Everything else fit to a T after hang drying to damp. Now it's a little "stretch" to fit on the waistband. I am surprised for a mens sized jean the waist is a bit "pinched", but I won't have any gaps in the back! Now,I have a pair of cropped straight leg (black) jeans that fit pretty great as long as I don't wash them carelessly. So watch the waist size and beware even cold water will tighten them up. ... show more

So far so good!
Special Size: Standard Size: 33W x 36L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
I bought 2 pairs of 501 STF black 33x36. These are the first shrink-to-fit 501's I've bought since I was a kid, so wasn't sure what to expect. I haven't worn them yet; only briefly tried them on before and after the first wash. My plan is to wash them 2 or 3 times before wearing. Washing - I marked one pair by trimming corners off the label; those will be my dress jeans that I will always wash inside out - and hope to rarely (if ever) have to wash them. The other pair I will wear several times a week and expect to have to wash them a lot (and I won't turn them inside out to wash as I want the washed look on these). I ride horses daily and they'll get filled with dirt and sweat quickly. It will be interesting to see how the wear compares over the years. Size - I normally wear 32x32 (non STF), which fit on me a bit short and a bit tight. So I ordered 33x36 as per the Levis guidelines. I tried them on un-washed, and indeed they were large on the waist and very long. I washed them in warm water, heavy-duty wash with regular soil settings on my washer, and then dried on hot. Tried them on again and they had shrunk a LOT. Pretty much perfect; hope they don't shrink much more. I am washing them the second time now; not sure if I'll do a 3rd. Color - A nice dark black, I like it, although it isn't a super deep pitch black...at some angles it almost looks a deep dark dark blue. It has a slight washed look even before the first wash (I can see light/white threads, which I like). Material - Softer than I expected even before washing; I like it although based on some of the reviews I was expecting them to be heavier and stiffer. I will update after I've worn them a few times - very happy so far though. ... show more

Sizing depends on how you wash them
Special Size: Standard Size: 36W x 30L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
These are my new favorite jeans. I own a pair of 505’s and 501’s already, but these fit and look amazing. There are detailed instructions on how to wash and dry them on the Levi’s website. I chose the size I normally purchase and they shrunk up an inch in the waist and length, washing them separately in cold water and drying them on a low setting. I’m 5’9” and 175 lbs with an athletic build. The 36x30 worked out great for me as I probably need a 35” waist and I prefer the length to be on the cusp of high water, since I wear them with boots. The black waterless color style is slightly rigid and has a bit of a speckled appearance, not a solid black like my stretch 501’s. Shrink to fit jeans are definitely going to be the new norm for my denim wardrobe. ... show more

It's unbelievable that this happened to a Levi's
Special Size: Standard Size: 33W x 30L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
The pants shrank by a lot when I washed them. I bought two pairs, one blue and one black… the black shrinked to at less one size smaller after washing. Therefore I lost the pair since it doesn’t fit me anymore.

Not great but not terrible.
Special Size: Standard Size: 44W x 30L Color: Black Stf (Stretch)
Honestly for the price I was expecting better quality. These are the thinnest, stiffest jeans I have owned. The stitch work is poor and overall quality is lacking. Definitely not the old school reliable Levi’s I remember. On the positive side they do look pretty sleek and nice in person. No telling how long they will hold up though. Overall they are ok but doubt I will order again. ... show more
