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.

  • Are they Real Levi's...or not? Jeans haul review!
Special Size: Standard Size: 31W x 32L Color: Rigid
A Jean in Name Only? I ordered several pairs & sizes, hoping a couple would pan out and be - Real Levi's. (Not a review for "skinny" or tight fitting legged jeans, just standard pants-jeans) Here is what occurred: You can't fully review 501's right out of the bag (due to the need to do the shrink-to-fit wash first). I noticed that both pairs were made in different places - one pair from MEXICO, one pair from EGYPT. Both seemed to be the same lightness in weight and stiffness of fabric, and were a medium grey-blue. Yuck. They felt like paper; super thin (tear risk?) and weightless...and a morose grey-blue. They resembled nothing I would associate with the heavy, strong, lush indigo of the 501's I used to easily be able to find and buy at a mid $40 price point. 501's of former decades were deeply indigo, shrink-to-fit and would become soft, strong, durable and glove-like to wear. I wondered, after receiving these, if such jeans even existed anymore. After reading favorable reviews at (a dept. store that rhymes with Jaycie's), I decided to order my 501's through them instead, since they actually pay attention to the *quality* of product they sell - whereas Amzn is rife with counterfeit issues and sellers trying to offload junk merch. I returned both pairs of 501's I got thru Amzn. They were a bad counterfeit of themselves and the Levi's 501 label shouldn't be on them At All and is for people who don't know what real jeans were/felt like in decades prior. The other three pairs were ordered in different colors of fade styles - indigo dk stonewash, medium stonewash and light stonewash 505's. Two of the three pair were made in MEXICO - the light and medium - and one of the legs on the light was a bit longer than the other. Mostly, they were stiff and almost what I would call paper-thin. Chinos have more body than that! Basically, they were junk, so I returned those, too. The last pair in the box was the dark stonewash 505's. As soon as I picked up the jeans in their plastic bag, I could tell these jeans were different. Even in the bag, I could tell by the weight, drape, indigo color and softness that these were like the Real Levi's I had purchased years ago. They were manufactured in .......wait for it......BANGLADESH. Keeping these. If you remember or experienced real jeans and real Levi's/501's, you know what Levi's are supposed to be and feel like. There are differences in quality and origin now on each pair of Levi's "jeans" that are - literally and figuratively - all over the map. Whether the dark stonewash will hold up as well as last pair remains to be seen, but I would get another pair of these without hesitation, though only from a walk-in-and-feel-them myself department store from now on. So, it will be interesting to see where "those" (dept. store) 501's were made when they get here. My faves/former 501's were made in HAITI......a decade ago; I suspect the new dept. store 501's will be from Egypt.....but I Expect Actual Authentic 501's from them, not paper-thin, junky, counterfeit product - the dept. store reviews didn't mention bad quality for 501's! UPDATE! Received the 501's from the dept. store. They were made in EGYPT but look different than the dark grey blue of the Amzn ones. These look and feel "more" like Real 501's, but my old/faded 501's still outweigh them. The weight of the denim is still Much thinner than they used to be (built-in obsolescence to force more sales). The 505's dark stonewash I just got are FAR heavier in weight. The newer 501's can be termed 501 - 2.0, as they are still about chino weight right out of the bag. Holding them in one hand, they weigh like fluff. The 505's are legit heavy and this pair has ALL the Levi authenticity paraphernalia - the label on the inside pocket is crisply lettered; rivets are copper on both sides. The other Levi's jeans numbers being sold report bad quality all around; this has been a problem with Levi's for a decade now. If you have to have your olde 501's, try that dept. store avenue mentioned, where you can feel their quality and return them if they don't pan out. Bottom line seems to be that Levi's as a brand and product is no longer legit Levi's but a cheap, sold-out, profit-driven company that no longer gives a dang about quality almost at all. As such, their "jeans" are embarassingly low quality and the weight of the product should no longer qualify them to be jeans at all. They feel like, even newish, they could tear on you in a second...and unflatteringly, at that! On the Levi's site, a pair of "vintage" (closer to real?) 501's is $285 a pair. On EBAY, they go for hundreds of dollars, too. A good alternative to this brand, since they don't seem to be loyal to their own flagship product (??!!), is a brand that rhymes with dangler or a brand that isn't just producing junk. (This site keeps changing these names to prevent you from getting the info, but I will keep editing until the full truth is known!) So now we know (more). Only 505's from my haul & dept store made the grade. I am keeping the 501's from the dept store for nostalgia, but it seems like Levi's has all but phased out....well, Levi's....at least what we call Levi's, or used to. I suggest shopping for jeans in person to gauge the weight and color of the product offered, always be able to return them if they fail, and if you find a good brand making legit, heavy jeans, stock up while you can. Levi's has bailed on the quality and weight of their iconic flagship product. I am shopping elsewhere for a brand that stands behind it's products and whose product can stand up to the necessary rigors of being called a Jean! Caveat Emptor! WEAR CLEAN UNDERWEAR! These current-era jeans feel like a potential rip hazard at any time. Would never have thought (or occurred!) a pair of Levi's would tear out on you on a "day out," like way into Disneyland or deep into a big-day convention/excursion, but these feel like they would and would leave you hanging out (ummm, literally) without hesitation or solution. I will never wear these new-era pairs without wearing (cotton) bike shorts underneath and/or carrying a back-up pair of pants or shorts! They DO have that creepy "I could fully tear out at any moment" feel to the jeans fabric now. I wouldn't even call that a pair of jeans at all; you could build roads without worry in former-Levi's! UPDATE: I washed both pairs - the 505's and 501's. The 501's are still very thin and almost paper-weight. I don't expect they will last long, and will probably have to use legit denim to patch/repair them to not just have wasted the cost buying them at all. I assume the cost of making the authentic indigo 501's became too costly, driving up the prices consumers say they'd rather pay but really wouldn't - and here's why. Most bought 501's because you could buy them affordably (they were comfortably priced), dig ditches during the day and dress them up for dinner at night - yes, after a wash, the Same Pair! They were amazing. Now, if the same pair were $120 instead of $40, you'd be a lot less likely to wear those in ditch digging - or any practical, workhorse task and and more likely to reserved them for rare-wear due to their cost/availability...and this would result in less sales. The prices of 501's now discounted at $60 for the paper-thin non-indigo "jeans" probably means the prices would be around $100 a pair...and that would give buyers pause. Basically, the 501's are historic; these are nothing like those were and I won't buy another pair of Levi's 501's. The 505's are slightly heavier after the wash, still, and still indigo. I might buy another pair someday. However, they are still wayyyyy thinner than the 501's or 505's I bought 10 years ago. The 501's still have the button-fly I prefer, otherwise they'd get no stars. The 505's get 3 stars for a heavier weight, softer and more authentic fabric/feel, and their indigo authentic color. Well, this has been a denim learning experience! Good luck and shop Very Cautiously, 'cuz they just don't make jeans - or much else - like they used to! ... show more

  • Comfortable, fits great, cool color
Special Size: Standard Size: 42W x 30L Color: (New) All Wasabi
The 501 Original Fit in All Wasabi (00501-3401) is a unique and interesting color choice for jeans. I've had Levi's 501 for decades and over the years have gone through the sizes from 28 through 42 and they've always felt right. I now have a large midsection so I size for my waist. I went with 42Wx30L for this pair and the fit is good. The pants measure just about 42.5" at the waist and are an exact fit for me. These have a 13.25" front rise which brings the pants waist to my actual waist which is how 501s are supposed to be worn. The inseam on this pair measures at 30.125" which brings the pants to a full break over my shoes. These 501s are a very comfortable fit for me. Because I sized for my waist they feel more like a relaxed/loose pair which is fine, though I have thick thighs from my gym days so above the knee these are comfortable but not baggy. I do also wear boots sometimes so the 9.125" leg opening is ok. I'm happy with these pants, they fit me fine and the color is different from others in my wardrobe. The waist and inseam sizing given by Levi's is pretty accurate. I think those complaining about sizing on these don't measure at their true waist and compare the size to other pants that are mid- or low- rise. 501s have a full rise and are worn at the waist. Measure yourself at that and you can get a good fit from Levi's. ... show more

  • Amazing fit; but the "black" isn't ideal
Special Size: Standard Size: 36W x 30L Color: Black Stf
If you ever owned shrink-to-fit 501's, you know why it's hard to settle for anything else. I had Levi's last a decade of wear, including countless days doing manual labor and they held up great. I had a pair of the stretchy kind and they last like a few months before they started to fall apart. These are what you want, very good quality. Just be careful if you get the black pair; it's not as black as you think. The one on the right is the standard "black" you get out the box, the one on the left is one I used Rit Dye to darken. I used one whole bottle and am happy with the results. ... show more

  • Went retro
Special Size: Standard Size: 35W x 32L Color: Listless
Been wearing jeans all my life & love them. Different brands/styles/colors & thought I go retro to 501s button fly. No one else makes mens button fly at affordable prices (that I found). So back to my (YOU-T) with 501s. My only minor disappointments are 1. Label is faux leather. 2. The buttons below 1st waste button are smaller. It has been a few years but seems that previous jeans were easier to button. Is/was it the button size? Don't know. Love them just the same. ... show more

  • Come On, They're Levi's
Special Size: Big & Tall Size: 38W x 36L Color: Medium Stonewash
Levi's is Levi's is Levi's. I've been wearing them since, uh, 1962 or '63 and the biggest problem I have is button fly or zipper (I lean to button but do both). You find what works for you and you buy that. I will say my last batch of Levi's (before this,) didn't last as long as the belt loops gave up prematurely. ... show more

  • Not yet sure yet.
Special Size: Standard Size: 31W x 30L Color: Light Stonewash
Husband hasn’t worn yet. After washing & hanging them up I noticed one pair doesn’t have the Levi’s on the little red tag. It doesn’t really matter, but I’m wondering why ?

  • Buttons, not a zipper
Special Size: Big & Tall Size: 56W x 30L Color: Dark Stonewash
Was surprised when I saw they have buttons, was listed in the ad as buttons, just didn't see it. Wore button jeans in the 70s, but these are hidden. No problems getting used to them and they fit well, even me, 56 x 30.

  • Size 35 jeans

Fit and look fine. I wanted a waist size 35 and it was true to size. Not crazy about a button fly but will deal with it.
