Product 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 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.

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.

The Levi's Men's 501 Original Fit Jeans have quickly become a go-to in my wardrobe. Even though I don't typically invest a lot in clothes, these jeans have proven to be a solid choice. They offer a timeless style with a fit that is both comfortable and reliable for everyday wear.

One thing I appreciate is how well these jeans hold up through repeated washes and wears. The denim feels robust, and the color remains vibrant, which is a big plus. The button-fly design is a classic touch, adding to the overall appeal.

A small note is that the sizing can sometimes be a bit inconsistent, so trying on a couple of pairs might be necessary to get the perfect fit.

For anyone looking for dependable and stylish jeans that don't require a huge investment, the Levi's 501 Original Fit is a fantastic option. They've consistently delivered in terms of comfort and durability, making them an excellent choice for anyone.

Love the jeans, fit exactly as expected. Levi jeans tend to be a little snug on me so I ordered a waist size higher because these are 100% cotton and I knew they would shrink. Fit is very comfortable and will get even better with each wear and washing. Good value and material is nice quality.
Mine were made in Egypt. Can’t find jeans made in USA anymore.

I love the look and fit of these white jeans. They fit and ride the waist exactly as advertised. I probably didn't read the listing carefully enough and was surprised to find that they are button fly. This really isn't an issue but wanted to point that out as I missed it.

Size is correct, fit is good and it looks to be all Levi original seems. Ok so these jeans are not gonna fit me like they did in high school. 😔 but until Amazon sells a Time Machine, these are 501 button fly.

I ordered these in 38L 32W. I usually wear 36L 32W but wanted a larger waste for tucking in winter shirts. I also expected some shrinkage. These fit great, but they are slightly big in the waist. I have 2 pairs of these and 1 pair of 36W 32L. Sometimes the 36W 32L's are a bit small in the waist. So I'm happy with the size. The length is perfect for me after shrinkage, unlike my 505's which are always too long. I think I'll stick with 501's instead of 505's from now on. I ordered these from Amazon, because none of the local stores had my size.
Update, ordered another black pair and a stone washed pair. Recent 501s seem to run larger than my old pairs. TheY don't shrink as much either, so maybe 36 waist would be better than 38 next time. But the 501s still fit better than 505s or 514s if you can't try them on before buying them.
