Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 501® Original

My husband has worn these for years. Wear well and nice that Zappos has a good selection.

These look great - My 16 year old son loves that he's got a pair of 'originals.'

Overall quality pair of jeans. The color lasts over multiple washings. The Buttom Fly was a little awkward at first, but eventually I got used to it. I will buy another pair at some point.

My husband is a die hard fan of Levi's 501 and no matter what I say or suggest he will always want a pair, for rainy days :) We ordered Dark Stonewash and received Medium Stonewash, and hated thw color right out of the box. But when he tried them on, those Medium Stonewash didn't look too bad on him so we decided to keep them. For those Zappos employees out there reading reviews -- please be careful when sending out jeans with similar color names. All in all, great classic jeans we've grown to love over the past 30 years :)

First of all wanted to say how awesome Zappos customer service is. First time using them and very impressed. I ordered a 32 x 34 fit really snug. A little too snug for my taste. Didn't know how much they would break in or how much they would shrink when I would wash them. So I had an exchange for a 34 x 34 and it was too loose. Finally had it exchanged for a 33 x 34 and it was perfect. Super comfy, not too snug and easy to put on, fit and wear. If they do shrink with a wash I would still be fine. For reference I'm 6'2" and 165 lbs. Slim build.

Excellent jeans. Fit is perfect (I've had a pair or two of 501s that were a bit too baggy). Also these have 7 belt loops instead of 5, so your belt doesn't ride up over the back of your hips like some. These have the stretch fabric, which I was a bit worried would come across like chuck Norris action jeans, but overall you don't notice any difference. Just a bit more comfy when your other 501s might bind up when you are reenacting West Side Story dance fights or Mods vs Rockers seaside brawls. These pants have been there before and captured the lessons learned!

Levi's 501 are the only jeans I wear. I love the fit and the button fly. The Lincoln Park "color" is really great if you are looking for a lived in style with a few holes and all. They are very soft. I really like the look, but in the end it just wasn't right for me.

This is for the Dark Charcoal Garment Dye. Same great fit as always. The material on this one is definitely thinner than normal however. Also, the color has a definite greenish blue tinge to it, not straight gray. So the outfit looks funny when matched with shirts on the blue or green spectrum.

My boyfriend only wears this style and everything was as normal... Great!

Great jeans. They last forever and fit like they are supposed to.

I've been wearing Levis 501s for years and the cut works well for my body shape. I always choose a stone washed or black because they are 100% cotton and have a classic look. Some of the 501s & 505s have spandex in them and a completely different feel to the fabric. The black 501s are very flattering but I have to wash them very gently so they don't lose their nice crisp black. I do have to say the 501 black jeans seem to be cut smaller than the 501 stonewashed blue. Also the fabric is different than the stone washed blues. It is lighter weight and has a polished texture but I don't have a problem with this. To me they look a little "dressier".

These are a classic. They were a Christmas gift for my son.

Just what I ordered at a lower price than I could buy locally. Levi's original line holds up better than the cheaper Levi Signature line found in discount stores.

Perfect, super comfortable, not baggy, not slim. Fit is true to size. I like how it doesn't have a low cut. My only complaint is the button fly--it works fine, I just prefer a zipper. The light stonewash is perfect for that normcore, dad-bod style that I needed in my life.

Jeans were a great deal, but did not realize they were button fly. Looked a little cheap, but hey- for the price it's worth it.

Great fit. I'm 6'1", 195 lbs with an athletic build and the 36 waist/32 inseam fit perfectly.

Levi's 501 are the best. Durable and consistent fit. Never need to look for anything else

Felt a size small. I didn't really like the color either.

The Levi's 501 needs no introduction, unchanged for as long as I've been alive. I'm here for the 100 reward points.

These are the gold standard, the everyday, walkabout, go-to-work-or-go-to-dinner, wear-right jeans. They fit right, look right, and pretty much do the right thing in any situation. Buy these if you want fulfillment in life.
