Here's the deal and the different washes comes in different fabric weight (thickness). Some of the newer or trendier washes use thinner fabric. Zappos doesn't sell phony stuff, please. The heavyweight (12.5 oz) finishes include the stone washes, rinse. Medium-weight (~9 oz) includes Galindo and drainpipe. Check Levis.com to see the weight of each finish.

The wash looks a little outdated on these. Overall just a basic pair of jeans. Nothing great at all.

I am 6ft 1 and I have long legs. I bought the 36 waist and the 36 inseam and they fit me perfectly. In the past, I usually purchase baggier pants but I wanted some jeans more fitted. However, I will never wear skinny jeans...these jeans are great compromise. The price was exceptional and the style is on-point. I had these jeans when I was a teenager back in the late 80s. So to conclude, I will stick with the classic.

These are the ONLY jeans my son will wear and his size and colors of choice are impossible to find in a retail store. Zappos has provided prompt (if not same day) shipping and is my first choice when shopping for difficult to find name brands. Thanks Zappos!

Zappos' prices are competitive and their shipping is fast. I was very happy with my order of Levi's 501s and I would recommend Zappos as the source for any other buyer seeking the same.

Zappos is one of the few places that carries 501's in a good selection of sizes. Ordered one, got a confirmation that it was shipped and received my correct order in just a few days. Love ordering from Zappos!

I have a 6' 2" 15 year who weighs 130 lbs. Levi 501s were the only jeans we could find that have the small waist, long inseam and look like they fit. He loves them and is very happy with them.

I bought these jeans for my son. He is thin and has long legs and is 13 so I have a hard time finding jeans that will fit him in the young adult section. This year I said "screw it" I am ordering from the men's section. I love Zappos' next day shipments.

Been wearing button fly jeans since 1971. 501's are the only jean I'll wear now. They fit good and Zappos' price is better than most retail stores.

Lucky Brand and Levi's signature 501 Original Fit are (were) my favorites for fit and quality. As I find myself in need of replacing my worn out 501's, which has increased in frequency, the quality and durability that I had come to expect continues to decline. I am extremely disappointed in the trend of the Levi's brand, offering inferior products at premium prices. The cotton was even thinner and the belt loops narrower. Details and finish were sloppy and not as refined. They are definitely not worth paying full price and sale price is questionable. The time has come to dump Levi's and stick to the Lucky Brand. They are a little more expensive but you actually get what you pay for.

As is always the case with Zappos...the product is quality Levi. Fit and comfort are the idea of the day and true to form.

When first bought these jeans realized that it was my most favorite pair of jeans. Great quality, great fit and look of them is always good. Thanks Zappos for very fast delivery.

Tis is your classic pair of jeans. Fit is comfortable, but a bit rougher than jeans you're used to. I haven't tried shrinking mine yet, but apparently it's very easy to do, and makes amazing jeans.

I bought these jeans not realizing they were button up rather than fly. I don't know anyone who wears button up jeans. I've been buying and wearing jeans for 60 years and never ran across button up jeans before. I am quite disappointed.

Your classic Levi's pant without all the sizing issues. I've washed them twice in warm water and dried them on high heat and still no shrinkage. Size is true to fix.
