501 Levi's are still the best! I felt like a kid again when slipping into these fantastic jeans. The fit is the same as ever ~ unlike any others. At Zappos great price we bot 3 pairs!

Fit just right. They're very comfortable, easy to button and unbutton, and I really like the green color.

I bought these Levis for my boyfriend and he looks great in them. They are also a perfect fit! Zappos sent them out very quickly!

I as a customer definitely suggest that these Levis are a great selection as far as the unique color red and the way they perfectly fit.

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.

Ok, so I needed a pair of white pants to attend a birthday party where we all had to wear white. Who has white pants? Zappos has everything...Pants are Levi's and were exactly what I expected.

Unfortunately, the quality of denim has fallen off greatly for Levi's. For the price, I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. The 501 is a very straight leg with little extra room in the thigh/crotch. I'm an average build at 5'10" and 185 lbs, and I've already split the crotch on a pair that was less than a year old while stepping up into my truck.

Love these jeans. They are the classics that I remember from my teen years. This is the color. Always feel so good in them.

501 Jeans are great jeans when they fit and are sized properly. I've always worn Levis but why is it now such a gamble on quality and size consistency? It seems Levis quality control has well and truly gone out the window. The fit on these rinse blue 501 jeans was terrible, they were not even cut like 501's. The fit was inconsistent with two other pairs I bought recently in exactly the same size. These previous pairs I bought were made in Mexico and fit like classic 501 style and cut however the pair I just returned were made in Egypt were ill fitting and look nothing like a 501 fit. It's great that Zappos has free shipping on returned items but why should I have to waste all this time buying and returning a badly sized and manufactured product?

These 501s were for my wife. She has been wearing the same size 501s 29W 32L for over 50 years. The price at Zappos was lower than at any stores around here. And the delivery was sooner than expected, great service thanks.

Button fly jeans, are one of the best jeans that I ever wore, they are very durable and tough. I would recommend these to all my friends & family.

Too tight! I'm a skinny guy, but I can hardly squat or lift my legs in these! Levi's, what are you doing?! I'll be buying a different brand from now on.

I'm wearing these right now, and they're much closer to the jeans I remember from the "old days" than most of what you can find today. Unfortunately, they're on the short side for me. I wish Levi's made them in size 28 x 34!

Ah, the classic 501s. This is a good color. Not too dark. Not too light. The denim is heavy, which is reassuring because they'll last a long time. My only legit complaint is that they are too long, where as when I order the same size in in any other style of Levi's the jeans fit. This has more to do with Levi's inconsistency than Zappos. Note: Levi's styles are different depending on where you purchase. 501s from Levi's website are slightly different cut than Levi's from, say, Macy's. And that cut is slightly different from what you get at, say Levi's Outlet stores. There is a hierarchy to the whole chain of retail. I'm not sure where Zappos is in that chain, but it seems pretty high, b/c I'm almost always pleased with what I get. Same goes for many other goods, btw.

Great Levi's 501s in a bright white with copper rivets. Levi's jeans are unsurpassed for style, comfort and fit. The overall styling including the traditional Levi's pockets make these jeans look super great.

These are the only brand and type of jeans my husband will wear. He is a big and tall size and the size was available at a very reasonable price as well; priced less than any others, including Levi.com.

The product is great (I buy men's 501 button-fly because no one seems to carry the equivalent for women). But the service is a-may-zing. I ordered yesterday. The product arrived today. How did you do that?

501's are classic for a reason. These have an updated rinse, yet are not the prohibitive hipster/narrow cut. Bought for my pretty preppy/hockey-build hubs. Very good fit. He liked darker rinse too. A little 'dressier' if you want. Flattering fit for almost everyone, including women - I've been wearing 501's for 25 years. Well done. 4 stars because Levi's aren't made in the USA.

I shop Zappos because they carry a variety of sizes, they realize everyone is not a size 10 and 110 pounds. I will never shop anywhere else. Thanks Zappos!

Good fitting jean...once I got the right size. I had to go smaller and shorter than khakis. I purchased other colors,as well which fit well. As the "optic white" is very white, I haven't had the occasion to wear them yet!

Levi's -- they speak for themselves. My husband wears them to work every day and we have found the best place to get them is at Zappos. Easy, to your door, no problems. Thanks Zappos!

These new 501's do not feel like 501's, something is off in the waist, they feel like a low rise jean, almost like a hip hugger. Way too tight in the crotch. The other thing is the belt loops, classic 17 oz 501's have 7 loops, these only have 5. I've been wearing 501's since high school, almost 30 years now and whatever Levis has done to the waist needs to be undone. Hate to move on to 505's because I love the button fly but I just may have to.

Great pair of jeans. I love the 501 fit. I was concerned the color would be blinding white but it's actually the perfect shade of white. A little roomy in the waste but I am assuming that's to account for shrinkage.
