Exactly what I wanted at an incredibly low price. Other sites were selling the same jeans at twice what I paid here. Arrived in a few days even after choosing standard shipping. Will definitely buy again!

Great service. No pain in ordering, fast delivery and when I got the size wrong -- before I could turn around three times -- the switch was made. Perfect for those who hate to shop - me - or for those who love to shop - my kids.

The great fit I expected from the 80s. Delivered as I've come to expect from Zappos. On time, as agreed.

Pants were exactly as ordered. A little upset that order could not be modified immediately after hitting the submit order and contacting customer service. But very pleased with the fast shipping and the price.

A+. I ordered this product on a weekday evening and received it the next day...can't get any better customer service than that! Wish all companies would take note. Right price, right color=best purchase.

My son loves these jeans (since he's an old school cowboy). Zappos is the cheapest and most consistent place we buy these jeans. Thanks Zappos!

Zappos was fast, easy, and free on shipping. My order was placed in plenty of time for Christmas delivery to Montana...but I had my address forwarded when I left for California. The PO in Troy forwarded it to California, and all was fine. I will definitely use Zappos again.

Big time shrinkage! I wore them once, washed in cold water, and used light heat in the dryer, and they came out so small I can never wear them again. I will not buy again.

These jeans are great except for one detail: Adding one inch to the waist is not enough. I suggest adding at least 2" to the waist and the recommended 3" to the inseam. I normally wear a 32/32 or a 33/32 Levi's jean, which are a little bit long but a 30 inseam is much too short. I ordered these shrink-to-fit 501s in a 34/34. The length is perfect -- probably just over 31". The waist, however, is very tight, even tighter than a normal 32" waist jean. Fit aside, these jeans are great. The 501 shape is classic -- not too baggy, not too tight. The indigo dye, gold stitching, and red label are old-school but not old-man. The jeans are very cool, I just wish the waist fit was better.

Actually I had three different unusal sizes of jeans to order for Christmas. I was able to get exactly the size and color in Levi's. The Price was good, service outstanding. I will do a lot more shopping at Zappos.

The product is fine but Zappos' customer service is fantastic! Zappos' price was equal or lower than any other vendor plus shipping was free and they would pay for shipping to return the item if needed. And they have a sense of humor!

I bought the jeans for my son who wears an odd size. The jeans fit great and the length was perfect! Can't say enough about the super shipping service.

I could not find 511 Levis to fit my 13 year old son in any local stores. I Googled and found Zappos, bought him the size he wanted and ended up getting me two pair of 501 (Black and Sand Shrink to Fit). I returned my son's (too skinny) Now they have the size he wants to try, so will place an order in the next day or so. Zappos is a great place to shop with very fast delivery!

The cut and hardware is as I remembered from 30 years ago, but the fabric is different; hard-to-describe-different; don't get your hopes up that it's the same product from the 1980's.

My tall teen son needs very long unwashed 501s and Zappos offers 40 length! Great price and delivered standard cost in 2 days. I will not buy unwashed 501s anywhere else.

This is the size my husband wears which is hard to find. Our local store does not carry this size anymore and stated that they couldn't even order it. Thanks Zappos - very happy hubby now!

My son was very satisfied with his new Levi's. They arrived the day after my online order was put in. Thanks for being prompt and for having what I wanted in stock.

I brought these jeans for my son. He is 6'7" and it is hard to find inseam 38 for him. He loves the way they fit.

This was my first experience with Zappos. I had never heard of them, but I'm not an online shopper most of the time. The experience was fun. My package arrived quicker than expected and was exactly what I ordered, which was Levis 501 Jeans. Levis are a good brand, so I have no complaints.

This review is for the 501 Shrink-to-Fit jeans - not to be confused with the 501 Originals! These are sturdy jeans with sly, simple stylings and an unbeatable value. Surprisingly comfortable given their burly construction. Denim is a bit thicker than most jeans I've worn, and the stitching along the seams is super tight with no loose ends. I expect to be wearing these without holes or frayed ends for a long time to come. I also expect I'll never again pay 2-3 times as much for shoddily-constructed jeans from obscure or "designer" brands. One slight complaint: the black color is actually a really dark blue. This wasn't an error on Zappos part, just a less than accurate color description supplied by Levi's. I also knocked one star off because the Shrink-to-Fit is difficult to wash without causing severe shrinkage. If you read Zappos product description this shouldn't come as a total surprise, but I was initially dismayed by just how much shrinkage occurred during the first wash. I put the jeans in cold water on a gentle cycle for 15 minutes and had them in the dryer for another 15 on low heat. Fortunately, I pulled them out while still damp and was able to stretch the jeans almost back to their original size and shape. If you're thinking of buying these, you should definitely go up one full size from your preferred waist and inseam measurements. I also recommend looking at Levi's Shrink-to-Fit care guide on their web site. I'm 5'11" and 170 lbs, with long skinny legs. I'm a 32W in most jeans, but I bought these 501's with a 33W and 30 inseam. After a couple careful washes they now fit perfectly around my waist, but due to shrinkage, the length comes up just a tad short. I'll probably go with the 31 inseam next time. Big shout out to Zappos for their top notch service and free shipping! Seriously. I'm a practical guy on a budget who generally hates shopping. I don't believe in customer loyalty, and I don't write online product reviews. But here I am demonstrating both!

Levi Jeans are the best to me. I prefer the shrink to fit because I'm 6 foot and I like ample room at the cuff. Made with quality and they are just a classic. I highly recommend this product.
