These fit well and look great. The wash is very true to what's shown in the photos.
Something to consider is that due to the treatment of this particular denim style these jeans catch lint pretty easily. It's not quite as bad after washing but you'll definitely notice it in your first wear. It's not too bad and a lint brush takes care of it, just wanted to mention it in case that's a dealbreaker for somebody.

I looked everywhere for a pair of white levi\'s in my size, and could not fine them, until I went to Zappos.com. There they were, exactly what I wanted. Free shipping both ways was the motivating factor. Execellent service Zappos. I will do all my shopping on your site first here forward.\r\n

These "Rinse" color 501s are way smaller than the lighter colors of the same size. I went into Macy's to try on a bunch of 501s and what I found is that the sizing is completely inconsistent. Moral of the story: be prepared to try on lots of pairs of 501s before you find the one that fits you (and don't trust the sizing information). Otherwise, jeans look slick and hip, yo.

These are my go-to jeans. I wear them pretty much all the time for work, school, commuting on my bicycle. They are durable, comfortable, and contribute to my overall relaxed demeanor. They are not the most stylish thing to wear, that's why I give em four stars, for me though they are perfect. I always have at least one pair, and they last me about a year each, give or take.

I only buy these, since they work for me so well. If it ain\'t broke... though I do like 511s for a more styled look.

If you like crispy hard jeans, like we wore in the early eighties, these jeans are it. They fit snugged after a wash.

Great jeans. They run small so they fit snug. They feel solid, yet soft. Definitely a pair of jeans that will last and look good.

Good fit. They're the real deal. I was going to purchase them from Amazon's site but people were complaining about the possibility of them being knock-offs. These from Zappos have the fit, finish, and materials of the genuine article. Delivery was super fast.

On my 4th pair... nice rigid denim that won't stretch out and sag so much as regular unwashed denim. I would size up up to one size in the waist (if you have skinnier hips you can get away with sticking with your natural waist size) and 2 inches in length. Great color wash after wash. I just soak them in hot soapy water for perhaps a half hour, and then slip then on wet until they are dry. I wouldn't ever put them in the dryer unless you require maximum shrinkage, other than that your guaranteed a great fit and without the high maintenance of designer raw denim. They're 501s; iconic.

I usually buy Levi's from Sears but I have had some bad experiences lately. When I saw Zappos sold them I jumped to buy them. They are Levi originals, priced well and the shipping is amazing. I would definitely buy again.

I typically wear 30x30, ordered 31x32 shrink-to-fit and after a standard wash and dry cycle, they fit perfect and are soft and comfy.

Great jeans. I like mine to fit loose, so I sized up 4 inches in the waist, and 2 inches in length. Perfect. And, as always, Zappos is #1 in service and selection.

Women take note! I used to wear the Women's 501s -- which are no longer made -- and everything else I tried on to get the same fit failed. I even tried a pair of the men's 501 in a 30W, thinking the 30W was the smallest waist Levi's made, and I swum in those. They kept falling down. Then I discovered that Levi's makes a 28W and a 29W: hooray! Levi's did not have the 28 or 29 on their website, but Zappos did! I rushed to order 4 different sizes to try, and kept the 28W30, that fit perfectly. Warning: if you're curvy the men's 501s will not fit, but if you are fairly boyishly built, like me--duh--they will fit well. For those who miss the women's 501s, do not despair. The 501s still live, thanks to Zappos, who carries every size 501 in the world!

Levi\'s always make the best jeans for the best price and this is no exception. Looks great but took a while to break in.

Levi's have always been my favorite jeans brand. They always fit as if they were tailored for my body, and this one wasn't the exception. Perfect fit, extreme comfort and durability make me come back for them again and again. They're not the cheapest, but are worth every penny, for the years you'll wear them.

My boyfriend got these and he loves they way they fit, not like those skinny jeans everyone is wearing now. Perfect fit! Thank you Zappos for having long sizes because my boyfriend is tall!

I really like these jeans and have a few pairs. I've only had them for a month, but so far I've been satisfied. The only downside I would say for shrink-to-fits is that you really have to know what works best for you otherwise you're going to get something too big or too small. Luckily for me I got something slightly too big so they're still manageable with the right outfit. I know they'll shrink a little more through the laundry, but I'm satisfied with wear they are now. Haha, get it? Wear? Where? Just kidding. Enjoy the denim!

I love these jeans. The color looks great. Did a bathtub soak (with me in it) to shrink my jeans down. Zappos was on point with shipping and the customer service was amazing.

The tried and true 501's...these are the jeans I started wearing as a kid and while I followed trends from baggy to bootcut then slim fit, I finally came back to these and I think I'll stick with them since they won't go out of style. The 501's pre-shrunk are spot on in terms of fit and there is no extra waist room like other jeans. A 34" waist measures exactly 34".
