THE FIT WAS SPOT ON. ONLY AT ZAPPOS WERE WE ABLE TO FIND THIS SIZE SO READILY AVAILABLE. PRICE WAS GREAT AND THE FREE SHIPPING RETURNS INCLUDED WAS A PLUS. THE ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAD WAS WITH THE PRODUCT ITSELF. SEEMS THE LOWEST THREE BUTTON HOLES WERE SEWN A BIT TOO SMALL MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO INSERT THE BUTTON INTO. I COULD NOT DO IT AND MY HUSBAND STRUGGLED WITH IT. IN FACT HE ALMOST WAS GOING TO USE A SCREWDRIVER OR SOMETHING TO FORCE IT IN. HE FINALLY GOT IT AND WILL NEVER OPEN THE LOWER BUTTONS AGAIN IF POSSIBLE. OTHER THAN THAT WHICH WE HOPE WON'T BE A PROBLEM BUT ARE CONFIDENT THAT ZAPPOS WILL STAND BY THEIR WARRANTY.

Female. I bought this in 29/30. I did not wash them yet. I intend to not wash them until I really have to. They were comfortable on the 2nd day. Very cool look. Fit is perfect as I don't have much of a butt or waist. Will never go back to stretch or lycra.

With 501s, you know what you are getting fitwise. Need more colors such as brown or khaki.

Good, but not great. I have worn Levis since high school, and they have been great, until this year. I bought two pairs, and they were labeled about two sizes too small. Since the size I wear was not available, I got a refund. Fortunately, I found the correct size on Zappos, and they fit perfectly. However, despite fitting perfectly, the quality does not seem to be as good as normal, because the material is much thinner than all of the other pairs I have purchased over the last 50 years. Perhaps this is because Levis are now made all over the world. To steal a line from the movie, "My Cousin Vinny", "do the laws of physics cease to exist" in some parts of the world where Levis factories exist? :-)

Was looking to buy a pair of jeans. Its been almost 20 years since I owned a Levi’s. Especially a pair of 501. The jeans are still button fly which I was surprised by. The jeans are comfortable and look as shown. I tested out a few other brands and 501 fit the best. However, I need to wear it for a while as the jeans are quite stiff. Also, the jeans are quite thick and heavy compared to others which can be good and bad. In the end, I am a fan and a happy owner of the jeans.

They were a gift for my son. His first time with Levis. I have worn them forever. He absolutely loves the weight of the denim. They fit him perfectly. He asked for one and I got him two. He is very happy. I also wanted y'all to know that Amazon is selling 501s made from a thinner denim. That's how I was led to Zappos for the originals.

Bought as a gift, fits perfectly. Chose the Sey Stretch color but didn't notice the vertical "dirt" stripes when purchasing, and recipient thought there was a defect. He's keeping them but we were both surprised by the wash. Not sure why anyone would want jeans that look like they're dirty, but maybe it will fade with wear and not look quite so unwashed. Other than that, they're exactly as expected.

I almost gave up on Levi 501’s that I have been wearing all my life...the last pair were very thin and wore out in less than a year. These feel more like the ones I used to wear.

Levi's are more expensive, but they have a better ruggedness. A pair will last compared to some other cheaper brands.

Classic Levi's with button fly. They are not as well made as they used to be but quality had to be sacrificed to hit the right "price point." These jeans will not last like the older jeans - they are just thinner and not made as well so they have to be replaced more often but if you want the original 501's this is them.

I keep coming back to Levi's because they're extremely comfortable. These jeans are no different.

Great fit, true classic, nice color finish, great look. Only one problem, the seam at the bottom of the legs wants to curl up. I press them down after I take them out of the dryer but the next time I wash them it happens again. I have 4 pair and it is the same on all 4 pair.
