No longer need the retail stores that never have my size. Zappos is all I need. Super fast shipping.

I am wearing these jeans right now and I have to say they\'re comfortable. They might be the same style I wore 25 years ago that have come back to haunt me. I like to pair them with a nice button-up shirt so that I\'m not so rough. They do ride low on the hips and that\'s alright.

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!

These are awesome! We had searched for white Levis for some time. They fit beautifully and are exactly what we were looking for.

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".

I'd been looking for the right black jeans (ie. not skinny jeans and not those faded ones that aren't black but are really gray) for a while, and these are definitely them. They fit well, but are the tiniest bit on the tighter side. I got a 34x32 and ended up exchanging for a 35x32. Those fit great. Zappos is amazing. Fast free shipping and very easy returns. Very happy with their customer service! The whole process couldn't have been easier.

I've been wearing Shrink-to-fit 501's since the '80s. My size (28-32) is very difficult to find, so online is the only way to go. They do shrink about 2 inches at the waist and 2-3 in length after first wash and dry, so order accordingly. (The pre-shrunk version the length doesn't shrink all that much, but the waist does 1-2 inches.)

Please don't spend a lot on super-fancy designer denim. Buy a pair of STF 501s, put them on, soak in the tub for 45 minutes, let them dry, and then take them to a tailor to have the side seams down the legs taken in just a tiny smidge. You'll have the exact same fit as jeans that cost 10x as much, but you'll pay less plus maybe a little extra for the tailoring. And they last a long time.

They never change, same as the first pair I bought 25 years ago only with a bigger waist size. Great wearing, long lasting and forever fashionable. These jeans are just classic.

Sizes run a bit small, so buy one size larger than you usually order. Great jeans, great fit, exceptional service!

My husband can never find this size and selection in the department stores. This is the only place we will order from now on! He is slim, 6'2 and needs the 36 inseam.

This was my first order it went very well. I was looking for a size that not many retailers carry anymore. Zappos had it I got great customer service. Who would of known all of a sudden retail stores time to time stop carry a certain size a jeans. I will order from Zappos again.

Love the fit and look of the jeans, but getting the fit just right does take some trial and error. My experience has been that most of the shrinkage is in the length. I do get them 4 inches too long, but I've had the best luck when I've bought my normal waist size and then line dried or tumble dried (no heat) the jeans.

For the price, with free shipping, this product couldn\'t be beat. I needed it as part of a uniform, and this was by far the best deal. Great pair of nice white pants, good fit, fast shipping.
