Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 501® Original

I have been wearing 501 for 40 years since the Millers' Outpost days. I know what I size I wear. I buy 29 x 32 since I usually can't find 29 x 34. I was so excited to find the 34 length! I bought two pairs. But these don't fit like the others I buy. Very long (overs my feet) and big in the body. I thought they might shrink (like the old days) so I wash one pair. No shrinking at all, and can only return the unwashed par. Be careful when buying these!

I love 501 levis, a unique classic. But this purchase upset me because the jeans I received turned out to have a crooked seam on my right leg. And since I live in Moscow, I did not return the product, it is not advisable.

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.

Levi's is such a disappointment! What have they done to their brand. These black jeans (31W x 34L) are constructed in more-or-less the traditional fashion but the fabric is no longer the traditional denim that I've counted on (I've ordered over the last couple years and gotten the same shoddy stuff, so I'm afraid the change may be permanent). Don't know about you, but I could pay a couple extra dollars (how much could it cost ?) for the fine old Levi's I used to love and live in.

I hate to give Levi's iconic 501s a low review, but the cut on these is not close to what I expected. The legs are very baggy. Not really a boot cut, just oversized legs without shape. Not a current style at all, so they'll end up in the back of the closet. I should have returned them, but cut the tag off too soon. Check the cut before you commit!

Arrived worn, no tags, no stickers and appeared to be used. Dirt on the end of the pants

Much smaller than expected fit

I usually wear 30/32, but those proved too long in this 501 version. 30/30 is perfect.

The image Zappos provided for the Levi's jeans I chose did not match what was shipped to me. I doublechecked the image to confirm that the jeans I wanted were the jeans I selected from the website. I returned it today, we'll see how that goes. Kinda lame that at this point in e-commerce this company can't get either shipping or matching the site image to the order. I need another pair of jeans, but it won't be coming from Zappos. g

I have a feeling these are either knock offs or seconds. These are nowhere near the same fit as my other 501s.

I'm a 33x34". My 501's that I have I love. Can't get enough of them. These are not 501's. They are super skinny in the thigh and the waist is at least 2" shy. My 33" waist 501's are actually a bit loose, but these I couldn't even button. Relabel these something different.

Waist size about 2" less than stated measurement and buttons are very difficult to button.

I bought a pair of 501's at a Levi's store in NYC over the weekend. Wanted the white too but they were out of my size, so I made the order through Zapppos. These are not cut the same as the other pair I bought. Way too big. There is no sizing consistency with outsourced manufacturing!

I bought two pairs of the Stone wash, one Light and one Dark. The Light Stone wash pair shrunk quite a bit after several washings. They are now very tight, and the inseam is 1.5" shorter. The other pair had minimal shrinkage.

Horrible fabric; shrunk 2" after washing; when washed the fabric stuck together and caused permanent wrinkles in the fabric which created lighter colored lines throughout. Same with another light tan pair I bought for my son. His regular blue 501s get holes in key pocket very easily. Terrible products will not buy Levis made in China any longer. Find domestically made jeans!

Beware: If you're looking for classic 80s jeans, this is it. They are that bright blue jean color, very straight leg, and they button up the crotch (no zipper)! Not what I was looking for.

I love Levi\'s pants! They are my favorite and I have been wearing this size for many, many years. The good news is the size hasn\'t changed. The bad news is the material they are using to make these pants are bad, bad, bad. I wouldn\'t buy another and if I wear them to work, I think about who I might meet that day. I don\'t want my friends to see me wearing them. I do not recommend the Tidal Blue pants at all!

Looking for jeans for my super tall husband, I decided to go old school. And these 501s did not disappoint. The quality, style and fit are so nice for him. Would recommend.

I love when i get a pair of 501s Levis, I know that they fit perfect, an give me at 73, a great feeling hipping the young guys to a coolest pair of levis!

Classic and extremely comfortable fit. I love the button-fly closure and all cotton construction. You cannot ever miss with Levis Jeans! Highly recommend!

Perfect fit and look great. These are a classic for a reason. The button holes for the button fly were a little tight at first, but should be fine with time.

too long I need a 30L

My husband did not like them because the fly was buttons rather than a zipper. I did not realize this when I ordered them. The quality of the jeans, however, was very good.

I think that i would do better w 44 30 instead of 44 32 also i want a zipper instead of buttons other than that I'm very satisfied. Please send me a box w the label. Thanks

Perfect fit but i don't like the buttons where the zipper is supposed to be.
