Customer Reviews Levi's® Mens 501® Original Shrink-to-Fit Jeans

Glad to get 35 inch waist on the classic levis

love the 35inch waist, nice color

I have ordered from this company before, a purse and was very satisfied with my purchase and delivery time. This time I ordered 2 pairs of Levi's 501 shrink to fit pants for my husband because they had a great deal on them and the 2 items arrived on time. I will order from Zappos again.

So i couldn't decide which levi # to go with so I figured I would give Shrink to Fit a try. Perfect! I am normally a 32x32 and bought 32x34 I put in tub to shrink 2x's and they fit just about perfect ( a little long in length) but one cuff and it's all good!

I love the regular high rise of these jeans.

Ive been wearing 501s since i was 10,way back in 1969, awesome jeans and the break in very nice, I buy my waist size and 2 sizes longer than my inseam, I wear them for a while then wash, hang to dry. In a few months these turn into soft, perfectly faded and fit very well. Zappos is the best, although I don't understand how amazon and zappos have two different prices since they are basically the same corporation??? most times amazon are cheaper for the same size. amazon prime is same free shipping and free returns.

Unfortunately, I had to return them. They were a gift for my father. I had to order a larger size. I reordered them and ordered an extra pair as well. Now, my father will have a black pair and a dark blue pair. I'm overall pleased. I would highly recommend these jeans

I enjoy buying at your store

Seriously, you can't beat the originals, in my opinion. Been wearing them my whole life (used to pay $5 per which kinda dates me). Even though they are not as hefty as they were 50 years ago, they are still strong, well built, comfortable and sharp looking - especially with cowboy boots. What's not to like? I just bought 3 new pair!

Mandatory break in period reuired. Recommend washing in hot water wearing.

The Levis 501 Shrink to fit are my favorite jeans 35x38 shrink perfectly for my 34x36 frame. Levi quality I have come to expect and Zappos always has quick ship.

Nothing better than the classic. They do need to be washed in hot water first but worth the effort. Last for years and fade over time.

I have a hard time finding pants that fit my shape. The shrink to fit process (google it) provided a custom fit that looks great. My only gripe is the pockets are a little small in today's big phone world.

Got the order in a timely manner and was as I expected

These 501 SHRINK-TO-FIT Jeans are the original ones that shrink A LOT! My husband has been wearing these for years. I washed these in super hot water, twice, and added a lot of fabric softener in the rinse cycle. I then dried them in a very very hot dryer. They shrunk the perfect amount. My husband normally wears in a PRE-SHRUNK JEAN: 32 waist/30 length In SHRINK-TO-FIT: 33 waist/33 length They turned out really soft and look and feel great. The denim is much heavier than other Levi's, so they last.

Great transaction... Levi's at Zappos...great combo awesome product and awesome service

I've been wearing Levi's since my 13th. birthday in 1957. Always purchase 'Shrink-to-Fit', wash inside out with other pairs, let the bleeding of the new pair mix with the old pairs. Hang outside to dry and button-up and they'll expand in the waist with one or two try-on's. Only Brand and style I'll purchase and have been wearing for close to sixty (60) years.

These pants look & feel great

These are almost impossible to find now. I've worn the same size shrink to fit for 30 years. They last forever, fit great. If you have a good figure, these are the best. Thanks Zappos.

Don't overthink it. I wear a 34W x 30W. Bought these Shrink to fits in rigid blue in my correct waist but 2" longer (34W x 32W.) Arrived baggy as hell and stiff as everyone says. Washed once in hot water and a little tide. Hung dry for about an hour, then put on still damp. Tight as hell at first around the waist but loosened up in about ten minutes. length shrunk up a perfect 2" as I'd read it would. Wore damp for about two hours, hung dry rest of the way. Cold water wash and hang dry from here on in. My new favorite beater jeans. Great price from Zappos, arrived in two days Thanks!

These are definitely true 501s. I have been wearing them everyday since purchase, as per Levi's reco. They fit well already!

Great classic stf 501 levi fit. Sizing perfect. Arrived early. Zappos excellent service!

I have been wearing Levi's 501 Shrink To Fit jeans for abut as long as I have had legs. They are getting increasingly more difficult to find, especially in my size. I was long overdue for a few new pairs and I went to one local box store that usually has them. They were out of my size, and the area in the store was a mess with sizes and styles all jumbled together. They said they could order my size and get them in two months! I called a few others rather than waste more time. Same weak story. I believe my wife suggested Zappos. They had them in my size and free shipping, cheaper than the local guys. They arrived in like three days. You have to wash these jeans as they have to shrink to fit correctly. For some reason, one pair came out of the wash with a open seam. I called Zappos. They sent me a new pair , no questions asked and they did not want the damaged pair returned. I am thinking this is great. If you are not a shopper, and you know what you want. just cut to the chase, get down to it and buy whatever you want here. I ordered two more pairs. I am never going to monkey around with the local looser stores again for jeans. I am very impressed.
