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

These are the jeans that we know, the real shrink to fit! Other Original 501s are Preshrunk junk. My thank to the sales representative who helped me find these after I ordered and return the others!

To be truthful, I was leery to order from Zappos. I had not heard anything about them. However, I will definitely order from them again in the future. Order was delivered on time and in good condition.

I only wear 501 Shrink to Fits. They are durable, stylish, and affordable.

Love that it was delivered to me door.

The sizing of these seems to run large now, but I still recommend ordering your normal waist size. There is single stitching in the crotch area which is not very impressive, but the color choices are many and are pleasing to the eye. These are not truly your pair of classic vintage 501's but the modern version. They are not bad and the price is a bargain.

Great all around pants

These are the jeans from my childhood. After growing up an switching to slacks it was a good feeling to be back in 501's. Black can look good enough for a night out and comfort a huge plus.

Levi's are always tough and fit great!

Great fit. Classic.

I've wanted these 501 Levis for quite awhile. I was unable to find them in my size. Thank you DestinationXL

I'm difficult to fit. Odd size. DXL had the correct size Levi's, in stock and now I am a happy camper,

I would buy these again and again, just as advertised.

I ordered two pairs of the 501 shrink to fit jeans a few days ago and they are not the same product in the picture. The picture shows a double stitched inseam and the jeans I received are single stitched. The fabric seems a little thinner compared to my pairs from a few years ago as well. I would not pay much for this garbage that Levi's is putting out now. It makes you wonder where else they are cutting costs and quality. I might never be purchasing another pair of Levi's jeans again, what a sad day.

Great jeans that mold to you. Get 1 inch larger in the waist and 3 in the inseam so after they're washed in hot water and dried in a hot drier, they'll conform to your shape. Love the color too. I've gotten these, a red pair, aqua blue, silver and gray. Colors will spice up your life in jeans!

I ordered these Levi's on a Wednesday and got them on Friday, two days later. I wouldn't have been able to go to the mall until Saturday, and they might not have been in stock. What I like about Zappos is free shipping, free return. Thank you for the great service!

If only other online retailers were up to Zappos' standards! The Levis...cool. Lady at Zappos instructed me to wash them, wrong side out, with Murphy Oil Soap in cold water. Tried it and by George, it makes a difference! The jeans come out a bit softer.

These jeans fit to a tee. They were just the way my baby liked the other pair. Thanks.

please send me a replacement.

I bought some of these in July, and i actually, have not washed them traditionally. I like the rigid, raw denim type feel. The way the jeans stack on my knees and always look crisp and new is a big one of for my personal style. I went with grey because i can wear gray with anything in my wardrobe. I am planning to treat myself to two new pairs this Christmas. If you are into a crisper, raw look, these jeans are great too. To avoid washing them regularly, I will actually get some anti-bacterial aerosol spray, give them a quick spray in and out, then fold them up and put them in my freezer for a day or two. When you pull them out, the spray and cold kills off any kind of bacteria that causes odor. If there are ever any stains, i just have them dry cleaned for a few bucks. Totally worth it.

Just what I expected for a Levi product. High quality and good fit.

We were thrilled with the service from Zappos! My son likes Levis 501 jeans, but wears a hard-to-find size (30x38). Zappos had his size and we had the shipment the next day. Amazing!

These are the classic blue jeans with the button fly and the thick denim. They will shrink in the wash so buy them 1" larger in the waist and 3" longer in length, then wash them in hot water. I think they're great.

These jeans rock! I ordered my actual waist size & about an inch and a half too long. After a couple of hot water bathtub soaks, they fit perfectly. BTW these were made in Mexico. Different colors made in different (e.g. Egypt) countries fit differently. Trying them on is a good idea. Love the blue green color, it's different, and softening nicely. IMHO nothing fits like the original STF's. A little labor intensive at first, but I find that kind of fun. Once you get the right fit, you're good to go. For years. The more you wear them, the better they look. I buy 1 pair a year, and as they cycle thru many wearings and washing (I like clean jeans) they keep fading and "wiskering". Get some!
