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

Overall I like the jeans. They are shrink to fit, but did not shrink as much as I had expected, so they are a bit looser and longer than I normally wear. I bought 35/34's, but those were WAY longer than 34! So I went with 35/32's, still longer than 32, but I hoped they would shrink enough that it wouldn't matter. I will likely buy again in the future, but will start at shorter length before shrinking to fit.

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

these 501's are special because made in Egypt. The cotton is the best I have seen in non-vintage 501's. Read about the various ways to wash and shrink before deciding how you wish to wear them.

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

Love that it was delivered to me door.

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.

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.

The quality is great. However, these are REALLY purplish red. More purple than red. They just weren't the color that I was looking for.

It is fun to be able to personalize your jeans. The inseam I ordered was 33" and from the description, I expected it to shrink in length by 3". I probably shrunk 2", but its better long than short.

I bought these for my boyfriend, they are his favorite jean's. He has been wearing Levi's brand forever. I have to say they do make him look hot.

I wear these when I go out

Classic Levi Jeans

these are not the thickness of original 501"s . They stretch out. washed and tried 1 pair returning the 2nd

I ordered 2 of the Men's Original 501's Shrink to Fit - both to be size 36" x 34 and I received one 36" x 34" and one 36" x 32". Returning 32" one.

These were a gift for my son. He specifically prefers shrink to fit 501 Levis. While he likes them and can wear them, they are not shrink to fit. Apparently they are just the original version, not shrink to fit.

Crooked outer seams (both legs!) point to your shoe laces otherwise a nice rugged pair of jeans. I'll try again.

Way too baggy

Product returned.

I really wanted the old shrink to fit. I am a woman buying these to make cut off shorts from. They are higher waisted than I thought and I remember them having four buttons not five. I wear a 27 in Lucky jeans so I bought a 30. After washing they are tight. I should have bought 31s.

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.

Not sure this style of jean is right for me given over all fit...need more of a relaxed fit rather than the one provided ....so I am in the process of returning

Washed and dried one pair 3 times (can't return). These 501 Shrink to fit did not shrink as they have for me the last 40 years, the length is still to long. 501 Shrink to fit used to shrink perfectly with size ordered (36- 32) but not now.
