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

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 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

Fit is great. Size is great. But wow Levi’s has diminished in quality. This denim is not good. I used to have STF 501’s for years. My last pair ripped in the crotch within months. These new ones in black look and feel great. However the material is so thin I’m genuinely afraid to wash them, & anticipate getting less than a year out of these too. What happened, Levi’s? Not durable denim at ALL anymore.

Quality product, but it was much bigger than I expected. The 32 inch inseam barely shrunk and the pant legs are much wider than other 501s I’ve owned. I’ll have to get them tailored to be able to wear and that will almost double the cost. Basically they didn’t shrink to fit me.

baggy fit

I've been wearing these jeans for more than 50 years, but I may have to switch. The quality of the dyes or the material has gone down. I am particularly irked by the white lines down the legs left by the creases created for packaging. But, the general quality of the material including the coloring appears of lower quality, as well.

This was the wrong product. t was no the "Shrink-to-Fit" style.

Im usually not one to leave bad reviews but this time it’s a must! I got totally ripped off. The sizing was way off. The button fly on the jeans was missing buttons. They seemed worn and were definately damaged. Bad purchase. Not stoked.

Sizing is WAAAAY OFF. The waist is like a size 30, not 34 like I ordered. The button fly was missing a broken button and the button was in a little ziplock baggy stapled to the pocket! Wtf. Terrible order, terrible service
