## Description

Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501s, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of jeans in existence — burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) invented them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will.

Review: Classic Levi’s quality — great fit and long-lasting color - These are really solid, classic Levi’s jeans. The fit is true to size, the material feels durable and comfortable, and the overall quality is exactly what I expect from this line. The black color holds up very well over time and doesn’t fade easily with regular wear and washing. They break in nicely while still keeping their shape, which makes them great for everyday use. If you’re looking for dependable, good-looking jeans that hold up, these are hard to beat.
Review: Second Pair Purchased - First Pair Too Big; This Pair Absolutely Perfect, and Buying More - Perfect fit. Sorry if this is long, but it's been a weird experience with the 501 STFs through the past two orders. I ordered one pair, following Levi's instructions for sizing STFs. I hadn't owned a pair in like 20 years, so I don't remember how I used to size them. Looking back, I think I just bought my regular waist and one size up in length, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the first pair I ordered (Rigid, STF) were sized up one inch in the waist and two in the length. I wear a 33x29, but usually buy 33x30 since 29L is pretty hard to find. I ordered the first pair in a 34x32, sizing up one in the waist and two in the length. I hot soaked them and they barely shrank at all, so I tossed them in the dryer. Still barely noticeable. So I hot soaked them again and put them in the dryer. Still not a good fit at all, and there's a weird bump over my tailbone. They're wearable, but just barely because they are still too big and I look like I'm hiding a tail stub over my butt. Now, on to this pair (burgundy): I just bought these in my usual size (32x30), wore them in a hot bath for 30 minutes, got out and let them drip dry on me, then hung them on a pinch hanger until they were almost dry but still damp. I put them on and wore them until they were totally dry, taking care to avoid bending over or bending my knees or anything. I just stood in my living room and watched the Super Bowl until they were 1005 dry. That was absolutely successful! These are the best-fitting pair that I own now, and I just ordered a pair of the black STFs that arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that I can get the same result with this next pair; if so, I'll probably order another pair of the blue Rigids and donate the first pair to Goodwill or whatever. Sorry for the novel, but that's my experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi dear supplier, Just one question: Be honest please, Is it made in Mexico or Colombia? thank you.**
A: Levi’s has manufacturing facilities all around the world. I used to know the woman in charge for their supply chain. When I mentioned that the jeans in Mexico are consistent but I’ve had to return 501’s from other countries, she did say that was true. This was 15 years ago so I would hope things have changed. I still only buy the ones from Mexico…

**Q: what is the number of the same jeans with a zip fly**
A: The 501 button fly Jean does not duplicate their fit with a zipper. Many say the 505 is the same with a zipper. Not true. Why Levi's doesn't produce the same fit with a zipper has always stumped me. The 501 button fly is one of the best fitting jeans on the market.  To have the same exact fit with a zipper would be awesome. I hate fighting those buttons.

**Q: Are these jeans shrink to fit or pre-washed?**
A: The review from March 27, 2023 said the person received stretch jeans and not the Shrink to Fit jeans that were ordered.  
I ordered the 501's Shrink to Fit and when received, they were way to long per my requested size.  I reordered a shorter size of 501's Shrink to Fit and received jeans that didn't even look like Levi Jeans Material/Denim.  This second order was not what I ordered.   Another thing, it said "MADE IN EGYPT."  Since when?  I am not happy about this and will send back to Amazon.  It did say 501 Shrink to Fit. but that was crap because it was not the traditional material.  SO  BUMMED

**Q: I have older 505 with a 15 inch leg openning.  Which current Levi cut is closest to it?**
A: The 502 is very similar with a tapered leg.  I have some really old (70's) 505's also that have very narrow leg openings.
