Our take on the 501 Skinny
The Levi's 501 Skinny is the slim, tapered cut of Levi's original 501 jean, made from a cotton-blend denim with a little stretch. It keeps the 501's button fly and five-pocket layout but sits close through the thigh and narrows to the ankle. It suits shoppers who want the 501 look in a leaner silhouette. Against rigid 501s it is easier to move in but less durable over years, and against other skinny jeans it trades stretch for a sturdier denim feel.
