Is $50.97 a good price for Levi's 501 jeans?

Yes. The 501 usually sells for more, and $50.97 at Kohl's as of November 7, 2026 is near the bottom of its recent range. Four stores price it new, so compare before buying.

How do 501 Original jeans fit?

They sit at the normal-to-high waist with a straight leg through the thigh and leg opening. The cut is roomier than slim styles and runs true to the listed waist size, though washes can vary.

Are these 100% cotton or stretch?

Most 501 Originals are 100% cotton. This listing includes a version with 1% elastane, which adds slight stretch and breathability; check the wash label to confirm which one you're buying.

What sizes are available?

Waists run from W25 to W42 and inseams from L28 to L34, in blue and brown. Not every combination is stocked in every wash.

How should I wash them?

Wash at 30 degrees Celsius, inside out, and line dry to limit shrinkage and fading. Skip the dryer to keep the fit and indigo.

What's the difference from the 501 '54 or other 501 variants?

The standard 501 Original is the modern straight cut. The '54 has a boxier, vintage-inspired fit, and other variants change rise, taper or fabric; the Original is the middle-of-the-road choice.

Our take on the Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans

The Levi's 501 is the original straight-leg jean, cut with a normal-to-high waist, a button fly and five pockets. Most versions are 100% cotton denim; this listing adds 1% elastane for a bit of stretch and breathability. Sizes run across W25–W42 waists and L28–L34 inseams in blue and brown. At $50.97 at Kohl's as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of what the 501 usually sells for, and four stores carry it new.
