The Levi's 501 Original is the straight-leg, button-fly jean Levi Strauss introduced in 1873, and it has stayed essentially unchanged since. This pair is 100% non-stretch cotton denim in Dark Stonewash, with a normal waist, straight tapered leg and standard five-pocket layout. The best new price is $25.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, well below what most of the five stores listing it new charge.

With 4.7 out of 5 from 538 ratings, owners largely treat the 501 as a known quantity: durable, well-cut denim that looks better with wear. Complaints center on the stiff first wear and the button fly.
Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501® Originals, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of modern jeans in existence—burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) introduced them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will.
