The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit is the rigid, unsanforized version of Levi's straight-leg button-fly jean. You buy it larger than your finished size and shrink it to fit with a soak or wash, which sets a personal fit and fades that no pre-washed jean can match. It suits buyers who want a project pair of jeans and classic 501 styling. Against washed 501s and softer rivals, it demands more effort and shrinks unpredictably, but owners who put in the work get a durable, uniquely fitted jean.

Owners of shrink-to-fit 501s value the rigid denim and the custom fit that comes from shrinking them, and many wear the result for years. The common complaints are the guesswork in sizing and the stiff, unforgiving feel before break-in.
These Levi's 501 Original jeans are a men's straight-fit style in a solid color. They are shrink-to-fit jeans and have pockets.
