The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit is the unsanforized version of Levi's straight-leg button-fly jean. It is cut from rigid cotton denim that shrinks after the first soak or wash, so you buy it larger than your finished size and break it in yourself. The result is a stiff, durable jean that molds to your body and fades with wear. It suits buyers who want a project pair of jeans and classic 501 styling; shoppers who want an easy, out-of-the-box fit should look at the pre-shrunk 501 Original instead.

Owners of shrink-to-fit 501s describe a stiff, heavy denim that becomes a personal fit after the first soak and wears in beautifully. The main complaints are the sizing gamble and the break-in period.
The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit Jeans are men's straight-fit jeans in solid-color denim. They sit at a normal waist and have pocket details.
The fabric is a denim blend of cotton and elastane (Lycra/spandex). These are adult jeans, not sportswear.
