The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-To-Fit is the raw, unsanforized version of the 501 straight-leg jean, cut from 100% cotton non-stretch denim with a button fly. Unlike the pre-shrunk 501 Original, it is made to shrink to fit: you buy it larger than your finished size and shrink it in a bath or wash, so the final fit depends on how you treat it. It suits shoppers who want stiff, honest denim that fades and molds to the body over months. Rivals like the pre-shrunk 501 or Wrangler's rigid 13MWZ are easier to size but lack the same break-in ritual.

Owners rate the 501 Shrink-To-Fit highly and treat it as a long-term project: stiff at first, then comfortable and personal after shrinking and months of wear. Most praise the denim and the fades; the main complaints are the sizing guesswork and the break-in period.
