The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-To-Fit is the raw, unsanforized version of the classic 501 straight-leg jean, with a button fly and rigid denim that shrinks when you wash it. You control the final fit by choosing how to soak and wash it, so the same pair can end up snug or relaxed. It suits buyers who want authentic stiff denim and don't mind breaking it in. Against pre-washed 501s it demands more work and patience, and the 3.3-star average across 20,000 ratings shows plenty of buyers find the sizing and shrinkage tricky.

Buyers like the authentic 501 look and the control Shrink-To-Fit gives, but many find the shrinkage hard to predict and the denim stiff at first. Sizing complaints are common across the large rating base.
