The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit is the raw, non-stretch denim version of the classic 501: regular through the thigh, straight leg, tilted waistband just below the waist, five pockets, arcuate stitching and a leather patch at the back. Because the denim is unsanforized, it shrinks when washed, so the fit you get depends on how you size and care for it. It suits buyers who want stiff, durable, old-school denim that molds to the body over time. Against stretch and pre-shrunk 501 variants, it offers more character and longevity but less out-of-the-box comfort and predictability.

Buyers rate the 501 Shrink-to-Fit highly for quality, timeless style and value, and say the color holds up wash after wash. The main complaints are sizing: it runs small, the inseam can be short, and the waist feels low and tight in the crotch.
