Levi's 501 Shrink-to-Fit jeans are raw, unwashed denim that you shrink to your body by soaking and wearing them dry. They use the original 501 straight fit through the seat, thigh and leg, with a tilted waistband, button fly and leather patch. Buyers who break them in properly get a personal fit and deep fades that washed jeans can't match. The trade-off is effort and uncertainty: shrinkage varies, and many say the waist runs large before the first soak.

Owners like the fit once broken in, the durable denim and the rich indigo that develops with washing. Complaints center on sizing: the waist runs large, and shrinkage results vary, with some saying their pair hardly shrank.
These Levi's 501 jeans are made from unwashed Shrink-to-Fit denim in a dark wash. You wash, wear and break them in yourself. The denim shrinks when washed.
The Original fit runs straight through the seat, thigh and leg. The tilted waistband pitches toward the front and sits just below the waist. The jeans have a classic five-pocket design with a button fly.
A leather brand patch sits at the back waist. The signature arcuate stitch is on the back pockets.
