Is $59.50 a good price for the 501 Original?

Yes. At $59.50 at The General Store Spokane as of November 3, it sits near the low end of its recent range. Full-price 501 Originals usually run around $70 to $80.

How does the 501 Original fit compared with the 501 Slim?

The 501 Original is a mid-rise straight leg with room through the thigh. The 501 Slim is cut closer through the leg. Choose the Original for a roomier, classic look.

Will the non-stretch denim shrink?

Rigid 501s can shrink about an inch in the waist and length after a hot wash and dry. Wash cold and hang dry to keep the fit, or size up if you plan to machine dry.

What is the button fly like?

It has five buttons instead of a zipper. It takes a few extra seconds but is part of the original 501 design and holds up well.

What sizes does it come in?

The 501 Original comes in waist sizes from about 28 to 40 and lengths from 30 to 34, including the 29x32 listed here. Availability varies by wash.

Levi's and department stores discount 501s around major sales like Black Friday and end-of-season clearance. Prices under $60 are worth grabbing.

Our take on the Levi's Men's 501 Original Fit Button Fly Non-Stretch Jeans

The Levi's 501 Original is the straight-leg, button-fly jean Levi Strauss introduced in 1873 and still sells largely unchanged. This pair is non-stretch denim, so it breaks in and molds to you rather than stretching out. The 501 is a mid-rise straight fit that sits at the waist and runs straight to the hem. The latest best price is $59.50 at The General Store Spokane as of November 3, near the low end of its recent range.
