The Levi's 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit is the raw, unsanforized version of the 501: 100% cotton rigid denim that arrives stiff and oversized, then shrinks to fit after a soak or wash. It has a regular fit through the thigh, a straight leg and a mid-rise that sits at the waist. Unlike pre-shrunk 501s, it asks you to buy a size up and break it in yourself, which is why fans say it molds to the body and fades uniquely. It suits buyers who want authentic stiff denim and don't mind the effort; anyone wanting a soft, true-to-size jean should look at the pre-washed 501 instead.
