- How does the 501 fit compared with Levi's 511 or 512?
- The 501 is a straight leg with a normal rise, so it is roomier through the thigh and leg than the slim 511 or the tapered 512. Choose the 501 if you want a classic, relaxed shape.
- Does the 501 stretch?
- No. This is 100% cotton rigid denim with no elastane, so it does not stretch like Levi's stretch styles. It does soften and mold to your body with wear.
- Will the 501 shrink after washing?
- Rigid cotton denim can shrink slightly, mostly in length, after the first washes. Wash cold and line dry to limit it, and size up if you are between sizes.
- What is the difference between the 501 Original and the 501 '54?
- The 501 Original is the standard straight-leg cut. The 501 '54 is a straighter, boxier reproduction of the 1954 version with a higher rise and wider leg.
- Is the 501 good for everyday wear?
- Yes. It is a durable, versatile straight-leg jean that works with boots, sneakers and casual jackets. Expect a break-in period because of the rigid denim.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of Levi's 501 jeans. No belt or other accessories are included.
