Levi's Men's 501 Original Fit Jeans

I wore my first Levi's 50 years ago but never in the last 35 years as I could never get the fit and couldn't face the "break in period". To be honest I was put off ordering due to the negative reviews for the product and the (somewhat) spurious claims of "fake" products. Please to say because of the fantastic returns policy I took a punt and ordered a pair of 501's. I cannot say how pleased I am with the jeans. Sure, they aren't the product they were 50 years ago and yes the denim is of a lighter weight but and a BIG But, I'm confident they are the genuine article manufactured with modern process', they fit me which is all I care about and seem excellent value for money with the kudos of the "red tag" which frankly I never thought at 60+ I'd ever wear again. I purchased a darker colour but am so please I've just ordered a further pair in the "faded" look with the added benefit I don't have to wear them in for 5years to get that look! Delighted!

Perfect just what I expected

If you are a long standing aficionado of Levi’s 501s and have a few well worn pairs already in your wardrobe, you may feel dubious about what you are buying here. The feel, look, texture and look of these jeans is not much like my other Levi’s but on the plus side, they are well made and I don’t have to crowbar my middle aged frame into them as they are an excellent, comfortable fit that I can wear all day. There are numerous comments from other buyers on here, questioning the authenticity of these jeans and it would be helpful for Amazon or the supplier to provide some sort of statement guaranteeing that they are from Levi’s. I’ve had a close look and the detailing looks ok but the material feels much lighter than the 501s I’ve previously owned. As I’m more into comfort and fit over style these days, I’m happy with my purchase and Amazon’s try before you pay service gives you peace of mind if you’re not happy with the Levi’s you receive.

Look, fit and feel great! Very happy with this buy, so much so I’ll be buying a second pair very soon 👍🏻 Update Tried to order another pair a few days later only to find that the price has gone up to £85! I’m 67 and £50 is the most I’ve ever paid for a pair of jeans. Not about to change now, gutted!🤬

Which is getting more and more unlikely these days.. I always wear Levis but in recent years its become increasingly difficult to find a decent pair, regardless of where you shop - they're either the wrong shape and size, or (and I bet many of you will have experienced this) the label either disintegrates or shrinks and thickens. And don't think I've been buying dodgy knock-offs from the back of a lorry; most have been from the official site or outlets and the last pair (which cost almost 3 times as much as these) was from an upmarket department store.. These are fine, the fit is perfect, the label has retained its integrity after washing, the stitching is good (without the occasional meander off-piste) and the pre-fading is subtle, without the bucket of white paint thrown down the front look you encounter all too often. These are sourced from Poland, which might be something I'll look out for in future, and I think you can purchase a pair of these with confidence, at a good price too.

These are very good quality and well fitted jeans , they are very comfortable, they are definitely NOT fake and I’m not sure why Amazon are letting people leave reviews saying they are . One reviewer is even saying he contacted Levi and they told him they don’t use the capital E anymore but the reviewer is lying through his teeth. They now definitely, definitely use capital E on many items as a nod back to the pre 1971 . If you don’t believe it then pop into local Levi shop and see . Also the 501s are slightly thinner than the 514s but its exactly the feel that they are trying for as it is a very comfortable luxurious soft feeling fit and still very sturdy and tough while 514s straight cut are slightly thicker with zip instead of fly ,

Despite other reviewers supposedly spotting signs that these are fake I can confirm they are in fact genuine. The confusion I think stems from the fact that they are part of Levi's premium range and match exactly with Levis own web site. The premium range include strange details such as the capitals on the red tag ( copying their pre 1971 design), likewise the patch includes subtle differences which match an earlier generation of patch design. Don't worry if your red tag only has a circled r on it as apparently 1 in 100 pairs are made this way to copyright protect the red design. The fit is identical to my other 501s apart from maybe being a tad longer in the leg. The feel is a little strange due to the mix of fibers - softer than pure cotton but still as thick, and even though there is some elastene it doesn't have the unpleasant stretching of some jeans. If there is a fault it is that the jeans don't quute feel as natural as pure cotton. I gather the fiber mix helps the jeans keep their shape better ( stops bagging and shrinking) I would say that Amazon need to improve their description as when I ordered these it clearly stated they were 94% cotton. Only when looking again on my tablet did I see a description further down showing only 48% cotton . This second description did not even appear on my phone or desktop. Having said that I am still happy with the quality of these jeans.

Arrived quickly, accurately sized, good price and good fit but not 100% cotton - which is annoying because that’s what the product information promised. I am keeping them.

Buen producto.

Bellissimi e originali

Ma taille habituelle de Pantalon est 29 et 32 en longueur de jambes. Le jean que j’ai acheté est trop petit, limite du 36 taille française ! Dommage
