Full details

FAQs
Do these jeans have any stretch?
No, these are made from 100% cotton and do not contain elastane or stretch fibers.
How should I wash them to prevent shrinking?
Wash in cold water and avoid high-heat drying to minimize potential shrinkage.
Are these a button fly or zipper fly?
The 501 Original features the signature button fly.
Will the indigo color fade?
Like all quality denim, the indigo will naturally fade over time with wash and wear, creating a unique, lived-in look.
How do I choose the right size?
Since there is no stretch, we recommend measuring your natural waist and checking it against our fit guide, or choosing your true denim size.
Troubleshooting
Jeans feel too stiff after washing
100% cotton denim naturally softens with wear; continue wearing them to help the fibers relax, or tumble dry on very low heat with wool dryer balls.
Indigo dye bleeding onto light surfaces
Wash the jeans inside out separately for the first few cycles to remove excess surface dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Levi's 501 jeans maintain their integrity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water to preserve the indigo color and prevent excessive shrinkage.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the cotton fibers; if you must use a dryer, use a low-heat setting.
- Fit Compatibility: As these are a size 42 waist in 100% cotton, ensure you verify your measurements against a non-stretch garment to guarantee comfort.
- Maintenance: Avoid over-washing; spot cleaning or airing out the jeans can help maintain the deep indigo color for longer.
