FAQs

Are these jeans stretchy?

These 501 Curve Jeans are made from 100% cotton and do not contain elastane or other stretch fibers. They are designed to conform to your body over time with wear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Levi's size chart for women's jeans and measure your waist and hips. The 501 Curve is designed to fit snugly at the waist and offer more room through the hips and thighs. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.

Will the washed black color fade?

The washed black finish is intentional. With proper care (cold wash, inside out), the color should remain consistent, but like all denim, some subtle fading may occur naturally over time, enhancing the worn-in look.

How do I care for my 100% cotton jeans?

Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.

Can I wear these jeans in warmer weather?

Yes, the 100% cotton material is breathable and suitable for warmer weather, especially when paired with lighter tops.

What is the difference between 501® and 501 Curve?

The 501 Curve is an updated version of the classic 501, designed with a specific fit that accommodates a curvier figure, offering more room through the hip and thigh while maintaining the iconic straight leg and higher rise.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with 100% cotton denim. Wear them around the house for short periods or try a gentle machine wash on cold with like colors to help soften the fabric.

Shrinkage after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat or air drying. Avoid hot water and high heat drying, which can cause significant shrinkage.

Color transfer onto other clothing or upholstery.

Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors for the first few washes, as some color bleeding may occur. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces, especially when wet.

Fit is too tight in one area or too loose in another.

Denim can adjust to your body shape over time. If the fit is significantly off, consider if it is the correct size or if tailoring is needed for a perfect custom fit.
