FAQs

How should I wash them?

Wash in cold water, inside out, and preferably air dry to maintain the fit and color.

Yes, they feature the classic straight leg fit that Levi's is famous for.

What is the closure type?

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel too tight initially

Non-stretch denim requires a 'break-in' period. Wear them regularly for a few days, and the fibers will relax and conform to your specific body shape.

Color fading after washing

Always wash in cold water with the jeans turned inside out, and avoid using heavy-duty detergents to maintain the black dye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Levi's 501s maintain their fit and finish, proper care is essential. Since the fabric is non-stretch cotton, it is recommended to wash them sparingly in cold water to prevent unnecessary shrinking and fading. Always turn the jeans inside out before placing them in the washing machine to protect the exterior color and button-fly hardware. Air drying is highly encouraged over machine drying to preserve the integrity of the denim fibers. When choosing your size, remember that because there is no stretch in the fabric, you should select your exact measurement as they will not expand during the day.
