Levi's 501 Original Straight Fit Jean - Blue

No, the Levi's 501 Original is crafted from 100% cotton, which provides a rigid, durable feel without synthetic stretch additives.

Wash in cold water, inside out, and avoid bleach. Using a mild detergent and hang-drying will significantly extend the life of the blue color.

Because they are 100% cotton, they may experience minor shrinkage if exposed to high heat in a dryer. Always use low heat or line dry.

Levi's 501s are standard waist sizing, but because there is no stretch, you may find that your usual 'stretch denim' size feels tighter than expected.

The best way is simply to wear them. The warmth and movement of your body will naturally cause the cotton to soften and conform to your shape.

Air-drying can make cotton feel stiff; tumble dry on a low-heat setting for 5 minutes or simply wear them for an hour to allow body heat to soften the fibers.

This is common with new denim. Wash the jeans inside out with a half-cup of white vinegar in the first wash to help set the color.

The buttonhole stitching often needs to be broken in; repeatedly button and unbutton the fly while the jeans are off to loosen the material.
