The real deal – Levi’s 501 Original Shrink-to-Fit Jean is a classic that’s made to last. These jeans have a rich history and before 1984, this was the only way you could get your jeans. Not washing them for 6 months and dragging them behind cars was all part of the breaking-in process. These are for all you denim purists who want to leave a mark—every crease, tiny hole, paint splatter, and fray will be your very own. Tried and true, you won’t want to take these jeans off, especially once you’ve worn them in perfectly. If you plan to wash these jeans, order a larger size. For your waist, increase 1” for sizes 27-36”, 2” for 38-48”, and 3” for 50” and up. And for your inseam, increase 3” for 27-34” and 4” for 36” and up.
