501 32x34 aok

So these fit well enough, but for those who want a better descriptor for the color than just "rinse": The color rinse looks like raw denim that has had two hot washes. It is not entirely sharp and clean, but it doesn't look distressed or otherwise treated. The color on this pair falls around hex#28346D and #28274B if you want to see them on your computer. Otherwise, it is a Levi's 501 with a button fly. They are great.

Levis as they used to be; good news for the Levi Lover.

I believe I have already reviewed a pair of Levis 501s, but of a different color. Regardless, I'm sure what I said was that I have worn Levis for many decades, but about a decade ago I stopped because they were no longer fit like they used to fit (and older pairs did still fit, so it was not a weight gain issue or similar), but now on a fluke I bought a new pair, found they again fit, so I'm in process of restocking my Levis, hoping they last as did my old pairs so I won't have to go through this again before I fade away. I'll likely be buried in my Levis. So, they fit true in terms of waist and length, and ask me in 20 years if they still wear well. I am hopeful.

501® Durability

Wearing 501s for 60 years and buying this pair was little challenging. My first pair when LBJ was president, there was only one kind of 501, known to shrink 2 sizes and came in blue. Now, quit counting at 100, so many 501®, even in red. Bought this pair 2 sizes less in W and 2 sizes less in L from my last pair and so far good. Wife and her friends made positive comments, something unexpected. So, good to go.

Reliably good fitting

Been a while since I'v had some Levis after rocking the country western style for many years - mostly due to that being the only style I could afford with lengths that would fit. 501s don't drape well around cowboy boots (too narrow at the bottom), so I was wearing mostly Wrangler and Ariat.. Now that I am going with a more metropolitan style, it is hard to find jeans that are long enough in any brand except Levis. These seem to fit a little lower around the waist than I remember (but maybe they're the same) and are a little lighter, but they fit well and look nice. I like them. I'm 6' 2" and weight about 185. In dress pants I wear 34 inch waist - not sure the length as I get dress pants tailored. Ordered a second pair of 501s after getting the first. They look good with tennis shoes and casual dress shoes.

I had lost my way, but now I am found: 501 button fly BABY!

It seems that the whole lineup of Levi Jeans are available on AMAZON - I decided that paying 300 bucks for hipster ball hugging jeans that ripped in the seat after one year of use was just not doing it for me anymore. I mean what happened to Jeans that rip at the knees!? - So I dialed up a pair of the ol classics - 501 button flys. I haven't warn a pair of these since College, but boy did I love'em back then. This particular pair is perfect - the fabric is lightweight and the fit was spot on - even through the ol Daddy bulge. A word of caution though - I ordered what I thought to be an identical pair in a lighter color and the fit on those was NOT the same. The Jean material was MUCH thicker and the fit clunky. I wish Amazon would include fabric weighting to the descriptions of the different colors...

I think of these as being the classic Levi's jeans

I see these as the basic jeans, but basic in the best way possible, classic. Not skinny, not low-rise, not baggy, and when you get the fit right these are great jeans. Regarding the fit, I'm 5'-9" and 150 pounds, my regular business pants are usually 32W x 33.5L, and for the 501's I got 31x34 and they fit fine, although for the first wash I added some very hot water to the washing machine (but I don't really know if that made any difference). The buttons of the fly were extremely tight initially, but they're fine after being buttoned a few times. High recommendation, but try to get the sizing right if you want a really good fit!

Great value on classic jean

I really like the fit and the price of these jeans. I am trying to get away from just wearing "blue" jeans. These are perfectly casual and comfortable without looking too dressed up or dressed down like in blue jeans. I agree with some other reviews that these don't have the feel of the traditional 501's of 20 years ago, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As I recall it took multiple washes and wearings to get the thicker material of the old 501's to be comfortable. These are comfortable the first time you put them on. I assume that the material may be as "tough" as the older thicker 501's. But then again, I wear them for the style and not as work wear. Regarding the style, there are so many jeans out there today that cost hundreds of dollars in every cut from super skinny to baggy that I just can't get into. You know, you can't go wrong with a classic like the levi 501 and I think it keeps you looking good and stylish without being a slave to fashion trends.

New lighter weight for global warming

I see reviews saying these are too thin to be the original 501s. I have worn 501s all my life--and those reviews are right. BUT--in hot climates, these are infinitely superior to heavy 501s. I like both. Those who say these may be great in Mexico--are right again! Light weight for a hot climate. I will remain a loyal Levis' wearer. However, I do have a complaint for Levis. Can't you warn us whether the pants are light or classic heavy fabric? I will gladly buy both. But I hate surprises when I think I'm getting one and I get the other. How about calling them 501-light? or 501.5? Or at least make it clear if they are normal or light fabric somehow. I gave 5 stars because I love 501s, and the color ("compost"-both green and brown) is great. And so very futuristic, global warming, living green, etc. You go, Levis! And for those who have never worn button flies, get with it! The spaces between the buttons provide VENTILATION. Was that too much information?

Levi's 501 jeans are a Classic.

Twenty years ago, you could sell these jeans for several hundreds of dollars per pair abroad. They are the button fly, the classic Levi's jeans before zippers were invented. If you are a man, getting a sensitive area caught in the zipper is excruciating. This only happened once to me, and I switched to button fly. They are a classic fit, very favorable to your physique, durable and comfortable. They only come in about four or five colors to my knowledge, but this is a small price to pay for what will undoubtedly become your favorite pair of jeans for everywhere. Today, it seems that everyone the world over prefers to wear jeans. Even corporate positions have relaxed their dress codes, and casual and comfortable has become the norm. You can wear them with a sport coat to dress it up a bit. I always prefer to honor the inventor or originator of any product, and Levi was absolutely the first to make a pair of jeans, as I recall in the late 1800's or early 1900's in San Francisco for the gold miners. Since then, so many people have tried to copy them, but, in my opinion, Levi's are still the best. There are more durable jeans, the ones made from canvas or firehose sheathing fabric, and I have to admit I own several pair of these for work. But for just knocking around in, Levi's are the most comfortable. If you've never owned a pair of button fly Levi's, I strongly recommend you try a pair...you'll be hooked.

Sturdy, Great Look and Fit

These are the only jeans I buy. They always fit as expected. The stitching is nice and sturdy. The material thickness is just right. And the classic fit, look, and feel is impossible to beat. I'm not a guy who needs variety in my jeans aside from color. So I keep a few pairs in my drawer at all times. The button fly is a total preference thing. I personally wouldn't go back now that I'm used to it, but there are many who prefer the zipper fly. If you need the zipper, than these probably aren't for you. But if you like, or think you could get used to the buttons, then it's hard to beat these jeans.
