Do you know why men love this iconic American brand as work pants? Despite the fit feel and durability, the 501 has its own classy design. Over thirty years of being available on the market, has built a reputable image for this model. As with most of the world, the name Levi's synonomous with "blue jeans" or "jeans". For me, they were always blue, always "rigid" and always "right".
The 501 sizing is much less critical on the waist because there is no curve to the rise, which is why they call it "anti-fit" waist. These jeans are a perfect mix of style, durability and comfort, just what you would expect from Levi's
Don't be surprised if you find the 501's you have on hand were made in Colombia, or Egypt, or Mexico, Haiti and other various places. That's because Levi Strauss's move away from domestic manufacturing. So put aside all that pejudice about knock off you've heard before.
Original Fit vs Shrink to Fit
One thing that you need to be concern of, is about the "shrink to fit" model. There's this line of 501 jeans that have the original-fit, but are prewashed, available in numerous colors including stonewashed, and has the phrase "shrink to fit" in the product description - but do not shrink after washing. While the old-style shrink-to-fit 501's are only available in limited colors, including indigo.
