The OG, the GOAT of Levi’s jeans - and likely the most popular and most worn jean in history since they came to be with their patented rivets in 1873. Flattering on every shape and size.

The 501 is a regular fit with a straight leg, known as “original fit”. They have more coverage in the seat and are a bit smaller in the waist and roomier in the thighs, so they work great for all body types. This is also how we get that perfectly hugged bum.

501s are different in that the back panel is cut wider than the front panel - super flattering to one’s backside. Also special, the rise is cut in a straight line as opposed to curved, known as anti-fit, which can take some getting used to for some.

Typical Fit Characteristics:

Fly: Button

Leg: Considered Straight, but vintage “straight” is a bit tapered. All ankle opening measurements will be in the photos of each listing.

Waist: Mid to High Rise. Typically, the bigger the waist size, the higher the rise.

These characteristics are also shared by the 701, which was the OG 501 that was made for women (before they started making 501 specifically for women in 1981, in which case the inside tag will always say the size and then “women”)
