I bought these jeans knowing that my measurements didn’t fall into any one size. For reference, my waist is 26.5in, my hips are a 38.5in, and I’m 5 4. I bought a size 26W x 30L. On the size chart the measurements of this size are 27.25in waist and 36 inch hip. These jeans did not fit me and had no stretch. Technically, the did fit to be expected because they were big in the waist and super tight in the thighs and hips. Despite my error in sizing, the jean material is very high quality and not thin. There is a hidden button enclosure, which is really hard to get buttoned up and not at all convenient for going to the bathroom. However, if they did fit my right I would probably wear them a lot. The color and style itself is really cute and I would imagine that it would ... MoreI bought these jeans knowing that my measurements didn’t fall into any one size.

I received these jeans for free from Influenster and Levi’s in exchange for my honest opinion. Seeing these jeans were two toned caught me a little off guard. When i chose them, i didn’t realize it was two tone. once i received them though, i was pleasantly surprised. the fit of the jeans fit my body very nicely. not too high waisted but just enough. the material is pretty thick, that real jean material. i was expecting a zipper but there was this little thing of hidden buttons (which i included a picture of) which i’m not a fan of since it makes it hard to sit with the jeans on. overall, i really like the style and fit of the jeans. the two tone colors are close in color so it’s not too drastic. i would purchase this style of jeans for myself if there was a zipper ...

Overall, I am pretty happy with these jeans, besides the fit. The material feels very strong and seems like it could last a long time. The patchy looking part is surprisingly a flexible but hard material, despite giving a distressed look. It looks very clean overall. However, the sizing/fit of the jeans just isn't for me. The length seems to run big and gives off a 90s feel, which some people may like but it doesn't suit me well. But the waist seemed to fit well. I'd be willing to try another size as they are good pants, so I'll still recommend them. I received these jeans complimentary in exchange for my honest review.

This is an incentivized review. I received the product for free in exchange for an honest review. Overall the pants are nice, comfortable, true-to-size, and don’t have any major issues. They feel like average jeans, nothing about them sets them apart from a cheap pair. Maybe they will last longer. They’re button up, no zipper. The stitching on the button loops has extra threads that make the buttons stuck when unbuttoning. The holes in the knees make the pants more comfortable by making them more flexible, but they have extra threads which rip off and hang in clumps. All ripped jeans do this, but these seemed to more than usual. I washed them according to the directions and they held up perfectly - no change in fit or anything. Overall they’re a good pair of jeans ... MoreThis is an incentivized review. I received the product for free in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve worn a lot of jeans that look nice. Levi’s 501 make me feel confident, comfortable, and stylish. The fabric is really nice! It does require a little wear to break them in. However, you know you have good quality jeans when they are a bit stiff in the beginning. I ordered my jeans online and was surprised that the fit was spot on. They needed a little wear and movement but feel great. I’m going out with friends tonight and though these would be perfect with my black t and some jewelry. I plan on styling my hair for a really fun but casual look. I will wear these anywhere and for many occasions. They can easily be styled up or down. I love to try new products and am so happy I got to try something I love for my honest review. I love these and will go out and ... MoreI’ve worn a lot of jeans that look nice.

"I received Levi's 501@ '54 Original Fit Men's Jeans, 1954 Bright Light - Light Wash for free from Influenster and Levis in exchange for my honest review." And the new 501 '54 definitely is my preference for a comfortable fitting jean, despite being slightly different in several ways from other brands . For one, the anniversary 501 '54 has a button fly, not a zipper one like the jean that dropped in 1954, the 501z. (Z is for zipper.) The reversion to the button fly is a reference to Levi's 501s as we know them now — with button fronts. 501 -54 is comfortable and wears extremely well. It also has a higher rise with a noticeably slimmer, slightly tapered leg. The 501 Original is much more straight-fitting, with wider opening, too. The new fit is meant to mirror that ...

The new fit is meant to mirror that of the 501 from '54 they have in their archive. The washes are mostly original, though, and range from super faded to stark, dark and distressed. I have tried several competitors and feel 501 far exceeds the comfort and look then all the others.
I love the look of these jeans. The have the perfect amount of artificial wear to give them that nice classic old jeans look while still having a nice bright light blue color. The fit is not as relaxed as I expected for original fit but not tight enough to be a problem or uncomfortable. They are a bit stiff but you have to expect that from this line and the non-stretch. They are light which I really like so if you are active they won’t slow you down. They definitely aren’t a heavy rugged work Jean, they are more of a light casual wear comfort jean you can wear any wear with anything. I love these as they are perfect for when you just need to grab a pair of jeans and get out the door or when you are looking to just casual longer around the house. They look good with ...

I actually really like these jeans. Levi's has stepped up their game. The quality of these jeans are top notch. They are extremely comfortable. They do fit to size. I'm right at 6 feet tall, 135 lbs and I am wearing a 28 waist 32 length. I like the regular fit, I am in my 40's and it's hard for me to adjust to the skinny jeans however, I don't want to be completely out of style, so I feel that these are the perfect style for me. I do like the patchwork in the upper right corner, right below the right pocket. There also very unique with the metallic rivets. The rivets range from about 1/8 inch in diameter to a 1/4 inch in diameter. There are 4 different sizes of rivets. They are button up in the front. The pockets are nice and deep, so that your change or chapstick ... MoreI actually really like these jeans. Levi's has stepped up their game. The quality of these jeans are top notch.

If your looking for a really nice pair of stylish jeans that you know will last, then these are the ones you want.
These 501 jeans feels like the Levi’s when they first came out. These aren’t the tight skinny jeans. They’re straight leg jeans. I wear a women’s size 27 in some styles and 28 or 30 in other styles. I also take into consideration any possible shrinkage, because they’re majority cotton. Each style number will fit differently. When you buy these it will save yourself returning them if you take the style into consideration. They’re a little expensive and hardly goes on sale at Target. I got them with a cartwheel additional percentage off total purchase.
I ordered plain, white 501’s. Or so I thought. From now on I will very carefully read the item’s description before I order anything. Part of the description, in this case, said “subtle tie-dye”. I missed that. When I opened the package I expected to find plain, white jeans that would go with everything. Instead, I found white jeans with what looked like blotches all over them. Subtle blotches, of course! Note to self- read item description very carefully when ordering anything! Will I keep these jeans-I haven’t decided yet. I might because I’m pretty certain that I’ll be the only person I know who has them! That’s not a bad thing!It’s not Mark’s fault that I didn’t read carefully. The jeans are just fine-they just are not what I thought I’d ordered!
