FAQs

What does the red tab on the pocket mean?

The red tab is a signature of authenticity. There are various versions, including different text or blank tabs, but all are genuine Levi's products.

Do these jeans have stretch?

The classic 501® Original is typically made of 100% cotton denim, meaning it does not contain elastane or stretch fibers.

How should I wash them?

Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, and hang to dry to preserve the denim's color and fit.

Is the sizing accurate?

They follow standard adult sizing, but because the fabric is non-stretch, it is recommended to ensure your measurements match the size chart closely.

Why is there a button fly instead of a zipper?

The button fly is a historical design element of the 501® that has been maintained since the original 1873 model.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty buttoning the fly during first wear

The button fly is designed to be slightly snug initially. Repeated use will soften the fabric and the buttonholes, making it easier to fasten over time.

The denim feels too rigid or uncomfortable

Wear the jeans around the house to facilitate the break-in process, as the fibers will naturally soften with body heat and movement.

Indigo dye bleeding onto other surfaces

Wash the jeans separately in cold water for the first few cycles to remove excess dye that may remain from the manufacturing process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Levi's 501® jeans last, follow these care guidelines. Always turn the jeans inside out before washing to protect the indigo dye and the outer fabric surface. Use cold water on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent to minimize shrinking and color fading. Avoid frequent machine drying; hang-drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the denim fibers. Because these are classic non-stretch denim, ensure you select your correct waist and length measurements as they will not stretch significantly over time like synthetic blends.
