Close your eyes. Think “jeans.” Now open. They were 501® Originals, right? With a classic straight leg and iconic styling, they’re literally the blueprint for every pair of jeans in existence—burned into the world’s collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) introduced them in 1873. To this day they’ve never gone out of style. And they never will. Our signature straight fit A blank canvas for customization and self-expression Label says 28x32 (but these have shrunk to a 26x30) but as you can see the waist is 13 inches across no wonder these never fit me! Probably best suited for someone who typically wears a waist 25 in madewell or other brands.
