The ones that started it all, Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans are the ultimate icon of American culture. Crafted from non-stretch, heavyweight 12 oz. cotton denim in a regular fit that's straight through the hip with a slightly tapered leg opening, their mid rise cut sits below the natural waist with a tilted waistband that pitches toward the front. Finished with a slightly faded dark rinse, this pair's classic five-pocket silhouette sports a signature button-fly and 17 leg opening. Less Laundering It's best to wash denim as little as possible in order to prevent shrinking and fading. Delay washing your new jeans as long as you can, instead hanging them out on the washing line to air. When they are ready for a freshening up, turn jeans inside-out and wash separately in cold water and line dry, if possible. Model wears: size 32R Add a leather belt to your new pair of jeans
