The ones that started it all, Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans are the ultimate icon of American culture. Crafted from heavyweight 12 oz. 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 rich black 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.
